Morocco fertiliser market: trade, demand and supply
Morocco exported 6.7 Mt of phosphate rock in 2025 (estimate), 22% of world exports (the 2nd largest exporter).
Fertiliser demand, 2024 Demand: agricultural consumption of fertiliser nutrients (N, P₂O₅, K₂O), in tonnes of nutrient. Industrial uses of nitrogen are not included. Official statistics where reported, otherwise graded FertRadar estimates (grades A to D). Grade C: FertRadar estimate, anchored. Source: FAO and national statistics (CC BY 4.0), completed by graded FertRadar estimates 0.2% of world demand, grade C
N: net exports, 2025 Imports minus exports of fertilisers in nutrient tonnes, from the FertRadar trade matrix (indicator D10). Raw materials and intermediates excluded. Source: Customs statistics reconciled by CEPII (BACI, Etalab Open Licence 2.0), cleaned and adjusted by FertRadar net exporter

Years up to 2024 are complete annual data; only 2025, the latest year, is a FertRadar estimate: trade from the monthly customs declarations (UN Comtrade), production from the output reported for 2025. Agricultural use is shown to 2024, the latest year with reported data.

About this data
MethodologyDefinitions6
- Trade
- Sum of all reported bilateral flows of the product in the year, in tonnes of product, after FertRadar adjustments (phantom tonnes imputed, reclassifications, duplicate codes removed).
- Net imports (D10)
- Imports minus exports of fertilisers in nutrient tonnes, from the FertRadar trade matrix (indicator D10). Raw materials and intermediates excluded.
- Demand
- Demand: agricultural consumption of fertiliser nutrients (N, P₂O₅, K₂O), in tonnes of nutrient. Industrial uses of nitrogen are not included. Official statistics where reported, otherwise graded FertRadar estimates (grades A to D).
- Production
- Production of fertiliser nutrients (N, P₂O₅, K₂O), in tonnes of nutrient, as reported by countries; gaps filled with graded FertRadar estimates. Not mine output: mine production and capacity are shown separately.
- Grades
- A official or provisional, B FAO estimate or imputation, C FertRadar estimate anchored on independent data, D FertRadar statistical estimate.
- Mining capacity
- Identified capacity at the end of 2024: sum of site capacities from producers' documents or authorities, converted to nutrient. Compared with the USGS country reference.

Notes10
- Morocco imported 7.1 Mt of sulphur in 2025 (estimate), 17% of world imports (the 2nd largest importer).
- Agricultural use of fertiliser nutrients was 399 kt in 2024: 177 kt N, 173 kt P₂O₅ and 50 kt K₂O (includes FertRadar estimates).
- Fertiliser production in 2024: 1.4 Mt N and 7.4 Mt P₂O₅ (includes FertRadar estimates).
- Exports, imports and balance (exports minus imports) by nutrient and product family. Raw materials and intermediates are shown apart from fertilisers so as not to mix them.
- Trade figures: CEPII BACI with the FertRadar adjustments listed on this page. Tonnes of product unless stated; kt = thousand tonnes, Mt = million tonnes.
- 2025 is a FertRadar estimate from the monthly customs declarations (UN Comtrade), hatched in the charts. Replaced by the annual data when published.
- Values exclude freight and insurance (FOB equivalent). Unit values are customs averages over shipments under different contracts, not market prices.
- Fertiliser use and production: FertRadar best estimate (FAOSTAT values as reported, gaps filled with graded FertRadar estimates). Grades: A official or provisional, B FAO estimate or imputation, C FertRadar estimate anchored on independent data, D FertRadar statistical estimate.
- Years as reported to FAO (some countries report fiscal or fertiliser years). No forecasts.
- Two kinds of production. Nitrogen (N) and phosphate (P₂O₅): fertiliser production, the nutrient contained in the fertiliser products made in the country. Potash (K₂O): mine output, all uses included. Production of raw materials for all uses (phosphate rock, ammonia, sulphur) is shown on the product and capacity pages.
