OCP is a global leader in the production and export of phosphate rock, phosphate-based fertilizers and related products, founded in 1920 and based in Morocco. 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 that drive constant innovation across the company, permits OCP to respond creatively and cost-effectively to growing global demand for its products.

A world-class company

OCP takes seriously its obligation to support environmentally sustainable development in Morocco and beyond. Major infrastructure investments and technical innovations are dramatically reducing the environmental footprint of our operations. Our increasingly diversified and locally-adapted product mix, combined with the development of tools such as soil fertility maps, help farmers assure that they only use the appropriate type and amount of fertilizers for their specific crops and soil conditions.

A strong commitment to sustainable development & environmental responsibility

OCP serves a network of over 130 customers on 5 continents, and through them supports farmers in all corners of the planet.

In addition, OCP has a growing number of production and engineering joint ventures with partners from countries such as India, Pakistan, Brazil, Belgium, Germany, Turkey and the United States.Morocco's location at the crossroads where Europe meets Africa and the Atlantic meets the Mediterranean is reflected in OCP's commitment to its growing partnerships in Africa and the Global South, including our partnerships in the Atlantic basin, which is an increasingly important stage of global food security efforts.

A reliable global partner

A major contributor to global food security

A proud partner in Morocco’s development and global economic presence

OCP is honored to play an important role in the economic development and global reach of Morocco. It is the largest company in the country, providing over 18,000 direct jobs and 40,000 indirect jobs across Morocco. OCP represents approximately 3.5% of Moroccan GDP and accounts for one quarter of Moroccan exports. At the same time, OCP is a substantial contributor to the success of Morocco's own agricultural sector, which accounts for 15% of the country's GDP in a country where 40% of the population is rural. OCP is a major supporter of Morocco's national agricultural development plan, the "Plan Maroc Vert", particularly through its support for the development of a detailed set of soil fertility maps for Moroccan farmers and the recent creation of an OCP-sponsored investment fund to support agricultural innovation in Morocco. These investment and soil fertility map programs are gradually being expanded to other countries in Africa.

More broadly, OCP supports the economic and social development of Morocco through its substantial investments in social infrastructure and services in the communities and regions of its mining and production sites, and through its recently-launched "OCP Skills" program to provide training and enterprise-creation support to thousands of young Moroccans.

SOME KEY FIGURES

OCP’s products play an important role in global food security and agricultural productivity, as they provide essential nutrients to food crops and help rebuild healthy soils. Phosphate is an essential and irreplaceable element for plant, animal and human life.The dramatic increases in agricultural productivity that made possible the first “Green Revolution”, and that will drive a similar revolution in Africa, depend on the appropriate use of the right fertilizers, at the right time, in the right mix and quantity. By developing a growing range of locally appropriate fertilizer products, OCP gives farmers the tools to feed a hungry planet while providing sustainable economic growth for their communities and nations.
