Abstract :
The sugar industry In Kenya plays an
important role in bettering farmers’ and citizens’ living
standards in the growing region and the general
development of the country’s economy. The sector
continues to face endless supply chain risks and
disruptions which consequently affect. Existing literature
has hardly focused on the association between supply
chain resilience and firm performance in the sugar sector.
To bridge this gap, this research sought to examine the
influence of knowledge management, contingency
planning and supply chain visibility on the performance
of sugar-producing firms in Kenya. The research was
anchored on Resource Based View, Relational Views,
Contingency and System theories. The research used a
descriptive research design and targeted all 12 sugar-
producing firms in the country. Primary data was
collected using open and closed ended questionnaires.
Data was analyzed descriptively and inferentially. The
research’s outcomes demonstrated that knowledge
management, supply chain collaboration, contingency
planning, and supply chain visibility all have significant
effect on performance of sugar-producing firms in Kenya.
