Morocco, a small African country located in the northwest of the African continent with a total land area of 450,000 square kilometers, possesses the world's largest phosphate reserves and is the world's largest exporter of phosphate, globally renowned for its phosphate reserves.

 

A major 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco on September 8, 2023, local time. According to CCTV News, as of 10:00 AM on September 11, local time, the earthquake has caused 2497 deaths and 2476 injuries.

 

The epicenter of the earthquake was located in Marrakech, Morocco, an area with a radius of 200 kilometers containing numerous phosphate companies. As a major global supplier and the world's largest exporter of phosphate, this earthquake may disrupt the existing supply and demand structure, causing a chain reaction and inevitably affecting the prices of various phosphate and phosphate chemical products, as well as phosphate imports and exports globally. The extent of the impact is yet to be determined. From the perspective of the phosphate industry, we should closely monitor the extent of the damage and market conditions, adopt various reasonable measures, and strengthen phosphate supply, mining, selection, and utilization efficiency to mitigate the impact of the Morocco earthquake on the global phosphate industry.

 

Closely monitor the rise and fall of international phosphate rock prices.

Regarding China's phosphate import and export situation, both import and export volumes are relatively small, with domestic production mainly for domestic use. However, it is still necessary to closely monitor the rise and fall of international phosphate prices. It is recommended to continue monitoring the post-earthquake impact on local mines and port transportation in Morocco.
