Sugarcane farmers are now appealing to the National Assembly’s Committee on Agriculture to set up an inquiry into the importation of cheap sugar into the county amid allegations of dumping.
While Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya defended the government against allegations of indiscriminate dumping of cheap sugar into the country, cane growers have raised concerns, saying the cheap imports are crippling the sector.
