1. You have no specific Shea Butter plant In West
Africa while the Shea Tree grows only in West
and lesser extent in Central Africa and nowhere
else in the world. The difficulties of processing
the Shea Nuts into the Shea Butter in Europe,
North and South America or Asia is the
transport costs. To produce 1 kg of the Shea
Butter, you need 2.2 kg of Shea Nuts, so as you
understand it is much cheaper to produce Shea
Butter in West Africa, the staff cost here is also
much lower.
