Understanding the Pricing Dynamics of Fair-Trade Argan Oil

Freshly pressed fair-trade Argan oil bottles on a wooden surface.

In the world of fair-trade Argan oil, pricing reflects more than just the product’s market value; it
encompasses ethical labor, product freshness, and varying client requirements. Within cooperatives, we
observe 2 to 3 pricing categories even for the same product type, each tailored to meet different quality
expectations.

Why Fair-Trade Argan Oil Costs More: Quality and Freshness

True connoisseurs understand that fair-trade Argan oil demands a premium price—justifiably above the average.
This pricing reflects fair wages paid to the hard-working women who produce it, as well as the premium
quality of freshly-pressed oil.

Fresh Argan oil retains its full shelf-life, providing buyers with maximum ROI, unlike oils that have
been processed and stored, losing quality and thus lowering potential returns.

The Pitfalls of Cheaper Alternatives

Our experience has shown that potential clients, including some of our loyal customers, occasionally look for
cheaper options, only to face disappointment. Most clients who have tried these alternatives eventually
return, seeking our help to recover from these unfortunate experiences.

Our Commitment to Competitive and Ethical Pricing

We understand the importance of competitiveness within a specific quality range. This is why we offer a
tiered pricing structure: larger quantities yield lower prices per unit. Additionally, we provide the option
of yearly contracts with drip-shipping capabilities, giving clients flexibility in purchasing while ensuring
consistent, high-quality product availability.

Tailored FOB Pricing: What Factors Affect Your Order

The FOB (Free on Board) price varies according to order specifics, including quantity, destination, and
additional customization needs. By tailoring each offer to the client’s exact requirements, we ensure
transparency and provide a competitive edge that meets their objectives.
