# Rabat turns fertiliser diplomacy to its advantage | Article | Africa Confidential

> Africa Confidential reports that Morocco's OCP is using phosphate supplies in diplomacy, giving away 180,000 tonnes and discounting another 350,000 tonnes to African farmers. The article says the Ukraine war is expected to cut global fertiliser output by 7% over the next year and push up fertiliser costs in Africa.

## Why it matters

A projected 7% fall in global fertiliser output combined with rising import costs supports phosphate and fertiliser prices, while discounted OCP supplies provide only limited relief.
