Sugar cane deliveries from farmers to millers grew by 20 percent in the six months to June compared to the corresponding period last year, boosted by good rains and increased demand from factories that have resumed operations in western Kenya.

Data by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that farmers delivered 3.95 million tonnes in the period, up from 3.28 million tonnes last year.
