Rabat – OCP Nutricrops and the Bangladesh Agricultural Development Corporation (BADC) renewed their agreement, under which the OCP Group’s subsidiary will supply the Asian country with up to 1.3 million metric tons of phosphate-based fertilizers over the 2026-2027 period.
A press release from OCP said the supply, which is under the new agreement signed on Thursday, includes up to 750 kilotons of Triple Super Phosphate, also known as TSP. The product is a source of phosphorus and is a key component of OCP Nutricrops’ approach to customized soil nutrition.
TSP helps farmers to boost their soil fertility.
Chairman and CEO of OCP Nutricrops Faris Derrij expressed satisfaction with BADC’s continued trust and long-standing partnership with the CP subsidiary, stating that the agreement “reflects our shared commitment to supporting Bangladesh’s agricultural properties.”
The agreement is part of the group’s commitment to strengthen the country’s food security, enhance productivity, and improve nutrient use efficiency, in addition to building greater resilience to climate challenges, Derrij explained.
Md Azizul Islam, Chairman of BADC, echoed the same sentiment, stating that the Bangladeshi Agricultural Development Cooperation has been importing fertilizers from OCP since 2008.
“Since then, we have been working together and have developed this longstanding relationship, which we hope will continue to be strengthened over time,” Islam maintained.
He added that the contract shows BADC’s trust and reliability in the partnership with OCP.
OCP Nutricrops stressed the importance of the agreement as a mechanism to ensure access to high-quality phosphate-based soil nutrition solutions.
The agreement is also part of OCP’s approach and contribution to the world’s food sovereignty, including Bangladesh’s agriculture.
This contribution includes efforts to improve soil health management and more efficient use of agricultural inputs.
Earlier this year, OCP Foundation and Bangladesh’s agriculture ministry signed a partnership to support the country’s agricultural development objectives.
The three-year partnership aims to support farmer capacity building and knowledge sharing, to strengthen the understanding of soil health and the country’s specific agricultural context.
