Kenya is bracing for a festive season with a pinch of salt, literally, as sugar prices have gone up. The increase in sugar prices is expected to affect consumers and businesses alike, particularly those in the food and beverage industry.
According to reports, the price of sugar has risen due to various factors, including increased demand during the festive season and a shortage of the commodity. The shortage is attributed to a combination of factors, including a decline in sugar production and a surge in demand for the commodity.
As the festive season approaches, consumers can expect to pay more for their sugar needs. The increase in sugar prices is likely to have a ripple effect on the economy, particularly in the food and beverage industry.
