Description

Soffi Cooperative
The region of Kalaat M’Gouna in the province of Ouarzaate in Morocco is very famous for its production of roses used for perfumes and rose water. The local production is celebrated in an important festival each May. Mohammed Soffi overlooks the Soffi Cooperative which is one of the pioneers in the region for rose production and organic farming. They produce and distribute dried rosebuds and petals, but set aside half their crop for the production of rose oil and rose water.
