Similar to the backward integration programme that ended the importation of cement into the country, bulk importers of raw sugar were given a target to end the importation of this very essential commodity used by the food, beverages and pharmaceutical industries by 2020.

They also spoke to the Managing Director, Agro-Allied Division, Flour Mills of Nigeria Plc, Mr. Hugh Glyn Jones
