Molinera Itata is a family business with unique expertise in the production and processing of oats. It was founded in 1999 in Chile and is located in the city of Carmen, in central-south Chile, where cereals with distinct characteristics have been grown for centuries. The company stems from the union of a family of farmers and a family of industrialists, who together dreamed of an oat processing plant with the highest international standards.
“Ten years ago, we started a very simple project intended to make the most of the great yield of superior-quality oats from this region. Little by little we added knowledge, visiting other countries and getting to know the available technologies. The project forced us to think big, envisioning a modern, automated plant that could accommodate future growth and would guarantee a safe final product with excellent quality,” explains Armando Berdichevski, General Manager of Itata.
