In addition to growing sugarcane on its own estate, KSL also buys sugarcane from over 10,000 outgrower farmers, who cultivate cane on 25,000 hectares of their own land. About 60-65% of the sugarcane milled is purchased from the outgrower farmers. KSL invests heavily in farmer development to ensure that our partners in production can get their cane to the factory. We provide them facilities such as cash advances, seed cane, agro-chemicals and training, in addition to land development. KSL also maintains several kilometres of roads in the outgrower area to enable the farmers move their cane safely.
