International Day of the Argan Tree: Celebrating Morocco’s Liquid Gold
The International Day of the Argan Tree is celebrated every year on May 10th, recognizing the cultural, environmental, and economic importance of the argan tree in Morocco. Declared by UNESCO and the United Nations, this day highlights the global value of the Argania spinosa tree, known as the source of argan oil, often called “liquid gold.”
Why is the International Day of the Argan Tree Important?
The International Day of the Argan Tree raises awareness about the need to preserve this unique tree, which grows only in Morocco. Beyond its ecological role in protecting soil and fighting desertification, the argan tree supports thousands of women working in cooperatives dedicated to producing argan oil.
Argan Oil: Morocco’s Global Treasure
From cosmetics to culinary uses, argan oil has gained international fame for its richness in vitamin E, antioxidants, and fatty acids. The International Day of the Argan Tree is also a celebration of the traditional knowledge passed down for generations, linking Moroccan culture to modern global markets.
Economic and Cultural Impact
The argan tree plays a vital role in rural Moroccan communities. Women-led cooperatives produce high-quality argan oil that is exported worldwide. This not only empowers local women but also preserves Morocco’s cultural heritage.
