BUA Foods Invests $200m in Lafiagi Sugar Estate Expansion

Date: 2024-02-15

BUA Foods, a leading Nigerian food conglomerate, has announced an investment of $200 million in its Lafiagi Sugar Estate located in Kwara State.

The Managing Director of BUA Foods, Ayodele Abioye, revealed this during a press briefing held at the company's headquarters in Lagos.

Abioye said the leading company plans to enhance its integrated sugar estate project to reduce reliance on foreign exchange for raw materials.

The project includes the construction of a sugar refinery, ethanol plant, and supporting infrastructure aimed at bolstering local production.

The Lafiagi Sugar Estate spans approximately 20,000 hectares and integrates various components such as a sugar refinery with a daily capacity of 20,000 metric tonnes, along with an industrial ethanol plant.

Abioye underscored the importance of reducing dependency on forex for sourcing raw materials, citing challenges faced due to Nigeria's lack of industrial agricultural production of sugarcane.

BUA Foods aims to bolster its local supply chain by engaging with communities and establishing partnerships in agriculture.

Abioye emphasized the need for sustainable practices and community involvement in fostering self-sufficiency.

The company's investment reflects its dedication to expanding domestic production capabilities and driving economic growth in Nigeria's agricultural sector.
