# Morocco – US: Fertiliser giant OCP faces challenges in North America

> Morocco's OCP has had its exports to North America at a standstill since July 2020, after Mosaic filed a petition alleging subsidies and seeking countervailing duties. OCP is one of the world's top five phosphate producers, and the case is a first in its 100-year history. The final outcome is expected around March 2021.

## Why it matters

The loss of OCP's supply to North America tightens phosphate availability in the US market, which supports DAP prices until the trade dispute is resolved.
