OCP, Morocco's state phosphate producer, reported first-half 2022 turnover of 56 billion dirhams, up 72% year on year. Second-quarter turnover rose to 30.69 billion dirhams from 18.19 billion in the first quarter.
The company attributed the gain to a higher global phosphate selling price after the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Phosphate prices at multi-year highs, driven by strong Indian and Latin American demand and Chinese and Russian export restrictions, raise the cost of phosphate-based fertilizer for crop producers.
