International Day of Argania

May 10, Saturday

International Argan Day is a holiday celebrated on May 10th in recognition of the importance of the argan tree and its oil, which plays a significant role in people's lives, especially in Morocco and other North African countries. The holiday was established to raise awareness of the benefits of argan oil, its sustainable use and support for the argan forest ecosystem.

The argan tree (Argania spinosa) grows mainly in Morocco and its fruits are used to produce argan oil, which has unique nutritional and cosmetic properties. Argan oil has become popular around the world due to its antioxidant, moisturizing and rejuvenating properties. It is used in the cosmetic and food industries.

Argan forests are an important part of the ecosystem in Morocco and their conservation is important not only for agriculture but also to combat desertification and soil degradation in the region. The argan tree is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
