markdown
The OCP Group is preparing to raise up to 5 billion dirhams through an issuance of perpetual subordinated bonds. This financial operation aims to support a new phase of its industrial development and bolster its ambitions surrounding sustainability, innovation, and energy transition.
The program has received approval from the Moroccan Capital Market Authority (AMMC), with the subscription period set from June 11 to June 15, 2026. This operation is reserved for qualified investors in the Moroccan market.
Funding to Accelerate Investment Strategy
This fundraising initiative is part of OCP’s extensive investment program aimed at strengthening its entire value chain, from phosphate extraction to the production of high-value-added fertilizers.
The group specifically intends to increase its industrial capacities, develop new mining infrastructures, and accelerate its shift towards a more sustainable production model based on renewable energies.
Goal: 19 Million Tons of Plant Nutrition Solutions by 2027
As part of its industrial roadmap, OCP aims to boost its production of plant nutrition solutions from 16 to 19 million tons by 2027.
To achieve this goal, several major projects are currently in development, including the commissioning of the Meskala mine and the construction of the new industrial complex in Mzinda.
These investments will allow OCP to meet the growing global demand for fertilizers while enhancing the group’s competitiveness in international markets.
Green Ammonia at the Core of Industrial Strategy
One of the group’s priorities is the development of green ammonia, an essential component in the production of fertilizers.
OCP aims to gradually reduce its dependence on imports of this strategic raw material by leveraging the opportunities provided by green hydrogen and renewable energies.
This direction aligns with a comprehensive vision to decarbonize the group’s industrial activities and strengthen its energy sovereignty.
Job Creation and Added Value Initiatives
Beyond its industrial activities, OCP aspires to contribute to the emergence of a genuine green economic ecosystem that integrates businesses, suppliers, and players in the energy, agriculture, and industry sectors.
Current projects are expected to generate nearly 25,000 direct and indirect jobs across several regions of the Kingdom.
Tarfaya: Future Hub for Green Ammonia Production
Among the most emblematic projects is that of Tarfaya, where the group plans to produce one million tons of green ammonia annually.
This future industrial platform will be powered by solar and wind installations totaling a capacity of 4.4 gigawatts, making this project one of the largest investments related to renewable energies in Morocco.
OCP Strengthens Its Global Positioning
Through this bond issuance and its ambitious investment program, OCP continues its transformation into a global leader in sustainable plant nutrition solutions.
Thus, the group reaffirms its commitment to combine industrial performance, technological innovation, and ecological transition, while consolidating Morocco’s role as a significant player in the green economy on the international stage.
