May 2026 Sugar Market News
The Kenya Sugar Board has released the May 2026 Sugar Market Highlights, providing a concise overview of developments across Kenya's sugar industry during the month. The publication summarizes key trends in sugarcane milling, sugar production, market prices, trade, molasses performance, and the global sugar market, giving stakeholders a quick snapshot of the sector's performance.
May 2026 saw a slowdown in production activity, with declines in sugarcane milling, sugar production, miller sales, and molasses production compared to April. Despite the lower output, sugarcane prices remained stable at the minimum set price, while ex-factory, wholesale, and retail sugar prices all recorded modest increases during the month. The highlights also provide updates on sugar imports and exports, CIF landed values for imported sugar, and movements in international sugar prices.
The publication is designed to keep farmers, millers, traders, investors, researchers, policymakers, and other stakeholders informed of the latest market developments through an easy-to-read summary of the month's performance.
