West Africa produces 600,000 MT of Shea nut traded annually according to Global Shea Alliance. Nigeria accounts for over forty (40) percent of nuts traded.
There is a need to further boost the production of Shea nut and butter for export so as to boost wealth creation and job creation nationwide in the Shea nut producing zones in Africa.
The need to harness Shea export commodity to create 500,000 jobs for youth and women in Nigeria will be a laudable initiative of providing jobs and addressing poverty, which will go a long way in increasing revenue generation in the Shea producing zones and projecting Nigeria among the largest exporters of Shea nuts and butter in West Africa and the world.
This process will reduce youth restiveness, create international market participation and the platform will provide easy access for other commodities that are widely consumed globally, which will be of great value to the Shea producing zones as the value chain will evolve and government stand a dual chance of benefiting from it by addressing the problem of unemployment to a very large extent, revenue generation and attraction of foreign investors and improving the quality of life of host communities.

To create 5,000,000 jobs from Shea trees producing zones in Africa by processing all the available nuts using ARATIShea Shea nut drying machine for production.
Nut Collection: Will engage the youth in nut picking for purchase in Kg/ton and earn money for based on the quantity they make available.
General Collection: The general collection point weighs the nut picked and pay base on quantity.
Processing/Storage: Each machine designed and developed (see below) will produce
minimum (20 metric ton weekly) dried Shea nut. Women and youth will be engaged in the processing of the nut with the capacity of 240 Metric Ton yearly (minimum).
Packaging/Branding: Packaging the Shea nut and butter with international standard for
export and local consumption.

The importance of local knowledge to Manage the Shea waste cake for reuse and sustainability:
Soil fertility is declining in many parts of sub-Saharan Africa in the Shea tree production zones.
One of the major constraints to Shea tree domestication is the inadequate supply of soil nutrients.
The use of mineral fertilisers is declining as they are increasingly beyond the means of most small-scale farmers and soil degradation affect soil health.
Erosion and severe run-off are further depleting existing soil nutrient reserves, while levels of soil organic matter are declining as land is subject to over-use.
The application of environmental biotechnology ( OBD-Plus microbes Patent) to Shea cake waste conversion to Biofertilizer with improve soil conversation and enhance domestication of the Shea tree.
ARATIShea Limited and University of Developmental Studies , Tamale , Ghana is collaboration for the domestication of the Shea trees in Ghana.

Shea nut tree and its ecological services has been an economic and social force across Africa for millennia. The impacts are felt from villages throughout the world. Karite Research Group (KRG) think tank objectives: to improve the value chain of the Shea nut tree and its ecological services to the world (visit our website www.aratishea.com The sub-units of Karite Research Group are:
Shea nut tree domestication
Ecological services
Cosmetics and manufacturing
Conservation and Environment
Business development
Nutrition/nutraceutical.
Our focus is multi-disciplinary, research-to-product (R2P) with diversification of funding sources using foundations, corporations, and individuals.
We believe that this approach gives freedom in setting research agendas, a prime concern for KRG metamorphoses into ARATIShea institute. Agenda setting within the KRG think tank is driven by research questions at the lowest level (researches play large role); knowledge building is the prime determinate in what research is chosen.
We attempt to be ideologically neutral and perceive research as being for the benefit of humankind as a whole. The above sub-unit will require interested academics and professional to apply in order to collaborate and coordinates each unit with research agenda cum chose their team leader based on the person contribution to knowledge and development of the subject domain.
Finally, findings will be published as ARATIShea Journal in English and French language respectively.
