ARGANA Amskroud Women’s Cooperative, founded in 2012 by 40 committed women, is an agricultural initiative based in Amskroud, near Agadir, Morocco. The cooperative focuses on artisanal argan oil production, while also promoting the region’s natural resources and Morocco’s cultural heritage.
Its mission is clear: to empower rural women both economically and socially. Members benefit from a stable income, hands-on technical training, and a supportive work environment. Moreover, the cooperative encourages intergenerational knowledge-sharing. Women learn to harvest argan nuts, cold-press them, and extract high-quality, eco-friendly oil using traditional methods.
Thanks to its 100% natural, handcrafted argan oil—prized for both cosmetic and nutritional uses—ARGANA Amskroud Women’s Cooperative is now a model of sustainable development. It often participates in local and international fairs. These events help raise awareness about solidarity-based economies and attract visitors, researchers, and global partners.
By supporting the cooperative, you help advance rural women, preserve ancestral skills, and promote sustainable Moroccan argan oil. As a result, ARGANA Amskroud inspires similar initiatives and reflects Morocco’s growing focus on inclusive rural growth.
