NEPC set to boost export of Shea butter

Details: Written by Abdullateef Abubakar Jos

Osibo said that the cultivation of the crop was capable of reducing poverty in Africa,

especially among women.

Besides, she said that the aim was to provide raw material for food and cosmetic

industries.

According to her, the Sixth Annual Conference on the Global Shea Alliance, to be organised

by the council in Abuja, between March 4 and March 6, is to address the cultivation of the

crop.

``More than 15 million women across West Africa participate directly in the Shea industry.

“Millions collect Shea nuts across the savannah area-- stretching from Senegal to Uganda

and South Sudan.

The conference will address the economic, social and environmental aspects of Shea,” she

said.
