Dangote Sugar rakes in N36.27bn profit in 9 months

Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc has announced a Profit Before Tax (PBT) of N36.27 billion for a duration of nine months which ended on September 30, 2022.

The Group Managing Director, Dangote Sugar Refinery Plc, Ravindra Singhvi, made this known via a statement issued on Sunday.

He said the company’s PBT rose by N13.17 billion compared to N23.10 billion posted in the corresponding period in 2022.

Singhvi added that the Profit After Tax (PAT) rose from N15.51 billion to N24.83 billion, while revenue went up from N195.50 billion to N288.32 billion.

He attributed the positive results for the period to key trade interventions introduced during the year and positive market responses.

He recalled that the company recorded a PBT of N29.73 billion for the half year which ended on June 30, 2022, noting that PAT hit N20.24 billion in that period.

“Our impressive performance in the period demonstrates our resilience in the face of prevalent challenges, which rightly reflected in strong top-line growth as seen in the financial results,” he said.

Singhvi said Dangote Sugar Refinery had continued to implement its sugar backward integration projects plans and enhance its outgrowers scheme to support the economic growth of the immediate communities.

He said the company’s aim was to develop a robust outgrower scheme with no fewer than 5,000 outgrowers when the projects have fully taken off.

This, he explained, was in addition to the achievement of other targets of its ‘Sugar for Nigeria Project’ plan.

“The key focus of the sugar refinery is achievement of the Dangote Sugar Backward Integration Projects targets and putting Nigeria on the path of sugar self-sufficiency and the world sugar map.

“Employees health and safety as well as that of its partners remains a top priority at the company’s operations at the Apapa Refinery, its Sugar Backward Integration Operations in Numan, Adamawa and Tunga, Nasarawa.

“All processes are in compliance with stipulated health and safety protocols,” he said.
