Shea Processing Business in Benin, GDIZ: Key Advantages For Investors

Benin's Strength in Shea Production: Benin ranks as the 6th largest producer of shea nuts in Africa, boasting a vast shea park stretching across several regions. This ensures a readily available and consistent supply of raw materials for processing facilities within GDIZ.
