Abstract

The aim of this paper was to examine the contribution of Kagera Sugar Limited (KSL) to sugar production in Tanzania using a descriptive approach. The findings reveal that the company has contributed well to increasing sugar production in the country. KSL is the third sugar producing company in the country after Kilombero Sugar Company and Tanganyika Plating Company. Its sugar production was about 50,207 MT in 2014 with a market share of about 17.05%. The paper concludes that the issue of sugar gap in the sugar industry in Tanzania could be addressed through an understanding of the ‘political logic of scarcity’ to avoid corruption. Without drastic measures on productive investments, the scarcity in sugar production cannot be overcome, and corruption is likely to continue.
