# BMI Research: Morocco Set to Capitalize on China’s Slowing Phosphate Production

> BMI Research forecasts Morocco will steadily gain phosphate production share through 2021 as China's share slows. The report cites large capacity additions in Morocco and Saudi Arabia and expects Chinese producers to lose ground to unprofitable operations and tighter environmental rules.

## Why it matters

Shifting capacity toward Morocco and Saudi Arabia and away from China may change the supply balance for phosphate rock and fertilizers over the coming years. The effect on near-term prices is limited, since the forecast covers the period to 2021.
