Recently, the chairman of Dangote Refinery, Alhaji Aliko Dangote said the company’s long-term target for 2025 and beyond was to increase refined sugar production to 1.5 million metric tonnes annually.
“This would place Dangote Sugar as a key contributor to Nigeria’s self-sufficiency in sugar production, reducing the nation’s reliance on sugar imports,” he stated.

The Company operates an annual 1.44 million metric tonnes (MT) sugar refining plant in Apapa and a 50,000 tonne per annum refining facility in Numan, Adamawa State, making a total refining capacity of 1.49 million metric tonnes.
DSR has continued to invest in a backward integration programme to reduce its reliance on sugar imports. DSR has 47,364 hectares of sugar plantation and aims to produce 1.5MT of refined sugar annually from its sugarcane in the medium term.
