Earnings from exports by Kenyan sugar confectionery firms fell by Sh136 million in the six months ended June compared with a similar period last year, statistics show, partly reflecting unending trade tiff with Tanzania and Uganda.
Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) latest data indicate earnings from sugar confectionery such as sweets, biscuits and chocolate dropped to Sh2.378 billion in the period from Sh2.514 billion a year earlier.
