About Be Shea
PRESENTATION
Based in the north of Ivory Coast, precisely in Korhogo, Be Shea is a company, which provides
to the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries of agricultural raw materials thanks to our partner cooperatives.
We export shea almonds and 100% natural shea butter all over the world.
OUR ECONOMIC CONCEPT
We collaborate with cooperatives of women from precarious social backgrounds who collect shea nuts and produce artisanal shea butter.
Our vocation is to take an active part in the empowerment of women in Ivory Coast by integrating our producers into the value chain according to international criteria.
Our commitment is to improve their living conditions and create wealth by reducing intermediaries between international industries and our producers so that they benefit from the fruit of their hard work.
