Shea Nut Trees are grown in
West, Central, East Africa -West Nile region and Southern Sudan. Hence this
area is known as ‘ Shea Belt’. There are two main varieties of Shea Nut
called Vitellaria Paradoxa and Vitellaria Nilotica. Vitellaria Paradoxa is
produced in West Africa where as Vitellaria Nilotica is produced only in
Northern Uganda and Southern Sudan. Unfortunately these areas (Northern
Uganda and Southern Sudan), both are currently states of civil unrest and so
generally this variety is not available in the market.
However Guru Nanak Oil Mills is based in Lira
and has advantages and access to get these rare species from the Northern
part of Uganda. Guru Nanak Oil Mills has promoted and supported the Shea
butter production in Uganda.Guru Nanak Oil Mills pays cash for the Shea nuts
brought for sale by the local community,enhancing the local economy.Guru
Nanak Oil Mills also educates and encourages the tribal folk to protect this
rare species of trees - “The Green Gift from GOD to mankind”. Where as in
past there was no buyers of seeds and Shea butter was produced by crude
methods by rural women.This resulted in very poor quality and high cost of
production, making it unacceptable by foreign markets. But Guru Nanak Oil
Mills has latest machinery and technology for production of Shea butter and
is strategically located near the source of raw materials ie.in the heart of
“Shea Belt”.
