Sugar cane delivery in the first five months of the year rose to its highest in four years as good rains in the farming zones helped grow volumes, official data shows.

Data by the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) shows that farmers delivered 2.72 million tonnes of cane to milling factories, a rise of 24 percent compared to a similar period last year.
