# Export deal with India tipped to boost Morocco's fertiliser industry | AGBI

> Morocco is set to sign a long-term agreement with India to export rock phosphate, with India's chemicals minister due in Rabat on January 13-14. Under the planned joint venture, public and private players would mine, produce and ship fertilisers to India. India imports up to 40% of its roughly 50 million tonnes of annual fertiliser needs.
