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%. Tags: agricultural fertilizersphosphate fertilizers
