Farmers are set to benefit from a windfall after the government once again increased the minimum price of sugarcane, raising it from Ksh5,500 to Ksh5,750 per tonne.
This increase follows a previous rise in May, when the price moved from Ksh5,250 to Ksh5,500 per tonne.
The 4th Interim Sugarcane Pricing Committee approved the increase of Ksh250 after reviewing ex-factory sugar prices for the April to June period.
The new price is set to take effect on Monday July 21.
