  • How many argan oil cooperatives are there in Morocco?
  • The Office de Development et de la Cooperation (ODCO), (2021) reports 655 registered argan cooperatives, representing 86% of argan oil production in the country, while the total number of cooperatives throughout Morocco reached 47 609.
  • Does specialized cultivation outside Morocco affect the economic value of argan oil?
  • It is important to highlight that the success of specialized cultivation outside Morocco might affect the exclusive and traditional status, and consequently the economic value of the “real” Moroccan argan oil with negative impact on local farmers and cooperatives incomes (Achten et al. 2014).
  • How do women extract oil from argan kernels?
  • Women traditionally extract oil from the argan kernels primarily for culinary purposes. Groups of women collect the nuts, which are then cracked between two stones so that the kernels can be ground into a pulp and put into a mill to extract the oil that men typically sell in the market (souk).
  • What percentage of argan oil is shipped through the GIE?
  • Shipping transiting through the GIE represents 1% of argan oil activities in Morocco (L’Oréal Canada, n.d.). In addition to PPP, various institutions are involved in the argan oil industry.
