Nigeria produces over 50% of the world’s shea nuts, yet less than 10% is processed locally. This creates both a challenge and an opportunity for global buyers looking for reliable supply sources.
- Nigeria’s shea belt spans 20+ states, ensuring consistent availability.
- Export markets are growing in India, the EU, and the US.
- Investments in RBD refining mean buyers will soon be able to source fully processed butter directly from Nigeria.
For buyers seeking long-term supply security, Nigeria remains the most strategic shea origin worldwide. Partnering directly with Nigerian exporters like us ensures traceability, fair pricing, and supply stability.
