Sustainable production of shea butter & stearin
Since 2013, Fuji Oil has been vertically integrated into the shea business by the acquisition of International Oils & Fats (IOF) in Ghana. Fuji Oil Ghana is specialized in the fractionation of shea butter.
Fuji Oil Europe provides sustainable cocoa butter equivalents (CBE), based on sustainable shea stearin and palm oil fractions.
We focus on creating maximum value in Africa by local purchasing, crushing and fractionation, as well as maximum traceability & minimum carbon footprint. This approach is outlined in our Shea Value Chain. Click to discover more about our Shea Value Chain.
