1) Low cane supplies = low sugar production
2) Low cane supplies = high fixed costs/kg
3) Low cane supplies = no bagasse for electricity production
will the price of sugar remain fixed?

Trust God and be a business person. We do not know what tommorrow holds but we assume all well. Its like buying a plot in the city centre where demand can increase and value goes up five fold!
Was just trying to say that when sugar was Kshs. 100 per kg - we bought it. Kshs. 110, 120, 130, 150, 160.....still buying. Problem is its the speculators and not the sugar companies footing the difference.
What has god(s), ngai, yahweh, allah, krishna to do with the price of sugar? Or the price of mumias shares?
Low production means Mumias has to produce/sell at much higher prices to cover fixed costs & make a profit.
I have a feeling the constantly higher prices at retail are not accruing to mumias.
The only 'hope' I see is if we get steady rains all throughout the remainder of the year. Not floods. Steady rains.
