If every Tom dick and harry is allowed to import sugar and the supply is high hence flooding the market. Where will the 'faceless' importers of illegal sugar make their billions?
the industry must be protecte, partly because there are farmers who depend on it and largely because people must 'eat'
Why protect inefficient sugar millers & farmers at the expense of other Kenyans?
It is not inefficiency per se.. it is the effects of being quasi capitalist, pseudo socialist.. and entirely corrupt.
'Other Kenyans' have shown the ability to buy half a litre of milk at even 100 shillings..
Were it not for Qideronomics expansion strategy..MSC would be posting 2B profits.
I however cannot speak for the other companies.
I see the stock is currently in short supply at the market (NSE).
