English-Spanish translations for shea

• karité
  La manteca de karité vale una tercera parte del precio de la manteca de cacao y el del aceite de palma es diez veces más bajo. Shea butter costs a third of the price of cocoa butter and palm oil butter is ten times cheaper.
  Basta con que el producto se denomine "karitelate" si es karité, "sojalate" si es soja, pero no "chocolate" . All you have to do is call the product 'shea-late' if it is made from shea nuts, or 'soya-late' if it is made from soya, but not 'chocolate' .
  No hemos de olvidar que las semillas de karité constituyen una base de subsistencia igual de importante para los países que las exportan como el cacao para los países exportadores de cacao. We must not forget that shea nuts are just as essential to the countries which export them as cocoa is to the cocoa-exporting countries.
