Backed by almost a century of production, OCP Group is

resolute in its mission to establish Morocco as the world’s

largest sustainable supplier of phosphate-based products.

WORDS HOLLY JOHNSON • IMAGES OCP GROUP

M

ore than 70 million years ago, the world’s largest phosphate

reserves formed under Morocco. Phosphate rock is the main

source of phosphorous, one of life’s basic building blocks and an

irreplaceable mineral in human and plant DNA. In 1920, the

state-owned OCP Group began to develop this precious resource,

becoming the world’s first exporter of phosphate-based products.

Backed by almost a century of production history, the Group has become a global

leader across the entire phosphate supply chain, extracting, processing and selling

phosphate and its derivatives, phosphoric acid and fertilisers.

Economic success has never distracted the company from its core moral

responsibility to ensure the longevity of this valuable mineral for worldwide use. »
