Argan Update: December 2022

By Katie Bercegeay | Director of External Relations

During 2022, the High Atlas Foundation (HAF) with FRÉ Skincare planted a total of 3,780 Argan trees with local communities in four provinces of Morocco: Taroudant, Al Haouz, Rhamna, and Azilal.

Currently, 47,000 Argan trees are growing in community fruit tree nurseries supported and managed by HAF.

HAF’s goal is to plant all 47,000 by the end of March 2023, primarily with local women’s cooperatives in the Safi, Essaouira, Taroudant and Guelmim provinces.

7,000 will be planted with a local association in the Taroudant province,
6,300 will be planted in the Safi province,
2,120 will be planted in the Essaouira, Youssoufia, Rhamna, and Sidi Benour provinces, and the remaining trees will be planted with local cooperatives and associations throughout the planting season as per their requests that are anticipated in the coming weeks.
