The Dangote Group has Officially Launched Africa’s Largest Tomato Processing Factory in Kano, Nigeria, Following Five Years of Construction and a $20 Million Investment. This technologically advanced facility is poised to revolutionize Nigeria’s tomato processing industry, previously dependent on Chinese imports valued at $20 million annually. The factory will significantly reduce foreign exchange expenditure, enhance domestic production capacity, and provide employment opportunities for local farmers, thereby curbing rural-urban migration. Aliko Dangote, Chairman of the Dangote Group, has commended the project as a milestone achievement in Nigeria’s quest for self-sufficiency in food production, offering a shining example for African nations seeking to reduce import reliance and foster local economic growth. The launch of the factory is a significant stride toward Nigeria’s economic diversification and food security objectives, with continent-wide implications. As CEO of JAGAJAG AFRICALTD and a firm advocate for ‘Made in Nigeria’ and African products, I welcome discussion.
