The private millers some operating on 'scrap' machines bought from Mumias are doing well. Butali seems to be starring.

A Kwale-based sugar factory backed by Mauritian giant, Omnicane, has begun modifying its packaging line to pack smaller retail units beginning July, as the company eyes the mass market.

Mauritian sugar producer Alteo's full-year results will be significantly better than last year, helped by a strong performance by its farming business, the company said on Friday after posting a 55 per cent third-quarter profit leap.

They are used by sugar barons to launder sugar. There is very little production of their own sugar. Once Mumias and Sony collapse fully, you will see them naked.
