Kenya: Sugar Annual
Link to report:
FAS/Nairobi forecasts a 19.8 percent drop in Kenya’s MY 2025/26 sugar production to 650,000 metric tons, from 810,000 metric ton (MT) in MY 2024/25, on an expected reduction in harvested area and lower sugar extraction rates. Sugar consumption is anticipated to increase 1.6 percent to 1.25 million, due increased use in households and in the hospitality sector, driven by higher disposable incomes, and the growth in the hospitality sector. Sugar imports are also expected to surge by 38 percent, to offset the anticipated local supply deficit. Imports are expected to come from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa and East African Community countries because of tariff advantages.
