Sugarcane farmers are set to receive Sh2.7 billion owed by State-owned millers this week after the national treasury released the cash to the agriculture ministry.

The money covers deliveries made by farmers to the cash-strapped millers from 2014. Farmers attached to Mumias Sugar Company are owed Sh889m while their counterparts at Sony Sugar are yet to be paid Sh512m.
