The Moroccan Office Cherifien des Phosphates group, through its company "OCP Nutricrops", signed a memorandum of understanding with the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, which includes supplying the Brazilian market with about 3.8 million tons of Moroccan fertilizers during the period between 2026 and 2027.

The agreement was signed during the official visit of a Brazilian government delegation to the "Cherifien des Phosphates" industrial complex, after the initial announcement of the visit indicated the readiness of both parties to conclude a memorandum of understanding to enhance Brazil's fertilizer supplies.

The agreement not only guarantees the quantities directed to the Brazilian market but also establishes a broader framework for cooperation aimed at exchanging expertise, stimulating innovation, and exploring new opportunities that respond to the agricultural specifics in Brazil, according to the Moroccan site "Al-Omq".

Triple superphosphate "TSP" occupies a central position within the agreed supplies, along with an increasing share of plant nutrition solutions designed according to the nature of the soil and agricultural crops, allowing the adaptation of fertilizer use to the actual needs of various production areas.

The partnership revolves around ensuring the sustainability of fertilizer supplies to meet the needs of the Brazilian agricultural sector and enhancing the ability of supply chains to withstand disruptions, as well as developing the use of "TSP" primarily for producing customized plant nutrition solutions that consider the needs of each soil and crop.

Areas of cooperation also include improving plant nutrition and soil health through mechanisms that take into account the characteristics of Brazilian lands, crops, and production systems, in addition to developing digital solutions that enhance the efficiency of agricultural practices and support the transition to more sustainable and lower carbon emission production models.
