Sugar Production: FG tasks Dangote Group on 600,000MT target by 2030

The Minister of State for Industry, Senator John Owan Enoh, has tasked the Dangote Group to expand the annual production capacity of its subsidiary, Dangote Sugar Refinery (DSR), to 600,000 metric tonnes by 2030. During his visit to the DSR Complex in Numan, Adamawa state, he noted that current local sugar production falls short of the 1.8 million metric tonnes consumed annually. The minister also expressed the federal government's willingness to work with DSR to eliminate obstacles to increased local sugar production in Nigeria.
