The International Day of Argania is celebrated on May 10, 2025. Proclaimed by the United Nations in 2021, the day annually underscores the ecological and economic importance of the argan tree, which thrives in Morocco and is vital for biodiversity. Argan oil, derived from the tree, is renowned for its use in gastronomy, cosmetics, and medicine.
The International Day of Argania calls for the sustainable management of argan ecosystems and highlights the tree’s cultural significance to local communities, particularly women involved in its production.
