Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc (“Dangote Sugar” or “DSR”) is a household name in the sugar refining sector of the Nigerian Food and Beverage Industry. Our entry into the sugar business is dated back to the 1970s with the import and sale of sugar by our parent company, Dangote Industries Limited.
Today, Dangote Sugar is a leading brand that has made a remarkable impact on the Nigerian sugar sector. Our sugar refining facility at Apapa is the largest in Sub-Saharan Africa, with 1.44MT per annum installed capacity. Dangote Sugar is the major supplier of refined sugar to consumers and industrial markets in Nigeria, and strategically positioned to serve the regional markets through exports of its finished products. We refine Vitamin A fortified granulated white sugar packaged in 50kg, 1kg, 500grams and 250grams for direct consumption under the brand name “Dangote Sugar”, as well as the unfortified white sugar for industrial use. Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc, is an integral part of the Federal Government of Nigeria’s National Sugar Development Master Plan. Our goal is to achieve the capacity to produce 1.5 – 2.0 million tonnes of refined sugar annually from sugarcane plantations covering more than 150,000 hectares of land across a number of sites in Nigeria. This step will move Dangote Sugar from a port-based refining to fully integrated sugar production within Nigeria, thereby helping Nigeria to achieve self-sufficiency in sugar production, and create over 100,000 new employment opportunities.
