Rabat – Morocco’s fertilizer giant OCP Nutricrops will supply 1.1 million tons of fertilizers to Bangladesh between 2025 and 2026.
OCP Nutricrops, a subsidiary of OCP group, signed a commercial agreement with Bangladesh Agricultural Development Cooperation (BADC), with the contract covering plans to supply 1.1 million tons of non-urea fertilizers to the Asian country.
Converging reports said the signing took place during an official visit by a Bangladeshi delegation to Morocco.
The visit aims to finalize the commercial agreement and to explore new avenues of cooperation in agronomic research, agricultural training, and technology transfer.
“By providing tailored fertilizers and promoting their responsible use, this partnership reflects a shared vision to strengthen the foundations of a self-sufficient agricultural future for Bangladesh, grounded in science, innovation, and sustainable collaboration,” the joint statement between the signatories said.
CEO of OCP Nutricrops, Youssef El Bari, also commented on the partnership, noting that the agreement is part of the company’s commitment to sustainable agriculture.
“This agreement reinforces a long-term strategic relationship and paves the way for new collaborations in research, training, and innovation,” Bari said.
BADC’s Chairman Ruhul Amin Khan also celebrated the agreement, noting that Bangladesh is deeply grateful to OCP and Morocco for their continued support for the country’s agricultural productivity.
“We are very optimistic about strengthening our cooperation in various sectors of Bangladeshi agriculture through innovation, logistical support, technology transfer, training, and more,” Khan said.
OCP and its subsidiaries have long expressed a commitment to supporting farmers in their efforts toward sustainable agriculture and development in Africa and beyond.
The group has been committed to providing African farmers with copious tons of fertilizer over the years. In 2022, it announced that it reserved over 4 million tons of fertilizers for African farmers to be used for the following year.
The shipment reflects more than double OCP’s supply to the continent in 2021.
The OCP’s allocation aimed to ensure that African farmers have access to fertilizers to help boost yields for 44 million farmers across 35 countries, including Morocco.
