what is the current price of shea butter per metric ton in nigeria
The current public market data I found does not show a reliable live wholesale price for shea butter in Nigeria right now. One market overview notes no active price entries for Nigeria, but sampled export transactions suggest roughly 1.32 to 4.40 USD per kg , which works out to about 1,320 to 4,400 USD per metric ton. Another source states there is currently no price data available for Nigerian shea butter on its pricing page.
What that means
- Best available benchmark: about 1,320 to 4,400 USD/metric ton from recent export transactions.
- No confirmed live farmgate/wholesale quote: the pricing page I found says it has no current price data for Nigeria.
- Context: these figures are transaction samples, so the actual price can vary by grade, refinement, packaging, and buyer terms.
Practical reading
If you need a working estimate for planning, a mid-range figure around 2,000 to 3,500 USD per metric ton is a reasonable rough proxy based on the sampled transaction spread. For procurement or export negotiations, use the exact specification first, because shea butter pricing can move a lot by quality and contract terms.
