The flour milling company was organized in 1987 right after the government opened the business to new entrants. The first milling plant was built in Iloilo City and started milling flour on December 6, 1990. La Filipina has always been in the flour business, first, as an end user (bakery business) and retailer (grocery store), then as an importer, and later on, as a major flour distributor in the Visayas and Mindanao areas. The first milling plant had a capacity of 400 metric tons wheat per day. This was expanded to 600 metric tons per day three years later and to 920 metric tons per day after another three years. The first milling plant is the only flour milling facility in the Western Visayas region. It includes 34,000 metric tons vertical and horizontal grain storage, bagged flour and pollard storage, a 20 metric ton per hour feed mill with warehouses for raw material and finished products, and a 180 metric ton per hour pneumatic unloader.
