Argan oil cooperatives in Morocco, commonly referred to as *Argan Cooperatives*, are typically women-led initiatives that help support local communities by producing and selling argan oil and other argan products. These cooperatives focus on ethical and sustainable harvesting and production methods, preserving the traditional way of extracting argan oil.
When you visit an argan cooperative, you can typically witness the process of extracting oil from argan nuts, learn about the different products made from argan (such as oils, soaps, and cosmetics), and purchase products directly. Many visitors find this to be a meaningful cultural experience as it highlights both the economic importance of argan oil and its role in supporting rural women in Morocco.
