Who We Are

A heritage of sweetness, a future refined.

South Nyanza Sugar Company 2025 Limited (SonySugar) was established in 1979 in South Western Kenya, Migori County. The company premises and nucleus estate cover 2,492 hectares, supported by an out-grower cane area of 15,500 hectares.

SonySugar serves over 25,000 cane farmers spread across the cane-growing zones of Migori, Homa Bay, Narok, Kisii and Nyamira counties — contributing significantly to Kenya's Vision 2030 through the manufacture of quality sugar and associated products at an installed capacity of 3000 TCD.

The company's stewardship has evolved over the decades, and in 2025 the Government of Kenya leased the company to Busia Sugar Limited, energising SonySugar for a new era of growth, efficiency and customer focus.

Sugar Production Process

From cane to crystal.

One of Kenya's largest producers, with a capacity of 60,000 tonnes per annum. Every stage is engineered for quality, efficiency and care for the environment.

01

Cane Preparation

Hydro unloaders, cranes and loaders feed the cane; choppers, cutters and fibrizers open cells for efficient juice extraction.

02

Milling

A series of roller mills crush prepared cane to extract maximum juice. Bagasse is conveyed to the boilers as fuel.

03

Process House

Clarification, multiple-effect evaporation and vacuum-pan boiling concentrate the syrup into sugar crystals (massecuite).

04

Curing & Drying

Centrifuges separate crystals, which are washed, dried and graded into high-quality granulated sugar for packaging.

60,000 t Annual sugar production capacity — backed by steam generation and renewable power from bagasse, supporting a self-sustaining, environmentally responsible plant.

By-products & circular value

Nothing is wasted — every by-product is returned to value.

Bagasse

Fibrous residue burned in boilers to generate steam and renewable energy.

Boiler Ash

Used as a soil amendment to improve farm soil fertility.

Filter Cake

Pressed clarifier mud reused as organic fertilizer for cane and crops.

Molasses

Sold to distilleries and to farmers for animal feed — the final sweet residue.
