Shea Network - Ghana

Great Opportunity for our MPs (Hojourable Haruna, Anta, Tampuli, Habib, Rashid Pelpou, Isaac Adongo, Atta Issah, Suhiyini, Hamza, etc) in the Shea Zone to send women from their constituencies to witness how shea is handled as source of income across the world and strike deals to sell and grow their businesses.

Shea Network Ghana paticipated in the three-day National Market Actor's Forum held at Mordern City inTamale from 24th to 26th March 2026. This forum was organised by World Vision Ghana under the THRIVE Africa Project. The event brought together large number of actors in the agriculture value chain from farmers, farmer-based organizarions, policy makers, processors, entrepreneurs, researchers, traders, marketers and women-small scale-business owners. In today's B2B sessions, Shea Network Ghana's discussion centred around connecting our members to Fair trade opportunities. The THRIVE project manager was tasked to enaure SNG members are introduced to Fair Trade opporrunities to enhance certification of their goods for better sales.

Today, Tuesday 17 March 2026 was for the launch of the Global Shea Alliance and Shea Network Ghana International Shea 2026 Expo. The event received goodwill mesaages from the NDA, GEPA, TCDA, UDS and the 24 hour economy office. Also in attendance were three paramount chiefs from Tolon, Zugu and Yaape. Dr. A. B.T. Zakari and Professor Yakubu were there in person for Yaape and Zugu respectively and the Tolon Naa was
represented by four of his sub-chiefs. The Northeast and Northern regional ministers graced the occation. The northern regional minister delivered the key note address and launched the shea expo 2026 with the theme dubbed 'Beyond Boarders'. The main theme running through the messages was that, the developmwnt and growth of shea was a collective effort and all hands were needed on deck to move the shea agenda forward. Therefore the organizers were pleased of the asurances of support and hope they will translate into something concrete for the main event scheduled for between 27- 29th April 2026 in Accra at the Accra International conference centre.
