Brazil Seeks Moroccan Support to Boost Fertilizer Supply Amid Global Shortages

Speaking at a meeting attended by about ten ambassadors from Arab countries, including Morocco, the Brazilian Minister of Agriculture stated that she will discuss with Brazilian agricultural operators to increase the share of Arab countries in fertilizer imports.

The Brazil continues to increase its agricultural production every year, but it is heavily dependent on imports of phosphate, particularly from Morocco. The third largest supplier of fertilizers to Brazil after Russia and Belarus, the Kingdom represents, along with other countries such as Qatar, Egypt and Oman, 26% of the fertilizers imported by Brazil.

On this occasion, the Ambassador of the Kingdom to Brazil, Nabil Adghoghi, welcomed the Morocco-Brazil complementarity in terms of food security and logistics connectivity. He thus expressed the Kingdom’s satisfaction with the level of trade exchanges with Brazil concerning agricultural inputs and expressed the Kingdom’s ambition to strengthen these exchanges in the same spirit of the strategic partnership that binds the two countries.
