Industrial Activities

There are limited industrial activities. Agro- processing constitutes the main industrial activities in the Municipality and includes sheanut processing, Groundnuts processing, Cotton ginnery, and Rice Processing. With the exception of Shebu Industry that uses modern technology to process sheanut on a large scale for export, traditional small scale methods dominate agro-processing in the Municipality. These small scale activities are a major employer of women. Assistance from organisations such as UNICEF and Canada Fund for local initiative (CFLI), WVG, ITTU and VIP have improved some traditional methods such as sheanut and groundnut processing.
