Sugar prices reduced by 4.6 percent in February following the end of a four-month-long ban on the crushing of cane which has increased local production, handing a boost to consumers.

Data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows a kilo of sugar sold for an average of Sh200.01 in February, a decrease of Sh9.54 from Sh209.55 in January.
