flag Nigeria extends raw shea nut export ban until Feb. 25, 2027, to boost local processing and incomes.

flag Nigeria has extended its ban on raw shea nut exports for one year, through February 25, 2027, to boost domestic processing and increase value added to the shea industry. flag The policy, part of the Renewed Hope Agenda, aims to support local manufacturing, improve rural incomes, and enhance Nigeria’s role in global agricultural trade. flag All raw shea nut exports must now go through the Nigerian Commodity Exchange, and a Livelihood Finance Mechanism will be funded to strengthen production and processing. flag The move follows gains in domestic processing and export of shea butter, which commands significantly higher prices than raw nuts.
