SUGAR CANE SUPPLY
9
 90% of cane supply to the factories is from
contracted cane farmers, while 10% is from the
respective factory the nucleus estates.
 The area under cane has gradually risen over the past
10 years by 74% to reach 213,710 Ha in 2012.

CANE YIELD
 The cane yields have been declining owing to
continuous land use. The high cane demand has
also led to occasional harvest of younger cane,
reducing the yield.
 To mitigate this, we are currently undertaking
research on soil management in the various agroecological zones, aimed at improving soil fertility.
 We have also embarked on a cane development
program that will ensure adequate cane supply to
all factories

MILESTONES
ISO 9001:2008 Certified
MILESTONES
1. Co-generation
 The industry has potential to generate up to 190
MW of electricity from this source, which is
currently under-exploited.
 Currently, only Mumias Sugar Company
produces electricity for commercial use, having
installed modern power generation equipment at
a feed in tariff of 10 US cents per mw.
 The rest of the factories produce at a lower scale
for consumption by the respective factories.
ISO 9001:2008 Certified
MILESTONES
2. Ethanol Production
 The National Bio-fuel Policy has been developed,
which allows for 10% blending of ethanol with
petrol.

Mumias has already developed an ethanol plant,
currently being commissioned.

CHALLENGES FACING THE
INDUSTRY
 High Cost of Inputs
 Punitive taxation regime
 Diminishing land sizes
 Reliance on rain-fed cane production
 Inadequate capital for operations, factory
rehabilitation, maintenance of infrastructure,
modernization and expansion
ISO 9001:2008 Certified
CHALLENGES FACING THE
INDUSTRY
 Weak Research and Extension linkages
 Cane Fires
 Challenging regulatory framework with slow pace
of amendment of laws and gazettement of
regulations
ISO 9001:2008 Certified
CHALLENGES FACING THE
INDUSTRY
 Changing farmer attitudes to view sugarcane
production as a business
 Motivation of farmers to produce higher quality
cane
 Reduced levels of factory efficiencies
ISO 9001:2008 Certified
REQUIRED INTERVENTIONS
ISO 9001:2008 Certified
Improved Productivity
 Introduction of cane quality monitoring processes
 Introduction of quality based cane purchase system
to motivate farmers to deliver higher sucrose
tonnages opposed to higher cane tonnages
 Improved factory performance management and
reporting for easy benchmarking
ISO 9001:2008 Certified
Pilot Cane Testing Project at Nzoia Sugar
 The project scope includes the construction and
equiping of a laboratory with cane sampling and
testing equipment, installation of a cane payment
IMS for capturing data from the weighbridge, cane
testing laboratory and compilation of growers cane
proceeds on the basis of the current legal cane
payment fomula.
 Installation was through a turn-key project in
which Bosch and Adapt IT were responsible for all
project delivery activities.

Pilot Cane Testing Project at Nzoia Sugar
 Project installation delivered successfully last
December to KSB
 Kenya Sugar Research Foundation is currently
undertaking trials on the economic feasibility of
changing the countries cane payment system from
that based on weight to one based on quality.
 To date over 1170 samples have been tested in the
research phase of the project.
