The Kenya Bureau of Standards(Kebs) has set tough rules for consignments of sugar entering the country under the State’s duty-free import window that was gazetted on August 9, 2023, to help deal with a deficit in production locally.
The Cabinet last month sanctioned the extension of duty-free imports to help tame skyrocketing prices which hit a record of between Sh225 and Sh250 a kilogramme amid a biting shortage of the commodity.
