The sugar industry plays a significant role in Kenya’s economy, contributing about 15 percent to the country’s agricultural GDP (KSI, 2009). The sector supports more than 250,000 smallholder farmers, who supply over 92 percent of the sugarcane processed by sugar companies, while the remainder is supplied by factory-owned nucleus estates (KSI, 2009). An estimated 25 percent of the country’s population depends directly or indirectly on the sugar industry for their livelihood. In addition, the industry saves the Country in excess of USD 250 million in foreign exchange annually and contributes to tax revenues to the exchequer (KSB, 2010).
