The price of sugarcane has gone up by between Sh300 per tonne with the new pricing ensuring that the least paid farmer will pocket Sh3, 800 per tonne, up from the initial price of Sh3, 500.

This is the new resolution passed by the Cane Pricing Committee (CPC) to boost sugar production and to bridge what had become a worrying stock deficit in warehouses across all the millers.
