The sugar estate is located on the banks of River Niger, in Mokwa,
featuring 17, 000 hectares of irrigable farmland and a sugar mill that
processes 4,500 metric tons of sugarcane per day, considered as the
company’s biggest agricultural investment in Nigeria.
The sugar
estate, owned by Sunti Golden Sugar Estates (SGSE) Ltd., a subsidiary of
Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc., will at full capacity, produce one million
tons of sugarcane, which roughly translates into 100,000 metric tons of
sugar yearly.
The farm at the peak of production will provide
direct employment for about 10,000 people yearly, and impact up to
50,000 people indirectly, including 3,000 small-scale out growers who
will be cultivating sugarcane to feed the mill.
