# WSRW: New report on contentious Western Sahara phosphate trade | Sahara Press Service | Sáhara Occidental

> Western Sahara Resource Watch's annual report says Morocco exported 1.59 million tonnes of phosphate from Western Sahara in 2017, valued at about $142.7 million. Exports fell from 2016 as the number of importers dropped to a record low of six companies in five countries.

## Why it matters

Fewer importers of Western Sahara phosphate can tighten buyer options for Moroccan rock, but the volume is a small share of global trade, so the price impact is limited.
