Sugar industry stakeholders to hold discussion tomorrow on key issuesKenya

Sugar industry stakeholders will tomorrow hold a meeting to discuss the expiry of the COMESA sugar import safeguards and subdued local sugar prices, among other industry issues. The import safeguards limit sugar imports from COMESA countries to 350,000 tonnes each year and are due to expire in March 2014. The expiry is expected to lead to an increase in cheaper sugar imports from COMESA countries that will undercut local sugar millers. The Government of Kenya aims to apply for a further extension of the COMESA import safeguard to give it more time to privatize 4 state-owned sugar millers to enable them compete more effectively with cheaper imports. Sugar industry stakeholders will also discuss declining prices of local sugar which have fallen 54.1% y/y to KES 3,600 per 50kg bag currently as a result of illegal sugar imports beyond the safeguard limit.

Aaand action! Mumias eyes cost-cutting to reverse Sh1.6bn loss

Mumias recently reduced the price at which it is buying cane from Sh3,825 per tonne to Sh3,385. Its rivals have also reduced their prices by between 11.5 per cent and 27 per cent in what is seen as signal of increased cane supply.

am optimistic that the share will once return to it former glory, It would only take a statement from the government to see it rise from 3.20 to 5 if COMESA safe guards are extended or an elaborate plan is put in place to deal with the cheap sugar from COMESA members. The book values of 8.60 is too juicy form me, however the risk is equally high so am getting into the bus cautiously, slowly by slowly.

Mumias should consider partnering with gava and build a sugar factory in the Galana-Kulalu irrigation scheme.
The government has said it intends to do value addition at the farm and this project may be a huge boost.
