President Bola Tinubu has ordered temporary ban on export of raw shea nuts, with immediate effect.
The President also said the move will boost processor utilization, capture higher export value and stabilize the sector.
He added that it is specifically aimed at boosting Nigeria’s shea value chain to generate around $300 million annually in the short term.
Minister of Agriculture and Food Security, Sen. Abubakar Kyari, made this known at the presidential villa, Abuja, on Tuesday.
