Argan Oil Cooperatives

Argan oil cooperatives in the Ourika Valley demonstrate the traditional process of producing argan oil, one of Morocco’s most valued natural products. These cooperatives are often run by local women. Visitors can observe each step of the process, from cracking argan nuts to grinding and extracting the oil. The experience provides insight into sustainable production and community-based work. For travelers, visiting an argan oil cooperative is both educational and supportive of local livelihoods.
