Kenya: Sugar Annual
8th April 2026
FAS Nairobi forecasts a recovery in Kenya’s sugar production for marketing year (MY) 2026/27, with harvested area projected at 193,000 hectares (ha) and output increasing to 850,000 metric tons (MT) following a relaxing of government controls.
Government-owned players in the industry are transitioning to private operational leases under the Sugar Act 2024 to enhance processing efficiency. National consumption is anticipated to grow 2.2 percent to 1.175 million MT, while reliance on imports is expected to decrease to 370,000 metric tons.
