It is reported that Ghana will establish an agency specializing in the shea industry.Mr Zakaria Iddi, National Coordinator of Shea Network Ghana (SNG), made the call during the launch of the 12th annual International Shea Conference in Tamale.

This year's conference being hosted and jointly organised by the Global Shea Alliance (GSA) and SNG with support from the EXIM Bank Ghana from March 11 to March 13 in Accra, will bring together all business associates and shea interest'groups around the world to share latest information about the sector.

The event, which is on the theme: "Unveiling the Value of Shea", will also offer opportunities for showcasing recent products and technologies in shea as well as create the platform to network and connect stakeholders in the shea value chain.

Shea is a major commodity found in the northern parts of the country and parts of Brong Ahafo and Oti Regions where many of the residents engage in the value chain from picking through processing to generate income to take care of their families.

However, the absence of a governing authority such as the Shea Board left the industry unregulated, a situation which, affected the fortunes of the industry.
