National shea fair: the sector in the spotlight in Abidjan

The National Shea Fair will be held on October 13 and 14, 2026 at the Sofitel Ivoire hotel in Abidjan. For two days, this meeting will bring together all the players in a promising sector (producers, cooperatives, processors, industrialists, investors, public institutions and technical and financial partners). At the heart of the rural economy, particularly in the north of the country, shea occupies an essential place. It generates income for many women and contributes to the preservation of community livelihoods. This show intends to promote this potential and encourage local processing, a source of added value and jobs. On the program: product exhibitions, thematic conferences, professional exchanges and business meetings. These highlights will make it possible to address issues of quality, standardization, financing, marketing and access to national and international markets. The National Shea Show aims to be a space for dialogue, visibility and partnerships.
