The Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) has sought to calm fears of rising sugar prices, saying national supply remains secure despite production challenges. The board said sugar output fell to 613,000 metric tonnes in 2025, meeting 61% of demand, due to dry weather and sector reforms. It added that government safeguards are in place to stabilize prices, with production expected to recover in early 2026 as milling resumes and cane harvests increase.
