Bin Omeir Holding, an Abu Dhabi-based private investment group, is considering investing $300 million to build a sugar refinery in Sudan and may plan further projects in the country, a Sudanese embassy official said on Wednesday.
The plant would produce 100,000 tonnes of sugar and 20 million litres of ethanol a year in the White Nile province of Sudan, said Nour Al Huda Abdul Alim, economic adviser at the Sudanese embassy in Abu Dhabi.
A company official who asked not to be named confirmed the report, without giving details.
Bin Omeir Holding, a large family-owned business group based in Abu Dhabi, has investments in automobile dealerships, tourism, export and import, financial sector and other businesses.
