The Kenya Sugar Board has published the May 2026 Sugar Market Highlights, providing a concise overview of the key developments that shaped Kenya's sugar industry during the month. The publication brings together the latest information on sugarcane milling, sugar production, molasses performance, local sugar prices, foreign trade, and global sugar market trends, giving stakeholders an accessible snapshot of the industry's performance.
This month's highlights reflect a slowdown in production compared to April, with lower sugarcane milling, sugar production, miller sales, and molasses output recorded across the industry. Despite the reduced production, sugarcane prices remained stable at the minimum set price, while ex-factory, wholesale, and retail sugar prices registered modest increases. The publication also provides updates on sugar imports and exports, CIF landed values for imported sugar, and developments in the international sugar market, offering useful context on the factors influencing both domestic and global sugar trade.
Prepared as an easy-to-read summary, the May 2026 Sugar Market Highlights enable farmers, millers, traders, investors, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders to quickly understand the month's performance before exploring the detailed market newsletter. Whether you are monitoring production trends, price movements, or trade dynamics, the highlights provide a reliable starting point for staying informed.
