According to challenge.ma, more than 4,200 identified species of aromatic and medicinal plants (including 800 endemic) are found in Morocco. They are used in cooking, herbal medicine and cosmetics.

The Nexira group has existed since 1895. It is a family business with 7 production sites worldwide, including 5 in France (Rouen, Serqueux, Lamothe-Montravel, Bram, Corbie) and about ten subsidiaries around the world, the main one being in the United States, the same source specifies.
