The storage room of the Norntoma Women’s Cooperative is filling up with 85kg jute sacks of dried shea nuts harvested this season from the tall, grassy Ghanaian savannah, just as the motor of the grinding mill kicks into action at the cooperative center for the first time. The women, who up until last year, ground the shea by hand will now use the grinding mill to reduce time, labor and losses in the processing of the shea butter; While the grinding mill may seem like the biggest success of the season, what is really impressive is the women’s new found ability to save nuts.
