1. Presentation on 40th Sugar Industry Strategic Plan Review meeting 02nd & 03rd March 2017

2. TRANSMARA JOURNEY
Started in 2011 with the crushing capacity of 1250 TCD
In June Crushing capacity increased from 1250 to 2000 TCD
In Nov Expansion of the factory done and capacity increased from 2000 TCD to 4000 TCD.
Achieved highest recovery and TC/TS in the region year on year since its inception.

The supply of cane was interrupted in the 2nd quarter due to factory maintenance
There were cases of cane fire which also affected the harvesting program.
The average harvesting ages was brought down to 20 months from months

1. The reason of good recovery (TC/TS) in the 1st & 2nd quarter was due to available matured cane having high pol varieties like D 8484, KEN
2. Minimization of factory losses also contributed greatly to the good recovery.

Farmers continued with self development out of appreciation of timely payments and intensive extension services undertaken during the period.
The prevailing weather also catalyzed the continuous development.
Currently registration and contracting is continuing in the new region of Kisii & Migori to increase area under cane.

1. The pc:ratoon ratio has changed in favour of ratoons. Emphasis has shifted to ratoon maintenance in order to sustain the current good yields. Farmers are being encouraged to embrace ratoon cane maintenance since it has higher returns with low cost of input.
2. Efforts to attain the ideal ratio are underway through continuous robust cane development program like company is providing support system to farmers in terms of fertilizer for planting, providing seed cane and contracting land preparation.

We still enjoyed the good growers yield , however efforts are being made to ensure the yield is sustained through introduction of cheap farm level initiatives geared towards productivity improvement like trash blanketing , timely fertilizer application, good husbandry practices.

1. Transmara still remained with the growers at heart by complaint to the industry requirement of timely payment to the farmers and price well above the industry norms.
2. We are paying our farmers after one week of delivery of cane on weekly basis.

13. SOCIO – ECONOMIC (FARM ENTERPRISE DIVERSIFICATION)
Measure
Indicator
Target
Actual
Farm Enterprise Diversification
Ratio of area under cane to other enterprises
1:3
Farmers are encouraged through intensive extension services like Barraza's , farm visits and demos to sustain the ratio.
Farmers are encouraged to do the diversification to take advantage of the existing opportunities.

14. AREA OF CONCERN
Unavailability of government subsidized fertilizer scheme.
We have the issue of cane poaching by other millers like Sukhari
There is issue of illegal jaggeries who are also poaching our cane
Cane supply at the mill is affected by these poaching and illegal jaggeries within the out growers.
Sugar Directorate to endeavour to push for compliance of sugar regulation to bring sanity in the industry, because of lack of regulations there is no legal area assigned for the factories to operate.
Zoning to be done for entrepreneur to invest in cane development.
The sugar directorate should strive to bring back the sugar development levy which has been scraped since early last year.
