Dubai Sugar Giant Gets Go Ahead to Build Beet Factory

Dubai’s Al Khaleej Sugar Company, owner of the world’s largest port-based sugar refinery, received the green light to build a factory in Spain.

The company plans to start construction of the plant in Merida next year, said Managing Director Jamal Al Ghurair. The agreement between its subsidiary Iberica Sugar Co. and Spanish authorities was signed on July 16, 2021, he said.

The new factory will require an investment of about 500 million euros ($590 million) and will produce as much as 900,000 metric tons of sugar a year, he said. That’s about the size of the factory in Egypt that the Jamal Al Ghurair group invested in. Operations in Spain are expected to begin in 2024.

The move comes as Al Khaleej seeks to expand to sugar-beet processing, with a factory in Egypt and now one in Spain. The company’s business in Dubai, which processes raw cane sugar, has seen thinner margins in recent years due to bigger supplies from the European Union and India, while some of its biggest markets opened factories of their own.
