The shea tree commonly grows wild in the equatorial belt of central Africa between Gambia and Sudan and also in Uganda.
The oil extracted has a relatively high melting point and is used in rural areas in the making of foods, soap manufacture and cosmetics. Shea is mainly exported as Kernels and can be used as an extender in chocolate as its properties are similar to cocoa butter.
Most small-scale processing to extract the oil is carried out by women and provides an important source of income.
