Dangote Sugar Refinery is investing over $700 million to enhance Nigeria’s domestic sugar production and reduce reliance on imports.
The initiative includes land acquisition, machinery upgrades, and community engagements, marking a significant reform in Nigeria’s sugar sector.
Nigeria imports significant volumes of sugar annually, emphasizing the need for local production expansion to boost self-sufficiency.
The company’s investments aim to produce 700,000 tonnes of sugar locally within five years, creating over 75,000 jobs in the process.
