According to a 2008 observation by kenya sugar board the only sugar millers that can survive without COMESA safeguards are Westen Kenya,Mumias sugar and Kibos and allied industries.

Mumias currently controls about 60% of the market we saw how dominant it was when it shut down its plant for maintenance ..The market has not recovered one month after it resumed operation.

So does this mean Mumias can still flex its muscle post 2012...I think it can.

Very interesting. Production cost per tonne in Kenya is 410-500, while 6 hours bus ride away (Uganda, Tanzania) it is half as much. The question is, why such a disparity? A more pertinent question is what is Mumias' cost of production?

Mumias need to change their attitude and systems to survive. How can a country experience sugar shortage and yet they claim to be in the competitive sugar business? It's like telling me that eabl has run out of Tusker leave alone alcohol. Can you imagine how much profits they would have made if they had forecast this shortage and really how hard is it to forecast something that occurs every year?

BBI will solve it
