Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc, a key player in Nigeria’s sugar industry, is steadfast in its commitment to realizing Nigeria’s Sugar Master Plan, positioning the country as a self-reliant force in the global sugar market.
The Company is a leading sugar processor in Nigeria that is engaged in the refining, distributing, and marketing of granulated sugar to major players in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and skin care industries as well as distributors.
With a combined installed refining capacity of 1.49 million tonnes per annum between its Apapa and Numan refineries, the company is a significant player in local sugar production, cultivating 75% of the sugar cane used. Supported by a fleet of over 800 haulage trucks, the company ensures effective product delivery across Nigeria.
Furthermore, upon completion of the ongoing refinery upgrade in Numan, this operation is anticipated to generate 32 megawatts of electricity through the installation of new turbines and 2 high-pressure boilers capable of producing 90 tonnes of steam per hour.
Additionally, the company intends to produce ethanol and animal feed from by-products such as molasses and bagasse.
