The Moroccan group OCP is seeking to consolidate its position as a world leader in phosphates. To this end, the chemical giant has launched a 130 billion DH investment programme for the period 2023- 2027, reports Le Matin. The aim of this initiative is to increase fertiliser production capacity while committing to carbon neutrality by 2040.
