BlackHorse Commissions 400MT-Per-Day Rice Mill and Sack Plant in Kano

BlackHorse Commissions 400MT-Per-Day Rice Mill and Sack Plant in Kano

BlackHorse Holdings has commissioned a 400-metric-tonne-per-day rice mill and a 240MT sack manufacturing plant in Danzaki, Kano. The facilities are expected to support local rice processing, packaging and food security while expanding manufacturing capacity in northern Nigeria. The rice mill, operated by Crescent Rice Limited, began commercial production at 80MT daily in 2024 and expanded to 240MT in 2025 before reaching its current 400MT capacity. The adjoining Aminchi Bags plant will produce sacks for food and manufacturing businesses, reducing reliance on imported packaging materials. Both plants run on a 3MW independent sustainable energy system. The company says it plans to increase rice-milling capacity beyond 500MT per day and invest in groundnut oil and sorghum processing.

Could this new mill meaningfully improve the availability of locally processed rice in Kano?

Do we know how much of the mill's daily output will actually reach Kano markets?

A 400MT-per-day mill alongside sack production shows how processing and packaging can grow together.

The capacity sounds encouraging, but commissioning facilities alone does not automatically guarantee stronger food security.

The real value will be steady operations: reliable processing, packaging supply, and distribution to buyers.
