Founded in 1920, the OCP group is a global leader in the production and export of phosphate rock, phosphate-based fertilizers and related products. These products are an important component of global food security and agricultural productivity, as they provide essential nutrients to food crops and help rebuild healthy soils. A Moroccan company with global reach, OCP serves a network of over 130 customers on 5 continents, and through them supports farmers in all corners of the planet.
The combination of the world’s largest phosphate reserves (located mostly in the Khouribga basin in the center of Morocco), cutting-edge chemical and production facilities, and world-class research and development capacities, permits OCP to respond creatively and cost-effectively to growing global demand for an ever-wider range of phosphate-based fertilizers suitable to the specific soil types, crops and cultivation practices of farmers worldwide.
OCP also has a growing number of joint ventures – both in the fertilizer sector and in fields such as engineering and project management – with partners from countries such as India, Pakistan, Brazil, the United states, Germany and Belgium.
OCP’s strong contribution to Morocco’s economic and social development is mirrored by its growing engagement as a “corporate citizen” at the regional and global level. On the African continent in particular, OCP is substantially expanding not only OCP’s commercial presence but its overall efforts to promote agricultural development, with a particular emphasis on helping smallholder farmers. This effort is a key part of OCP’s new Global Food Security Initiative, focused on promoting innovation and investment in agriculture in Africa and beyond. At the same time, the OCP Foundation is supporting major efforts to share and adapt agricultural best practices from around the world, for the benefit of farmers everywhere.
