The Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) insists sugar prices will remain stable despite high demand and ongoing sector reforms. This assurance comes as the country faces production challenges and reduced milling capacity due to factory modernisations.

• Kenya's 2025 sugar production was 613,000 metric tonnes (MT), meeting only 61% of the 1.2 million MT national demand, a 25% drop from 815,000 MT in 2024.
• The regulator attributed the decline to a reform phase that involved temporary closure of seven factories and extensive renovations worth Sh12.5 billion in four state-owned sugar factories.
• The KSB expects a strong rebound in domestic production from October–November 2026, supported by Sh1.2 billion Sugar Development Levy-funded programmes and mill rehabilitation.
