West Kenya Sugar Company Limited is set to build a Sh3.86 billion distillery plant as part of a product diversification drive amid heated competition in its main table sugar business.
The miller said the plant will be built adjacent to its Kabras sugar factory, off the Kakamega-Webuye highway in Kakamega county. The Kabras factory, with a milling capacity of 5,000 tonnes of sugarcane per day, already produces 12 megawatts of electricity as part of a cogeneration programme.
