As factory plans await, Morocco donates 2,000 tons of fertilizer to Ghana

Morocco is donating 2,000 tons of fertilizer to Ghana, Ghanaian Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa announced on X. He also highlighted that food security cooperation between Rabat and Accra will include technical support for the construction of a modern fertilizer manufacturing plant in Ghana.

The topic of fertilizers was briefly discussed by Morocco’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation, and Moroccans Living Abroad, Nasser Bourita, during a press briefing last week in Rabat alongside his Ghanaian counterpart.

Just days earlier, Kenya’s Foreign Minister Musalia Mudavadi, speaking from Casablanca, called on the Kingdom to accelerate the creation of a fertilizer blending plant in Kenya, a project expected to significantly lower input costs and boost yields for Kenyan farmers.

Both Kenya and Ghana support Morocco’s autonomy plan for Western Sahara, first proposed in 2007.

Morocco is also in talks with Tanzania, despite the country's recognition of the so-called «Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic (SADR)», to build a fertilizer production facility there.
