31 Jan 2024 --- The multi-billion dollar shea industry remains a crucial focus for West Africa and the rest of the world, with industry, government bodies and NGOs such as the Global Shea Alliance (GSA) working to improve the sector with an eye to sustainability and policies to protect workers — predominantly women in West Africa. In March, GSA will hold its Shea 2024 conference in Nigeria under the theme, “Bridging the Gap.” It will focus on “closing the divide between the visionary goals of the shea industry and the urgent need for practical action.”
