Nigeria is a net importer of sugar, either raw for refining or in its refined and granulated forms. This dependence on imports, a reflection that until recently, Nigeria had no functional sugar production industry; despite the fact that Nigeria is a country that is blessed with abundant fertile land suitable for sugar cane farming.
Recognizing this paradox, the Federal Government of Nigeria in year 2012 drew up and implemented the Nigerian Sugar Master Plan, (NSMP), an ambitious drive to make Nigeria self-sufficient in sugar production by achieving 1.7 MT of refined sugar from locally grown sugarcane per annum. The plan will also see to the reduction in outflows of Nigerian cash for imports and creating thousands of jobs in sugar production.
For the achievement of our 1.5 – 2.0 million metric tons of refined sugar from locally grown sugar cane from our integrated sugar sites across Nigeria, our strategy is to farm more than 150,000 hectares of land in addition to Dangote Sugar Numan brownfield project.
Integrated sugar mills will be sited at various locations to:
– Refine white sugar from locally grown sugarcane to sell into local markets and where appropriate, to export to other markets across West Africa.
– Generate power from bagasse for own use, with any excess electricity being sold to the national grid.
– Produce Fuel Ethanol (ethyl alcohol).
– Produce Animal feed from molasses and bagasse.
– Produce Bio-Fertilizer from press mud /filter cake during sugar manufacturing.
Dangote Sugar Refinery backward integration project located at Numan, Adamawa State, Nigeria is a sugar production operation on 32,000 hectares of land, with a milling capacity of 50,000 tonnes of sugar per annum.
At present, DSR Numan produces refined sugar from just 6,750 hectares of sugar cane cultivated on its sugarcane fields; with over 700 full-time staff, and over 5,000 part-time staff, with seasonal workers during the harvest season.
The Nasarawa Sugar Company Limited, is one of Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc Backward Integration Projects. The 78,000 hectares Sugar Project Site, located at Tunga, Awe Local Government Area, of Nasarawa State, along River Benue in Nigeria.
The Memorandum of Understanding with the Nasarawa state government was signed, in June 2017, and the compensation for the land in the sum of N3.25 billion fully paid to the landowners. The land clearing, planting and infrastructure development are ongoing at the site, as well as factory design amongst others.
In addition, the various social responsibility projects lined up for execution in the immediate communities are ongoing, while some were completed.
The project employs about 325 staff, 175 permanent staff and 150 casuals for the land development, which will continue to increase in line with the requirements for the project development.
This first phase of the project has begun with pre-project implementation activities and the development of our Lau/Tau project site in Taraba State. The Lau & Tau Sugar Project will be the first of the new sites to be developed over the next three years. The area is located on the south bank of the Benue River in Taraba State, about 30 km Northeast of Jalingo, in Taraba State.
The total land area at Lau/Tau is 30,000ha. The project will produce 2.3 million tonnes of sugarcane. Lau/Tau will have a cane milling factory capable of handling 12,000 tonnes/day, and the aim is to produce 250,000 tonnes of refined sugar per annum.
