Morocco, through its state-owned phosphate company OCP, is playing a key role in stabilizing the global phosphoric acid market.
The country is cementing its position as a critical player in a market vital for international food security.
After a period of high tension, the global phosphoric acid market has found some stability since mid-August. Experts say this is due to steady demand in South Asia and the ability of key suppliers to maintain consistent exports, even with geopolitical and logistical pressures like the crisis in the Red Sea.
With an export volume of 53,000 tons between August and September 2025, Morocco is one of the market’s major players, following closely behind China (67,000 tons) and Senegal (64,000 tons).
Observers consider Morocco’s contributions crucial for helping to control the price spikes seen earlier in the year. The country’s reliable supply is helping to balance a market that remains vulnerable to global energy tensions and export restrictions from other producing nations.
