Shea Industry - A means of poverty reduction in Ghana

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The aim of this work is to analyze the problems of the production process and trade in the shea chain in Ghana so as to facilitate and improve the activities of those engaged in the business, policy making or research in the shea sector. The shea tree (Vitellaria paradoxa) is indigenous to Sub-Saharan region of Africa and crucial to savanna ecosystems and peoples. Shea fruits are mainly collected, sold or processed into multipurpose butter. The demand for shea butter, a substitute to cocoa butter is rapidly growing in global trade of raw materials for the food and cosmetic industries. This is an opportunity to boost income to the rural women. In this article we therefore look at the role of shea nut as a source of income in the northern part of Ghana,West Africa's second largest shea exporter. We focused on the collection of shea fruits from the forest, process of preparation of shea butter and the marketing of the end product and the constraints faced in the industry are discussed. F
