OCP Group's subsidiary OCP SPS SA has notified Morocco's Competition Council of plans to acquire Euro Maroc Phosphore SA (EMAPHOS), a Jorf Lasfar specialty phosphate producer. The Council announced receipt of the notification on November 5, 2026.
The deal involves buying shares from EMAPHOS's European partners and is subject to separate conditions, so the two stages will not close simultaneously.
Consolidation of specialty phosphate capacity under OCP strengthens its control over phosphate supply, which is relevant to phosphate-based fertilizer and feed phosphate pricing, though the deal's direct effect on near-term supply is limited.
