At the behest of the Tanzanian Government, the green field project of Bagamoyo Sugar Limited (Bagamoyo Sugar), a unit of Bakhresa Group, was incorporated on 01 December 2016, to grow sugar cane in the nucleus estate and produce sugar at Makurunge, Bagamoyo District. The main objective of the project is not only reducing dependence on sugar imports and attaining self-sufficiency but also producing surplus sugar for export.
Bagamoyo Sugar Ltd was incorporated on 01 December 2016 as a sugarcane production and processing subsidiary of the Bakhresa Group, following the acceptance of the land offered by the Government.
Bagamoyo Sugar Ltd aims to alleviate the shortfall in domestic sugar supply by developing a sugar cane plantation and set up a green-field integrated sugar processing plant for sugar production.
The Bagamoyo Greenfield Sugar Project has already been launched and sits less than 80km from Tanzania’s commercial capital, Dar-Es-Salaam. Near the historical town of Bagamoyo in the coastal region, the construction work for the brand new sugar factory is already in progress.
The company brought a number of innovative solutions which is being deployed in incremental phases whilst setting up the multi-million dollar sugar production facility.
