# Western Sahara Resource Watch

> Western Sahara Resource Watch reports that 23 vessels shipped about 1.23 million tonnes of phosphate rock from occupied Western Sahara in 2022. It estimates Morocco's income from the territory at up to US$655.5 million. The report names buyers of this rock and says the trade remains profitable due to high phosphate prices.
