Dangote Group is set to end Nigeria's dependence on imported sugar with an investment of more than 700 million sugar expansion plan aimed at boosting local production.
Dangote Sugar Refinery, one of the group's subsidiaries, is planning to invest the money in land development, equipment, infrastructure, training and community engagement, with the aim to build a supply chain that can produce enough raw sugar locally to meet domestic demand and support future manufacturing expansion.
CEO of Dangote Sugar Refinery, Ravindra Singhvi, speaking at the 2025 Lagos International Trade Fair, said the rollout is tied to the push to deepen its backward-integration strategy. The sugar packs, according to him, will come in 100g, 250g, 500g and 1kg sizes, broadening access to households and small businesses.
