The increasing demand for white sesame seeds in international markets such as South Korea, China, Japan, and India presents a lucrative opportunity for West African farmers and agribusiness stakeholders. To seize this opportunity and maximize export potential, agribusiness firms and agricultural cooperatives can adopt the following strategies:

At Sahel Agri-Sol, we proudly bring you the finest shea nuts from Mali, Togo, Niger, and Burkina Faso.

Cocoa is far more than the key ingredient in chocolate; it is a source of untapped economic potential that could revolutionize industries beyond confectionery. As the world’s largest cocoa producer, Ivory Coast, alongside other West African nations such as Ghana, Nigeria, and Cameroon, stands at the crossroads of an opportunity to maximize the value of cocoa by-products. These materials, currently considered waste in many cases, could create entirely new industries in food, cosmetics, and beyond. However, to fully unlock this potential, it will require a unified effort from global investors, local entrepreneurs, governments, and innovators willing to share their knowledge and experience.

West and East Africa’s fertile and diverse landscapes offer ideal conditions for producing a wide range of fresh fruits with immense export potential. By capitalizing on this agricultural strength, cooperatives in these regions have the chance to access lucrative global markets, fostering economic growth, sustainable development, and greater prosperity for their communities. To make this vision a reality, understanding the export landscape, ensuring consistent production, and building a value chain that prioritizes quality and reliability are crucial.
