Access to Global Markets – Selling Bulk Shea Butter
Access to global markets is considered a key component of the project, as it ensures that women’s groups are not simply components of a revolutionised shea butter sector in Burkina Faso, but a major beneficiary.
International Demand for Shea Butter in the Food & Personal Care Industries
International demand for shea butter continues to rise dramatically given the pressures on the availability of cocoa butter, (shea butter is a replacement for cocoa butter, CBR, CBE etc) and the desire to find truly sustainable sources of vegetable fats for the food industry. Additionally, the growing demand for high performance ingredients for natural and organic skincare puts the newly organised Burkina Faso shea sector centre stage.

In addition, the women’s groups will have an equity share in the business and as such will receive further benefits from the overall profits after the shea butter is exported.
