Marjana Cooperative HQ Production Site
Société Coopérative Agricole Marjana stands as one of Morocco’s pioneering women-led cooperatives dedicated to the preservation, extraction, and promotion of authentic argan oil. Rooted in the Arganeraie Biosphere Reserve, the cooperative brings together local craft, agricultural heritage, and modern quality standards to produce oils renowned for their purity. Every stage, from hand-cracking the kernels to cold pressing, reflects generational expertise and a commitment to sustainable rural development.
The cooperative places strong emphasis on empowering women producers across the Souss-Massa region. Through fair wages, stable employment, and access to training, Marjana offers an economic backbone for communities whose livelihoods depend on the argan forests. This balance between social purpose and product excellence has made the cooperative a respected reference point in Morocco’s natural oil sector.
Its product range spans cosmetic-grade organic argan oil, gourmet food-grade oils, and derived personal care formulas. All materials are processed using low-energy methods that maintain the oil’s natural antioxidants and nutrients, ensuring consistent quality for both local and international buyers. Certifications such as organic agriculture and COSMOS standards reinforce the cooperative’s adherence to rigorous industry benchmarks.
Beyond production, Marjana participates in broader conservation efforts to protect the argan ecosystem. By encouraging responsible harvesting, supporting reforestation initiatives, and maintaining transparent sourcing practices, the cooperative contributes to long-term ecological resilience. Its work demonstrates how traditional Moroccan craftsmanship can coexist with modern sustainability demands while strengthening regional communities.
