→ Morocco has an interest in ratifying the Nagoya Protocol as quickly as possible and establishing regulations on ABS (access and benefit-sharing) and an institutional framework for steering its implementation.
→ The creation of a center of excellence in research on the argan tree and the argan ecosystem ensuring better synergy between the different researchers and partner institutions.
→ The modernization of plant nurseries, or even the establishment of aggregate nurseries as is done for other species such as citrus fruits, olive trees, date palms and other arboreal species. The objective being to produce standard and/or certified plants…
This scientific committee is made up of researchers and experts representing the main national and global research institutions working on the argan tree and argan grove. Its mission is to rule on the procedures for submitting communications, to validate the communications submitted by researchers and to give opinions on all scientific aspects of the Congress.
