In recent times, there has been an increasing commercialization of the shea butter industry, due to the growing demand for shea butter by pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries (ADROIT Market Research 2019; GEPA 2019). In northern Ghana, several interventions have targeted poverty among rural women by focusing on the shea butter industry (Kent 2018; Laube 2015; Warra 2011). Indeed, northern Ghana, which is the poorest region in the country (GSS 2017), is also the major shea butter producing area (GEPA 2019; Kent 2018). Women dominate Ghana’s shea butter industry and play crucial roles along the shea butter value chain.
