Agricultural Reforms, Production Targets, and Labor Disputes Impact Key Sectors - September 2025
Kenya's agricultural sector is seeing significant developments, including government targets to double the nation's annual milk production to 10 billion litres. In the sugar sector, reforms under President Ruto's administration will introduce a new payment system where farmers are compensated based on sugar content rather than weight. However, this sector faces unrest, as the Kenya Union of Sugar Plantation and Allied Workers (KUSPAWU) is threatening a strike over a 20 billion Kenyan Shilling debt. Despite government optimism, farmers in key crops like maize and coffee also continue to grapple with persistent challenges.
