Sugar to retail at Sh100/kg due to importation of 56,000 metric tonne

The national government has assured citizens that sugar prices will decrease to between Sh100 and Sh110 per kilo.

Agriculture CS Willy Bett on Friday said the decrease in cost is due to the importation of 56,000 metric tonnes of sugar.

Currently, the average price for a kilo is Sh200, a 53.8 per cent increase from Sh106 per kilo in January.

The price of a 50-kilo bag had reached Sh9, 000, but is now retailing at Sh5, 500.

Bett said the reduction in price should be reflected in supermarkets.
