NSDC Promotes Greenfield Sugar Projects to Boost Nigeria's Production

The Nigerian Sugar Development Council (NSDC) is driving greenfield sugar projects to increase domestic sugar production. By signing memoranda with four concrete and credible investors, the projects aim to add 400,000 metric tons of sugar annually, reducing the need for imports.

Taraba State is identified as a promising location, with ongoing efforts to establish large-scale sugar cane cultivation. The projects seek to leverage Nigeria's agricultural and climatic advantages, ensuring economic growth and infrastructure development.

NSDC emphasizes the importance of collaboration between investors, communities, and governments to establish Taraba State as a significant sugar production hub.
