The Kenya Sugar Board has issued a two-week deadline for all entities involved in sugar re-packaging to formally register with the regulator.
In a notice on Tuesday, November 4, the agency said the move is aimed at ensuring full compliance with quality and traceability requirements in the sugar industry.
“In exercise of the powers conferred under Section 61 of the Sugar Act, 2024, and pursuant to the Sugar (General) Regulations, 2025, the Kenya Sugar Board hereby gives notice to all sugar re-packaging entities that they are required to register with the Board.
“The registration process is intended to enhance traceability of sugar products, strengthen monitoring and enforcement of sugar-quality standards, and safeguard consumer interests,” the notice read.
In a bid to streamline compliance, the agency outlined a mandatory online registration process for all entities engaged in the re-pack-aging of sugar.
“Accordingly, all persons, companies or organizations engaged in the re-packaging of sugar for retail sale (hereafter ‘sugar re-packers’) must submit their applications online via the Kenya Sugar Board’s Integrated Management Information System (IMIS) portal at https://imis.ksb.go.ke/,” the notice added.
Through the IMIS portal, applicants must provide all required documents, as prescribed in the Regulations, to complete registration.
“The application must be accompanied by all relevant supporting documents as prescribed in the Regulations and any guidance issued by the Board. All sugar re-packagers are therefore notified to submit their application on or before 17th November 2025,” the notice concluded.
