What do Goats Have to Do With it? Moroccos mountain goat, called the Tamri goat, eats the fruit of the Argan tree. The goats literally climb the tree to get to the nut. Sometimes ten or more at a time in one tree. For a tree that only grows to be about 35 feet tall, thats a lot of goats. The argan oil producers would take the droppings of the goats, which had the seed completely undigested, and use that to produce the argan oil. While were sure that is still practiced today, we are hearing that some argan oil producers are producing the oil without the help of goats.
