Nigeria: Sugar Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

MY2015/16 domestic sugar production is estimated at 70,000 tons (raw value), a decline of over seven percent from the 2014/15 estimate of 75,000 tons. Without improved infrastructure, local supplies will not meet Nigeria’s rising sugar consumption over the next five years. Nigeria’s sugar requirements are mainly met through imports of raw sugar that are refined locally. MY2015/16 raw sugar imports are estimated at 1.3 million tons, an increase of 5,000 tons over that for MY2014/2015. An import quota for raw sugar has been adopted. For local sugar refineries to import raw sugar, they must also produce raw sugar locally. Brazil continues to be the largest raw sugar supplier to Nigeria.
