Activity Description: Under the Novella Project, Unilever encouragers North African farmers to harvest the oil seeds grown on Allanblackia trees. Unilever promises the farmers that it will buy the oil seeds. Unilever will use them to improve the manufacture of its products. Until recently, most North African farmers had not realized the potential market for Allanblackia oil seeds, an abundant natural resource in Africa's tropical forests.
