Nigeria recently imposed a six-month ban on raw shea nut exports to stimulate local processing and boost its share of the global shea products market—from just 1% today toward billions in added value by 2027.
Why it matters
This policy is a bold economic reform aimed at industrializing Nigeria’s agricultural exports. It invites debate on infrastructure, investment, and Nigeria’s broader free-market trajectory.
Suggested discussion prompts:
Is pro‑value‑addition the right approach—or is it risky without supporting infrastructure?
Can local investors rise to the challenge—and will it translate to job creation?
How might this move reshape Nigeria’s place in the global shea butter industry?
