Solidity Trade chooses Ecocert as an organic certification partner for the unrefined shea butter

National Organic Program - United States Department of Agriculture

Solidity Trade has recently met the representatives of ECOCERT in France to discuss the opportunity of working together in Ghana to certify that the production of unrefined shea butter in the Shea Butter Village is 100% organic.

Solidity Trade will fully finance the organic certification of the Shea Butter Village in order to comply with the National Organic Program from the United States Department of Agriculture. This label will show the effort of Solidity Trade to support organic agriculture as there is an increasingly demand for organic unrefined shea butter in the US market as well as in the rest of the world. This market-oriented approach in the long run will bring new market opportunities and create more jobs for the women at the Shea Butter Village.
