The word is potable,not portable. If you asked me,MSC is losing focus. Power generation is arguably related to sugar production as bagasse is used. But WATER! When you copy something someone is doing,make it better - what will they add to make it 'sweeter' than Darsani? What will be landed costs at the biggest market - Nairobi given as MSC is at least 300 km away?

@GG... there is a large enough market in western,Nyanza and north rift to consume 2 million litres a month,and effectively compete with the likes of Dasani,being supplied all the way from nairobi,and kerengeti from molo. By the way,MSC already has a water treatment plant and are looking at investing in a uvt palnt,an ozonator and a bottling palnt. Next,perhaps fruit juices for MSC. All water bottling companies are moving that way: cocacola; Kevian; Kilimanjaro; and many more.

Happiness is not a right - except for children. You won't be happy if you think too much. The search of happiness is one cause os sorrow.

MSC has always been planning to do......... yet again,they plan to do. Get out of this counter while the going is good. i.e. before the Losses are announced with you on board.

It will soon be 50 cents.

Are you sure about that? They've probably sensed trouble and are diversifying early. Read below.

Kenya’s sugar industry is in dire straits. And no matter what steps are taken now,it may be too late to salvage the sector come January 1,2012.
That is the date Comesa will open the gates for member states to export the commodity to Kenya. The Kenya Sugar Board says that,while the country has had 10 years to prepare the sector for competition,this has not been done. It adds that nothing on the ground indicates that tangible steps have been taken by the Ministry of Agriculture to make Kenyan sugar competitive in the Common Market for East and Southern Africa states.The situation has been further complicated by last year’s move by Agriculture Minister William Ruto to cancel import licences,sparking a court case that is yet to be resolved.'If we have not done anything in 10 years,what substantial gains can we make in two years?' asks economist Moses Ndiritu. He says Kenya went off the track more than 30 years ago,when a strategy paper on developing the sugar industry was abandoned and politics crept in.A Kenya Sugar Board director,Saulo Busolo,told The EastAfrican that the country has been requesting special exemptions under the Comesa Safeguard provisions since 2002,on the argument that its sugar industry needs to be prepared to take on competition

The best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. The second best time is now.
