Very interesting. I had no idea the Shea butter from East Africa had different properties. This is good to know and it also makes sourcing it easier for those of us in SADC. Nairobi is so much closer than Accra, Lagos, Dakar etc
ReplyDeleteTrue Makusa, the East African Shea Butter is a bit different from the West African one, I believe it has to do with climate and soils used. And yes East Africa is closer to SADC, looking forward to working with you soon.
ReplyDeleteNice one, Toto. Congrats and many great successes!
