morocco doesn't even know how to increase rp production from there current mines so don't expect miracles like significant supply increases any time soon. also, the infrastructure required to bring new supply from new sources into the market will be very costly and time consuming....note the quote from the article below,
"India was also requested to participate in improving the mining of rock phosphate so as to increase its availability."
morocco may increase their rp production in time but it seems to me that they are simply bartering with india and other markets and trying to attract investment money into morocco in order to create other industries.
heres the article,
Morocco will significantly enhance the supply of rock phosphate and phosphoric acid to India required for manufacture of DAP and other complex fertilizers. This indication was given in the meeting between the Moroccan Prime Minister, Mr. Abbas El Fassi with Mr. Ram Vilas Paswan, Minister of Chemicals, Fertilizers and Steel at Rabat. In the hour long meeting with the Moroccan Prime Minister, several issues including investment in Morocco by Indian companies in chemicals, fertilizers, steel, automobiles and cooperation in the field of mineral and oil exploration were discussed.
Later, the delegation held a meeting with Mr. Mostafa Terrab, President and CEO of OCP, world’s largest supplier of rock phosphate and phosphoric acid, at Casablanca. Mr. Terrab assured that as the leading supplier of rock phosphate and phosphoric acid, OCP would make all possible efforts to ship enhanced quantities of these raw materials/intermediates required for phosphatic fertilizers with distinct and considerable price advantage to India vis-à-vis., the prevailing international price. India imports nearly 1.1 million tonnes of rock phosphate from Morocco, which is 22% of India’s total import of rock phosphate. About 1.2 million tonnes of phosphoric acid is imported by India from Morocco, which is about 50% of India’s total import. Besides, the possibilities of long term measures such as setting up of joint ventures in Morocco were also discussed. OCP offered two plots for Indian entities at Jorf Lasfer for setting up of phosphoric acid unit. India was also requested to participate in improving the mining of rock phosphate so as to increase its availability. OCP welcomed the participation of NMDC in this effort.
Earlier in his meeting with Moroccan Minister of Energy, Mines, Water and Environment Ms. Amina Benkhadra at Rabat, Mr. Paswan extended the offer of providing services of National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC), a PSU under the Ministry of Steel, for exploration of various minerals in Morocco. Morocco is reported to have reserves of gold lead, zinc, iron, silver and copper. It was decided that a Joint Committee comprising of representatives of ONHYM, the Moroccan entity in mineral sector and representative of NMDC would work out the modalities and develop an action plan.
The Moroccan Minister of Commerce and Industry will be meeting the delegation in Casablanca today for further talks on increasing cooperation in various industrial sectors. This meeting has been organized on the initiative of the Moroccan Prime Minister.
Shri Paswan is leading a high level delegation to Morocco on a three days visit. The delegation includes Secretary, Department of Fertilizers, Dr. J S Sarma and other senior officials of the Department, Shri Rana Som, CMD, NMDC and Shri U S Jha, CMD, RCF.
India is one of the largest consumers of fertilizers. However, it meets a large part of its requirements in the phosphatic sector through imports of phosphatic raw materials/ intermediates such as rock phosphate and phosphoric acid. It imports nearly 5 million tonnes of rock phosphate, 2.5 million tonnes of phosphoric acid and 3 million tonnes of Di-Ammonium Phosphate (DAP) annually. India produces 17.7% of global production of DAP, imports 23.6% of global trade of DAP and consumes 28.1% of global consumption of DAP. India does not have any indigenous production of Mono-Ammonium Phosphate (MAP) and Triple Super Phosphate (TSP) and imports around 4% of global trade of MAP corresponding to 1.3% of global consumption. India imports 17.9% of global trade of rock phosphate, as the indigenous production is extremely limited. India’s indigenous production of phosphoric acid corresponds to 4.1% of global production and it imports a significant 54.4% of phosphoric acid of global trade. India’s consumption of phosphoric acid constitutes 11.7% of global consumption.
Morocco has one of the largest reserves of phosphate rock and is one of the main producer and supplier of phosphatic raw materials, intermediates and finished fertilizers to the global market. Current production of rock phosphate by Morocco is about 29 million tonnes annually, of which nearly 45-50% is exported.
Indian fertilizer company Paradeep Phosphate Limited (PPL) has a long-term supply arrangement of rock phosphate from Morocco and Zuari Industries Ltd (ZIL) and Tata Chemicals Ltd (TCL) have off-take arrangement for phosphoric acid from IMACID, a joint venture between Office Cherifien des Phosphates (OCP), Morocco and ZIL and TCL, India. OCP, Morocco also has equity stake in the PPL, India.
