# Morocco plans to produce 10.4 million tonnes of fertilizer annually through two industrial hubs at a cost of $8.1 billion

> OCP Group's Benguerir-Askala (Mzinda-Maskala) program in Marrakech-Safi, with a total cost of MAD 79.23 billion (about $8.13 billion), was outlined in a regional investment note accompanying Morocco's 2027 finance bill. The plan targets 8.4 million tonnes of fertilizer by 2028 from the Mzinda-Safi hub and 2 million tonnes more from the Askala-Essaouira hub by 2030.

## Why it matters

Large phosphate and fertilizer capacity additions from Morocco, a major phosphate exporter, would ease supply tightness over the long run, though the capacity arrives years away and does not offset the current Hormuz-driven shortage.
