- Phosphorous is one of the three nutrients, along with nitrogen and potassium, used in commercial fertilizers. Without the mineral, many farmers would struggle to get good crops.
However, phosphates cannot be produced artificially, and only a finite quantity can be mined. Chakib Jenane from the World Bank said: “Fertilizers are responsible for about 50% of our global production of food.”
CNBC visited a mine in Ben Guerir, Morocco owned by OCP - the largest producer of phosphates in the world. Iliass El Fali, a managing director in charge of the corporate strategy, sustainability and innovation at OCP, said that the African continent holds the key to global food security.
“Africa uses a tenth of the fertilizer used globally. The average the yields in Africa are a quarter of the global average. And 60% of the world’s arable lands are in Africa,” he noted.
Phosphates are also one of the main ingredients in certain lithium-powered batteries, referred to as LFP or lithium iron phosphate batteries - making these minerals crucial for decarbonization.

May Morocco rise.
Thank you inchallah 😉
And Argelia Getxo down
Morocco is the oldest friend and Ally of the US. It was the first country to recognize America.
Doesn't seem like our friend since it left us be colonized and robbed of our culture.
America has no friends only interests. 😂
And Statia.
Yeah pirates. But the gunpower for Washington was spanish

Spain itself was a province belonging to Morocco, south of Iberia. It was under the rule of the Moroccans for four centuries. I am here to teach you the history that you did not study in Spain, and those who rule you do not have the courage to say it. You want me to refresh your memory with two immortal names. The first was the conqueror of Andalusia, Tariq Ibn Ziyad, and the second was Sultan Yusuf Ibn Tashfin in the Battle of Zallaqa. During his rule, Andalusia belonged to Morocco... Morocco is history, and the rest is students.
6:15 For anyone curious about recycling human sewage, there is actually a rather simple and cost efficient method of doing it. The channel "Undecided with Matt Ferrell" has a video about it called "Turning Human Waste into Renewable Energy?".
The TLDW is that you can pressure cook "organic material" to mimic how fossil fuels naturally form to make, well, fossil fuels (primarily bio-char is covered). The company pushing to retrofit waste treatment plants estimates that the resulting "products" could effectively make the treatment plants into power plants with an endless supply of "fuel" producing more power than it takes to process it. It also breaks down PFAS and most other contaminants.
Proud to be moroccan!
It's not like we invented some life changing tech or landed on Mars after sending ou Moroccan made space shuttle , this is something that we did not made ourself nothing to be proud about
He said he's proud to be Moroccan. Not proud to have Phosphate @@sanshirokun 🤦♂🤦♂🤦♂

BYD the largest producer of EVs and LFP batteries globally is building Ev factory in Morroco because of its phosphorous reserves.
Why? What's the link?
@@najibyarzerachic I still don't understand
@@manyulgarprsch what link are you talking about
@@manyulgarprsch oh now i see the link between EV & Phosphorous??
Lithium iron phosphate (LFP) is a type of rechargeable battery used to power electric cars. Phosphourous is used to make cathode materials of these batteries.
@@najibyarzerachic causal link between the usage of phosphorus and the production of ev
Sedementary deposits such as Morocco have high levels of heavy metals like cadmium and lead which leave trace residue build up in soils as well as radioactives like thorium and Uranium. They are extremely costly to refine to a state apt for food additives, and moreso for LFP batteries. Arriane Phosphate in Canada has the world's largest, purest, and safest undeveloped igneous phosphate deposit with none of the negative elements and is fully permitted.
Also, Rainbow Rare Earth of the London exchange has signed an MOU with Morocco to process their endless gypsum stacks of tailings for the extraction of Rare Earth Elements neodymium and Praseodymium for the permanent magnets that go into electric motors.
أعداء المغرب لا يكلون أبدا في تسفيه مجهوداته و التنقيص من منتجاته التي يشهد الكل بجودتها. لكن المغرب سائر بتباث في الطريق الصحيح لإسترجاع أمجاد الإمبراطورية المغربية التاريخية القوية.
That explains very much. Thank you.
And yet one of the world's best phosphate fertilizers is found in... Russia.
A lesser known or lesser distributed fact, is that the phosphate fertilizer in Russia contains FAR lower amounts of cadmium traces than the one in Morocco... Cadmium naturally occuring in nature, is bad for our health.
Morocco has 51 billion tons of phosphates but another country has more (this video is not up to date). Norway has found reserves earlier this year that amounts to 71 billion tons.
According to Nettavisen the amount of phosphate that can be mined in Norway is highly exaggerated. They say that in reality its more like 2 billion tonnes rather than 70. Still alot tho

Africa produces 25% of the world's agricultural output using 10% of its fertiliser. That says something about the potential to save *excessive* fertiliser use in other countries.
No country wants to depend on the outside for its food supply.
@@hatimaheddar2411 Hello from Norway that can supply 25% of its food alone. :P
@@Sjalabais Norway will join Morocco soon as the biggest Phosphate reserve owners, this guarantees you food even if you aren't growing in it on your soil as you have the upper hand over the international agriculture.
their greenbelt initiative and the push for food forests instead of monocrop farming has been MASSIVELY successful. Land that used to produce a single crop in 3 months then be barren the rest of the year now stays green and produces different foods for 9 months of the year. Their geography allows plants to get supercharged from the sun and by using permaculture methods like water management, biomass from the forest itself and animal waste for fertilizer, they're able to grow CRAZY amounts of food in densely packed areas.
Maybe if we just quietly replace half the content a fertilizer bags with dirt, people will use less, even if it is explicitly stated on the package. Like how we tend to put less food on our plate when it's smaller without even realizing it...
morocco strategically not exhausting its natural resources especially phosphates and waiting for the rest of the world to run out of its reserves especially china , russia then the price will be even greater than oil , its food we re talking about here .
Only 10 - 12% of Phosphorus in Rock phosphate become available for plant. On the other hand 100% phosphorus become available for plant when it origin from organic sources.
if phosphates run ou then what will humans do?
Hunger will happen and people will die eventually due to famine
@@Ed.G is this inevitable?
Nothing will happen. These multi companies make you dependent on them.
The moroccan reserve are huge which can supply the global humanity for more than 100 years without runing out
Use poop, as mentioned by the farmer.
Edit: They just discovered gigantic reserves in Norway ( Phosphate 😉).
When they say world the mean America democracy about to arrive
Now Norway 🇳🇴 found a Biggest phosphate Deposit in the world which will make Morocco importance less
it's a win for all of us
We not sure if this news is true
Not true norway didnt verify it claim so Morocco has more
@@nixoncodeIt is stupid to believe this news, you cannot. In fact, expect precautions without drilling. There is a lot of phosphate on the coasts, but it is expensive. Very huge. Same thing in Norway. No superficial phosphates were discovered, only false statements.
wow! someone jealous.
How much is the income or revenue from Moroccan phosphate? That is, how did he achieve profits this year or last year?
It is known that the State of Morocco is the first in exporting phosphate around the world. Unfortunately, the people do not benefit from the income of phosphate, unlike the Gulf countries that benefit from the income of oil, such as: the State of Qatar, the State of the Emirates, the State of Kuwait.
All of this is due to economic corruption in Morocco
What are you talking about, check the economy go to morocco and you will understand 🤷🏽
that's why they are so adamant to legalize their disputed territory
Oh ignorant, la majeure partie du phosphate marocain, 90 pour cent, se trouve au centre du Maroc
Looks like Morocco needs peace freedom democracy!
We already have peace, freedom and democracy lol
I guess you'll have to figure out how to compost your green waste, eh? lol!!
Does Morocco need US Democracy?
No only west sahara needs it

No, we don't need it. We are a sovereign and proud country, and I believe we have the capabilities to become self-sustained 100% efficiency.
@@dysemp2814 Relax. He was joking. He was invoking the analogy of Iraq and oil.
Even the UK doesn't have US Democracy, and is a strong US ally
Isn't the world growing forests, and many other areas for thousands of years without mining Morrocco's product?
yes you re right but earth doesn t have an infinite amount of minirals, those thousand years of growing and faarming killed our soil, which is why now all the focus turned to phosphate since fertilizers are made nitrogen(can be chimically produced), phosphorus(natural), and potassium(can be chimically produced).
You're right bro. These media channels always wake a sleeping dog
Yes, because forested have plenty of biodiversity in the soil, many opportunities for phosphate to stay in the loop, but our farmland with it's monocrops and constant plowing, loses most of it, which then gets replenished year after year with fertilizer made from phosphate rock. It runs off with the wind out the rain. And simple solutions exist to motivate that problem (like planting bushes around fields, keeping native plants and animals around, letting the ground test once every seven years. And all these practices, though they may have a steep upfront cost, eventually benefit the farmers who do then. We just need to stop replying on megafarming (easier said than done with an ever growing population)...
The USA will being us democracy yeay 😂😂😂😂😂😂, Afghanistan on steroids.
How many times she needs to change clothes
There is phosphorus in florida 🇺🇸 a lot
Morocco have 75% of the world phosphates reserves.
Morocco should be careful with the US. Knowing that they have that kind of scarce resource will make the US find a reason to invade the country. 😂😂😂

I'm worried about France than the U.S.
as for the U.S we have been friends with them since forever.
Nah. Morocco was the first country to recognized the US as a country and Morocco stayed allied with the US during the cold war. It will not invade Morocco.
Eat da poopoo!
3:40 OCP⁉ Omni Consumer Products⁉
like in Robocop ? haha no it's Office Cherifien du Phosphate
ok
Foskor in South Africa does the same thing OCP does in Morocco
Except South Africa doesn't have 75% of the world phosphates reserves...

It isnt moroccian. Is is saharaui, bulgars
Sorry, as a Moroccan, I do not marry gay people. You asked me this twice when you found out that I am from Morocco. The word Morocco is a thorn in the side of every enemy. Andalusia will return to what it was Moroccan.
Morocco Phosphate reserves located in the north, only 6% in the Moroccan Western Sahara
@@drone5801 no
@@gerardoherranz6818 yes
But what about the Moroccan wall. They are occupying The Western Sahara for decades now.
You must be an Algerian. Algeria plans to divide Morocco.
You must've confused it with Israel. We do not occupy any land, Morocco has liberated it from Spain in 1975. People who live there are proud Moroccans. If you're referring to the small separatist group, they're basically funded by our neighbours to divide our country.
Please no Western Sahara. It’s Morocco. Western Sahara not under Moroccan rule would be another failed state in Africa.
Algeria doesn't have soybeans
I am glad you mention this, not many people know about Western Sahara or that it has been stolen by Morocco. CNBC should mention this as it is where part of the phosphate production actually comes from.
