Shea Nut Pickers and Market Access

Propcom Mai-karfi’s partnership with SALID Nigeria Limited has provided a ready market for women shea nut pickers in Niger and Kwara states, and built their capacities on kernel processing. A sub-sector dominated by women, Propcom Mai-karfi is intervening here for its potential for growth and the opportunity which it holds for women’s economic empowerment. In 2015, over a thousand women sold their shea kernels to SALID and increased their shea business revenue by an average of 39%.
