Sugar cane farmers harvest cane in a plantation. Residents of Tana Delta sub-county want the national government to implement a Sh10 billion sugar farming project they previously rejected.
Businessman Julius Mwale, who placed a Sh27 billion bid in the leasing of ailing Mumias Sugar, has proposed a Sh2.2 billion to farmers in a bid to woo them back into sugarcane farming.
Mr Mwale, through his Tumaz & Tumaz Enterprise, said the money would be channelled towards growers through the Mumias Outgrowers Company.
