Kenya has sufficient sugar for domestic consumption, with the government emphasizing no need for further imports. This assurance comes amidst a legal challenge to the recent ban on sugar imports.

• Kenya expects to produce approximately 800,000 metric tonnes of sugar by year-end, meeting domestic demand.
• Agriculture and Livestock Development Cabinet Secretary Mutahi Kagwe stated the country does not require imported sugar for human use.
• The government banned sugar imports on July 29, 2026, aiming to stabilize prices and reduce reliance on foreign supplies.
