OCP Nutricrops to supply Brazil with 3.8 million tons of fertilizer

This update focuses on OCP Nutricrops Brazil. Morocco is strengthening its position in global food security with a major agreement between OCP Nutricrops and Brazil to supply 3.8 million tons of fertilizer over 2026 and 2027.

OCP Nutricrops Brazil agreement: a strategic MoU

OCP Nutricrops and Brazil’s Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock have signed a memorandum of understanding to secure the delivery of 3.8 million tons of fertilizer to Brazil. The Moroccan group indicates that shipments will be spread over 2026 and 2027.

The deal was concluded during an official visit by a Brazilian government delegation to OCP’s industrial complex in Jorf Lasfar. It was signed by Brazil’s Minister of Agriculture, André de Paula, and the CEO of OCP Nutricrops, Faris Derrij.

At the heart of this OCP Nutricrops Brazil partnership lies triple superphosphate (TSP), a key phosphate fertilizer. A growing share of plant nutrition products tailored to Brazilian soils and crops is also planned.

Five pillars to secure fertilizer supply

This memorandum comes at a time when global fertilizer supply chains remain highly vulnerable, a fragility made more visible by recent tensions in the Strait of Hormuz. OCP Nutricrops stresses the need to diversify sources, secure deliveries and improve logistics in order to protect agricultural markets.

The agreement with Brazil is built around five main pillars:

• ensuring a reliable and sustainable supply of fertilizers;
• developing TSP as the basis for customized solutions for farmers;
• improving plant nutrition and soil health;
• promoting digital tools and more efficient, low-carbon farming models;
• expanding research and scientific and technical exchange.

The text also sets a framework for sharing expertise between Morocco and Brazil, encouraging agricultural innovation and adapting solutions to the diversity of Brazilian soils and production systems.

What this means for Morocco’s positioning

For Moroccans living abroad who follow the country’s economic outlook or consider investing in agri-business, this agreement shows how Morocco is emerging as a central player in global food security.

OCP has been active in Brazil for more than 15 years. The group established OCP Brasil in 2010, deepening ties with local farmers and distributors while building a detailed understanding of the market’s specific needs.

This new 3.8-million-ton commitment consolidates that long-term relationship. It also confirms the role of the Jorf Lasfar complex as a major industrial and logistics hub for Moroccan exports.

In the medium term, this momentum could boost Morocco’s attractiveness for projects related to sustainable agriculture, agronomic research or digital services for farmers. These are areas many members of the Moroccan community abroad watch closely, whether for business opportunities, partnerships or skills return projects.

In a world marked by unstable supply chains, the OCP Nutricrops Brazil agreement illustrates how the Kingdom leverages its phosphate resources to weigh in on global food balances, while opening additional economic perspectives for Morocco’s productive sectors.
