Mr Koskei said the tractor project was one of the major plans to turnaround the sugar sector to allow maximum economic productivity.

"He said Kenya will work closely with Brazil to borrow tips for high sugar productivity. “Brazil is among the world leaders in the production of sugarcane, sugar, and ethanol. In addition, it is among the most efficient of all major sugar producers,” he said.

Brazil also exports sugar products."

plus 500m loan to mumias.

the signs are all there that GOk will not let our sugar industry die. The farmers going without work/productivity, employment rate is more of a concern to them than COMESA safeguards.

Morals of the story are that extensions can be made with the bigger picture in mind (as @Aguy has described above), 2.

They are on a path of streamlning.. the Agric field dept. allready started in Dec.
