Why is Argan 3 Oil so high value?

Taken from scientific research from Jerusalem University published in 2001, "the aroma, flavor, oxidative stability and health benefits might compensate for the high cost of argan oil."

"This oil is rare in the world and an invaluable product. Requests for the oil are increasing yearly. The extraction is one of the longest and most painful tasks to carry out. The women who are doing this work, call for a better salary and fair living and working conditions."

Its manufacture is a strictly family activity, not even a small-scale production by craftsmen. It is a major source of income for the local population where the argan trees grow. Each family progressively extracts the quantities according to its needs.These are some of the reasons why it's price is so high, even for Moroccans.
