Sorèze - King's Advisor and chairman of the Mohammed VI Foundation for Research and the Protection of Argan Trees, André Azoulay, has recently called for an ethical and legal framework guaranteeing the protection of this tree and the quality of its derived products.

The growing fame of the Argan tree and its proven scientific benefits, requires that we be vigilant and rigorous to make sure these gains will be improved within an ethical and regulatory framework, Azoulay said at the opening of the 4th Science Day on Argan Trees, held in Torèze, southern France.

He also called on all the parties concerned to adopt a united and responsible approach to improve the Argan tree ecosystem while being alert about any malfunction, abuse or fraud that would endanger the supply chain which provides direct or indirect revenues for nearly 3 million people in Morocco.

Besides discussing the Argan oil health benefits, participants in this meeting reviewed the different partnerships launched by Morocco and other bodies to protect the Argan tree and supervise the development of derived products.

The event, attended by renowned experts, was held by the Mohammed VI Foundation for Research and the Protection of Argan Trees and Pierre Fabre Laboratories.
