Sugar factories in western Kenya were yesterday ordered to shut their mills for three months amid concerns over harvesting of immature crop.
The directive by the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) targets seven companies, including Mumias, Butali, and West Kenya in Kakamega. The temporary closure from July 14, 2025, will also affect Nzoia and Naitiri in Bungoma, as well as the Busia Sugar Industry and Olepito in Busia.
