Project: Dangote Group Tomato Plant
Location: Kano, Nigeria.
Project Cost : Unknown
Aliko Dangote has completed construction of the
continent’s biggest tomato-processing plant in Kano, Nigeria which is
expected to reduce the country’s dependence on tomato paste and puree
import. National Salt Company of Nigeria PLC (NASCON) acquired by the Dangote
Group as the Core Investor in 1996, imports and sells Petti brand of
Tomato Puree.
The Nigerian Voice reports that the 1,200 metric ton installed capacity
factory has been built in the Staple Crop Processing Zone Development
(SCPZ). Development of this special zone is one of the focus points of
the Agricultural Transformation Agenda (ATA) of Nigeria’s Former President
Goodluck Jonathan.
The idea is to attract private sector investments into modern processing
of locally produced crops, livestock, fisheries and related
agribusiness activities.
Food and agriculture experts expect that the new tomato-processing
factory will create price stability for tomato farmers when they harvest
and they will do more than one cropping season hence forth. The
presence of the factory will encourage farmers to produce more.
