Tradeline Consult proudly participated in the Shea 2025 Conference, a flagship event organized by the Global Shea Alliance, held from May 19 to May 21, 2025, in Cotonou, Benin. Representing Tradeline at the conference was Mohammed Sani Mohammed, Access to Finance Lead in Northern Ghana.

The Shea Conference is a premier gathering of industry stakeholders, development partners, women’s groups, and private sector actors who are passionate about the growth and sustainability of the shea industry. This year’s theme focused on sustainability, value addition, and inclusive growth, with a strong emphasis on women’s empowerment, recognizing their central role in the shea value chain.

Tradeline Consult’s participation in this important forum reflects our enduring commitment to fostering inclusive agribusiness ecosystems across West Africa. The event offered a rich platform for engagement in strategic networking sessions and collaborative working groups, allowing Tradeline to connect with key actors in the value chain, development partners, and government representatives from across the region.

The insights and connections gained at Shea 2025 will enrich Tradeline’s work, especially as we continue to advocate for sustainable agriculture, inclusive financing, and the empowerment of women in agribusiness.
