This morning, Directors Rod Madden, David Willis, Samantha
Tough, Wally Newman and John Hassell joined the Interflour team as observers of their board meeting.
The rest of us had an early start to look at the IndoFood
noodle factory where we were welcomed and given a presentation on all of the types
of food that they produce. They make about 15 billion packs of noodles
per year.
After a tour of the factory we tasted all of the various types
of noodles which were very good and followed by a banquet of indigenous foods
from the Island of Java.
Leaving there we went to a bakery that produced traditional buns and
bread products. They had 700 three-wheel bike vendors that they supply twice a
day, morning and afternoon.
Next we went to a factory that makes packs of pastry used to make steamed dumplings.
Both factories use flour from the Eastern Pearl Flour Mill,
which WA growers have a share in through CBH and Interflour. Both
factories were very labour intensive and the bakery was famous for making bread
crocodiles which they use at weddings.
