Nellara Through the Years -
A Legacy That Lives On
From 1984 to date, here is how we have grown from a single flour mill to an international food brand.
We began as a small flour mill in 1984 and have grown into today’s trusted name across continents. We have a story of a journey shaped by passion, perseverance, and the pursuit of quality.
Our story began when M.K Moidunni Bava landed in the UAE, bearing the spirit of his South Indian agricultural heritage in his heart. His clear vision and unwavering commitment to quality laid the foundation of RF Combine Holdings and its brands, including Nellara, starting with the Atiq Abdulla Flour Mill L.L.C. Our flour mill was named on behalf of our sponsor, Atiq Abdulla, who is a UAE citizen.
