OCP Nutricrops Surpasses 5 Million Tonnes of TSP Fertilizer
In a press release today, OCP Nutricrops said it achieved this result thanks to its strategic TSP Hub program, which operates from the Jorf Lasfar industrial platform. The Manufacturing SBU leads the program in collaboration with OCP Nutricrops, OFAS, and JESA. The hub relies on the use of unconventional water resources as part of OCP Group's sustainability strategy.
TSP is a key concentrated phosphate fertilizer that contains over 90% of phosphorus in a plant-available form. This makes it suitable for nutrient-deficient soils and smart fertilization strategies, the statement added.
OCP Nutricrops stressed the importance of the program and its ability to address challenges of demanding and customized agriculture by delivering fertilizer production tailored to the diverse and growing needs of the market.
It uses a 'flexible industrial process that allows precise integration of nutrients and additives.'
The plator works to meet the specific needs of farmers according to their soils and crops, providing industrial agility and speed in developing new and customized formulations.
The hub has two production lines, each with an annual capacity of 500,000 tonnes.
OCP Nutricrops also announced an ambitious program to adapt nitrogen fertilizer that is underway. The new initiative seeks to integrate new equipment and modify existing facilities to enable them to produce TSP.
Youssef El Bari, CEO of OCP Nutricrops, said the TSP Hub represents a 'major step in our phosphate fertilizer production strategy,' as it strengthens the group's ability to deliver high agnostic value fertilizers that meet the specific needs of soil and farmers across the world.
He further continued that TSP Hub also enhances the group's 'industrial precision, performance, and capacity.'
Ahmed Mahrou, Managing Director of the Manufacturing SBU, also spoke of the importance of the TSP Hub, explaining that it reflects the industrial transformation led by the Manufacturing SBU to address the challenges of fertilizer customization amid increasing agronomic diversification.
'It marks the emergence of an ambidextrous, agile, and customer-focused industrial model, where the production tool becomes a strategic lever,' Mahrou stated.
He pointed out the Manufacturing SBU's commitment towards delivering an increasing number of customized products to highly differentiated needs.
'This dynamic illustrates our commitment to putting industrial performance – in flexibility, capacity, and adaptability – at the service of sustainable value creation,' he added. Tags: Morocco's OCP GroupMorocco's OCP

Morocco Continues to Strengthen Position as Key Fertilizer Supplier to India
Rabat – Morocco continues to strengthen its position as a fertilizer supplier for many countries, including India. Last week, India's Minister of State for Chemicals and Fertilizers, Anupriya Patel, said Morocco is among the alternative suppliers for India in terms of water-soluble fertilizers. She told the Indian parliament that a 'significant quantity is important from China as well as alternative suppliers like Belgium, Egypt, Germany, and the USA.' Morocco's OCP Group is one of the leading and giant fertilizer suppliers. In 2023, the Moroccan fertilizer giant announced a deal with India to supply the country with 1.7 million metric tonnes of phosphate-based fertilizer. The agreement sought to provide India with up to 700,000 MT of Triple Super Phosphate. It is a phosphate-based fertilizer that has the highest phosphate content. The fertilizers can be used to meet the specific needs of plants and soils in India. The agreement also includes the delivery of 1,000,000 tons of diamonium phosphate to Indian farmers. In July, OCP Nutricrops celebrated surpassing five million tonnes of Tripe Super Phosphate fertilizer production. The fertilizer is also known as TSP, a key concentrated phosphate fertilizer that contains over 90% of phosphorus in a plant-available form. This makes it suitable for nutrient-deficient soils and smart fertilizer strategies. Morocco's phosphates and their derivatives' exports brought in $2 billion to the North African country in the first quarter of 2025, representing an increase of 18.2%.

OCP Nutricrops to Supply 1.1 Million Tons of Fertilizers to Bangladesh
Rabat – Morocco's fertilizer giant OCP Nutricrops will supply 1.1 million tons of fertilizers to Bangladesh between 2025 and 2026. OCP Nutricrops, a subsidiary of OCP group, signed a commercial agreement with Bangladesh Agricultural Development Cooperation (BADC), with the contract covering plans to supply 1.1 million tons of non-urea fertilizers to the Asian country. Converging reports said the signing took place during an official visit by a Bangladeshi delegation to Morocco. The visit aims to finalize the commercial agreement and to explore new avenues of cooperation in agronomic research, agricultural training, and technology transfer. 'By providing tailored fertilizers and promoting their responsible use, this partnership reflects a shared vision to strengthen the foundations of a self-sufficient agricultural future for Bangladesh, grounded in science, innovation, and sustainable collaboration,' the joint statement between the signatories said. CEO of OCP Nutricrops, Youssef El Bari, also commented on the partnership, noting that the agreement is part of the company's commitment to sustainable agriculture. 'This agreement reinforces a long-term strategic relationship and paves the way for new collaborations in research, training, and innovation,' Bari said. BADC's Chairman Ruhul Amin Khan also celebrated the agreement, noting that Bangladesh is deeply grateful to OCP and Morocco for their continued support for the country's agricultural productivity. 'We are very optimistic about strengthening our cooperation in various sectors of Bangladeshi agriculture through innovation, logistical support, technology transfer, training, and more,' Khan said. OCP and its subsidiaries have long expressed a commitment to supporting farmers in their efforts toward sustainable agriculture and development in Africa and beyond. The group has been committed to providing African farmers with copious tons of fertilizer over the years. In 2022, it announced that it reserved over 4 million tons of fertilizers for African farmers to be used for the following year. The shipment reflects more than double OCP's supply to the continent in 2021. The OCP's allocation aimed to ensure that African farmers have access to fertilizers to help boost yields for 44 million farmers across 35 countries, including Morocco.
