Morocco has significantly increased its phosphate production to the point of surpassing the United States and Russia. This is revealed by the ranking of the American Geophysical Institute "US Geological Survey".

During a visit to Morocco by Mansukh Mandaviya, Indian Minister of Chemicals and Fertilizers, the Moroccan giant OCP and major Indian fertilizer players in India signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs).

After the success of its first investment program - fertilizer production capacity has tripled in 10 years - the Moroccan group OCP has prepared a new green investment program whose implementation will allow it to achieve carbon neutrality before 2040.

Morocco plans to make a major donation of fertilizers to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines next year. A roadmap for cooperation between the two countries over the next three to five years is being developed.

The Moroccan group OCP has made a significant donation of fertilizers to Senegal to support the country’s policy and its fight against food insecurity.

In a context marked by the surge in food prices at the international level, the Office Chérifien des Phosphates (OCP) has decided to intensify its efforts to support African farmers. 4 million tons (Mt) of fertilizers will be dedicated to the continent in 2023, to strengthen its food security.

Executive Director of the Office Chérifien des Phosphates (OCP), Hanane Mourchid puts her experiences and expertise at the service of sustainable development. She makes environmental protection her battle horse and intends to make her Moroccan fertilizer company carbon neutral by 2040.

The Moroccan group OCP has made great strides in diversifying into phosphates through the signing on September 26 of a definitive agreement under which it acquires 50% of GlobalFeed S.L., a company based in Huelva, from Fertinagro Biotech S.L. The latter is a Spanish fertilizer producer.

The Russia-Ukraine war and the global surge in fertilizer prices are benefiting the Moroccan giant OCP, which achieved record revenue in the first half of the current year.

With 86% green energy coverage, the Office chérifien des phosphates (OCP) hopes to fully cover its needs by 2028. It is in this context that the group launched a call for tenders last July for a 258 MW solar project.

A member of the US Congress is calling for a reduction or lifting of duties imposed on US imports of OCP group fertilizers. Taking such a measure will relieve farmers who are suffering from soaring prices.
