    All Protocol Observed

    Welcome to edition 256 of The Continent

    Nigeria bans exports of shea nuts – and creates a subsidy that profits everyone except its own farmers.

    The cover of The Continent shows several women processing shea nuts beneath a large, leafy tree in the Nigerian countryside. One woman bends over a patch of reddish earth, gathering the nuts, while others sort them into bowls and sacks. Nearby, two women operate a blue, wheeled shea-processing machine. The scene is bright and green, with open fields stretching into the distance beneath a blue, cloud-streaked sky. The ground beneath the women is shown in cross-section, revealing a deep layer of dark soil filled with clusters of small, orange-brown nuts. In the upper right corner, the headline reads: “Nigeria’s great shea leak.”
