# Morocco's Sulphur Imports Hit US$3.2 Billion

> Morocco spent 30.9 billion dirhams on sulphur imports in the first nine months of 2026, nearly three times the amount spent a year earlier. Higher sulphur prices contributed to OCP’s first-half net loss; sulphur is used to make the sulphuric acid needed to process phosphate rock into fertilizer.

## Why it matters

Higher sulphur costs raise the cost of producing phosphate fertilizers and pressure OCP’s margins, potentially supporting fertilizer prices if costs are passed through to buyers.
