OCP Tanzania participated in the celebration of World Fertilizer Day, which was preceded by a three-day exhibition held from October 10th to 13th in the Manyara region. This event brought together stakeholders, including farmers, who had the opportunity to learn about good agricultural practices. Additionally, soil reports revealed that over 55% of the soils in Manyara are highly acidic, presenting an opportunity for improvement through the use of TSP (Triple Super Phosphate). OCP Africa emerged as the overall winner, receiving three prestigious awards: 🏆: Best Fertilizer Company in Tanzania 🏆: Best Display and Exhibitor 🏆: Best Participant in Government Programs #WorldFertilizerDay #Agriculture #Tanzania #Sustainability

We’ve just wrapped up our participation at VIV Africa 2024 in Rwanda, reaffirming our dedication to the livestock industry across Africa. This event allowed us to introduce the PHOSFEED brand to key regional stakeholders. With 153 exhibitors and strong attendance from feed producers, farmers, and other livestock professionals, our booth became a focal point for showcasing PHOSFEED’s high-quality phosphate solutions. We also hosted a technical seminar led by an expert from OCP Group, who shared insights on the nutritional benefits of phosphates for livestock health and best practices in animal nutrition. A key highlight was the official launch of PHOSFEED in Rwanda through RFC, celebrated with a networking cocktail. Anass KHANCHOUFI, Managing Director of RFC reiterated OCP Africa’s commitment to supporting Rwanda’s livestock sector with quality feed products. We were honored to engage with representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Resources Development, veterinarians, and other agribusiness experts, further strengthening our partnerships in the region. #OCPAfrica #PHOSFEED #VivAfrica2024 #Rwanda

C’est avec une grande émotion et un immense honneur d'être aujourd'hui à Bamako, dans notre pays frère, le Mali, une nation renommée pour son hospitalité légendaire, sa diversité culturelle, sa force de caractère et sa profondeur historique. Nos deux pays, le Maroc 🇲🇦 et le Mali 🇲🇱, ont tissé des liens étroits, fondés sur une amitié indéfectible et une coopération continue. Aujourd'hui, avec le lancement d’un partenariat stratégique entre OCP Group, à travers OCP AFRICA, et le Ministère de l'Agriculture du Mali, avec l'appui de The World Bank, nous poursuivons cet héritage commun. Ce partenariat marque une nouvelle étape dans le renforcement de notre coopération, axée sur des actions structurantes pour transformer durablement le secteur agricole malien. Ce partenariat appuyé par la #BanqueMondiale se concentrera sur trois initiatives majeures pour renforcer la santé et la fertilité des sols et soutenir l'agriculture durable à travers des actions concrètes : 1) Cartographie des sols pour des pratiques agricoles optimisées, 2) Développement des Centres de Services Agricoles pour les agriculteurs et 3) Promotion de l'entrepreneuriat jeune et féminin dans l’agri-tech. Le Mali et le Maroc partagent une vision commune pour un développement durable au service de l’Afrique, et ce partenariat en est la preuve vivante. Nous sommes convaincus qu'il marquera un tournant décisif dans l'agriculture africaine. #OCPforAfrica #AgricultureDurable #Mali
