Our Shea Nut

At AI Food & Agro Products, we are proud to be a trusted exporter of high-quality sheanuts sourced from the heart of Africa.

Known as a vital raw material in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food industries, sheanuts are the seeds of the Vitellaria paradoxa tree, native to the African savannah belt.

With their high oil content and rich composition of vitamins and fatty acids, sheanuts are primarily used to produce shea butter—a globally valued ingredient for skincare, haircare, and medicinal applications.

Our sourcing is focused on regions with the highest-quality yields, including Nigeria, Ghana, Burkina Faso, and Mali.

Our Shea nut Offering

We export both raw dried sheanuts and supply semi-processed shea kernels, depending on client needs.

Our sheanuts are collected, cleaned, sun-dried, and sorted by skilled local producers and cooperatives who follow traditional methods that preserve the natural properties of the nut while ensuring export-grade quality.
