CRU and OCP announced the Phosphates 2018 conference, to be held 12-14 March 2018 in Marrakesh, Morocco, expecting over 500 industry decision-makers. The event includes site visits to OCP's Khouribga mine and Jorf Lasfar platform.
CRU's Head of Phosphates noted phosphate rock prices continue to slide as low-cost Moroccan rock gains share.
Conference news itself has little direct price impact, but its commentary that phosphate rock prices are sliding on Moroccan competition signals softer raw material costs for fertilizer producers.
