NAIROBI, Jan. 4 (Xinhua) -- Kenya has formally ended over two decades of protection for its sugar industry and will now allow cheap sugar imports from the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA), Africa's largest trading bloc, a government regulatory body said Sunday.
The Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) said that the government has formally exited the COMESA Sugar Safeguard regime after 24 years, marking a decisive transition for the country's sugar industry.
