Kenya's sugar imports more than doubled in January 2025 compared to December last year, driven by huge orders of the industrial variant of the sweetener used for the manufacture of soft drinks, chewing gum, and confectioneries among others.
Fresh data by the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) shows that total sugar imports increased significantly to 32,517 tonnes, up from 14,163 tonnes in December 2024---marking a 129.59 percent jump.
