By IBRAHIM ORUKO More by this AuthorCane farmers have endorsed the decision by the government to disband the boards of public-owned sugar millers. Mr Busolo said the boards had failed to improve the financial health of the factories. In 2008, the area under cane in nucleus estate was 1,995 hectares and 3,488 hectares for Chemelil and Nzoia respectively. For Sony Sugar, area under cane by outgrowers declined to 10,840ha in 2017 from 17,041ha in 2008. “This decline is steep, an indication of a serious problem,” Mr Busolo said.
