"WE ARE A FAMILY OF PHARMACISTS AND BIOLOGISTS." We were born and raised in Agadir, a city in southwestern Morocco in the center of argan trees forests. The four of us are graduates of the Universit Libre De Bruxelles. Recently, we returned to our hometown to improve the value of Argan oil in our region of Souss and promote local womens cooperatives that produce it. We achieve that by bringing back our scientific and technical expertise gained in Europe while enjoying a network of acquaintances that we and our family have built here since centuries. Our goal is to become the reference in raw material sourcing by marketing Argan oil worldwide with quality standards, ethics and professionalism that international markets require today. we wanted to tackle three main issues that are unfortunately still too widespread in Morocco : 1) Oil Quality : too many small cooperative produce the oil totally traditionally, and ship oil without no controls or analysis. 2) Oil availability and sustainability on the long term : after a dry year, the argan trees dont give as many fruits as usual, so many cooperatives run quickly out of stock, or in the best case scenario, the argan oil price rises too much. 3) Scalability : many small cooperatives are good with small quantities, but as soon as their clients business grows and asks for higher volumes, they fail to satisfy the demand due to their limited production capacity. "WE ARE MEMBERS OF THE LARGEST COOPERATIVE NETWORK IN THE COUNTRY" so this is how we tackled each issue : Oil quality : We are fortunate enough to be in a family of scientists, pharmacists and biologists with our own laboratories and pharmacy. So weve got the systematic oil analysis part covered. We make sure every batch produced is meeting our high quality standards by conducting analysis at the laboratories, but also at an independent government laboratory from the Ministry of Health and Food called lONSSA.
