Summary:

On 30 October 2025, several media outlets reported that a document attached to Morocco’s 2026 draft finance bill confirmed Moroccan state-owned extractives firm OCP Group’s plan to invest 53 billion dirhams (approximately 5.2 billion US dollars) by the end of the year.  

The structural industrial and environmental plan includes increasing fertilizer production capacity from 12 to 20 million tons, achieving carbon neutrality, and ensuring full water sufficiency through reliance on non-traditional sources. 

The plan also envisions the development of 5 gigawatts of clean energy and establishing 560 million cubic meters of desalination capacity by 2027. 

Outlook: 

While the 2026 finance bill is still under parliamentary review, the initiative from OCP Group points to a concerted effort from the government to strengthen Morocco’s industrial base and strengthen its role in global fertilizer and related sectors. 

By targeting investments in fertilizers, energy, and water infrastructure, OCP Group is positioning Morocco to capture growth opportunities in high-demand markets and expand its influence as a regional hub for sustainable industrial production.  

The scale and focus of the projects reflect national policies to support industrial modernization, enhance competitiveness, and establish Morocco as a leader in key strategic sectors, while aligning industrial growth with sustainability and resource-efficiency objectives.
