Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc, established in 1999 by Mr. Aliko Dangote, officially commenced operations in March 2000 as the sugar division of Dangote Industries Limited. The sugar-refining factory located at Apapa port was inaugurated in 2001, initially equipped with the capacity to process 600,000 metric tons of raw sugar annually.
The company's venture into the sugar business traces back to the 1970s, marked by the import and sale of sugar by its parent company, Dangote Industries Limited. Today, Dangote Sugar stands as a prominent brand, significantly influencing the Nigerian sugar sector. The Apapa facility is the largest sugar refinery in Sub-Saharan Africa, boasting an installed capacity of 1.44 million metric tons per annum.
Situated at Shed 20 NPA Apapa Wharf Complex in Lagos, the world-class facility was commissioned in 2000, marking the first sugar refinery establishment in Nigeria with an initial refining capacity of 600,000 metric tons per annum. Undergoing two major upgrades over the years, the refinery has transformed into one of the world's largest sugar refineries, maintaining its 1.44 million metric tons per annum refining capacity at the same location. The refinery operates efficiently with gas and/or Low-Pour Fuel Oil (LPFO), featuring a robust 16MW in-house power generation capability.
Dangote Sugar Refinery produces 45 ICUMSA Vitamin A Fortified refined granulated free-flowing crystal white sugar, available in various packaging options including 50kg, 1kg, 500g, and 250g, as well as non-fortified granulated sugar in 50kg bags. The brand, known as Dangote Sugar, enjoys widespread preference among Nigerian consumers over other sugar brands.
The facility and production processes adhere strictly to regulatory and international standards, with flexibility to accommodate customer requests for special products and packaging.
