Aliko Dangote has announced plans for a landmark sugar refinery project in Ghana’s Bono Region, aiming to slash the country’s $162 million sugar import bill and boost local industry. The refinery, situated in Kwame-Danso, will process 12,000 tons of sugarcane daily and span 25,000 hectares of irrigated farmland. It also includes production lines for sugar, molasses, and ethanol. Backed by Ghana’s One District, One Factory (1D1F) initiative, the project promises to create thousands of jobs and strengthen regional food security. Dangote described the venture as a catalyst for economic independence and industrial transformation in Africa, positioning it as part of a broader push to drive agro-industrial growth across the continent.
