Ghana Shea Cooperatives & Processors Network (GSCP-Net) has called on the government to ban the exportation of raw shea nuts in the country to save thousands of jobs at risk.
The network said in recent years, tonnes of raw shea nuts are exported out of the country, draining the true value of the product and denying many rural women the benefits.
A ban on shea nuts, according to them will not only save jobs but help to build the local shea industry to transform the lives of women and youth in the industry. "The shea nut is more than a product.
It is "women's gold", a lifeline for thousands of hardworking women across the north.
