Morocco’s fertilizer exports to the European Union reached an all-time high in 2025, with the bloc importing 1.55 billion euros’ worth of Moroccan fertilizers over the year — surpassing the previous peak of 1.42 billion euros set in 2022 and more than doubling the levels recorded in 2017. The energy crisis and supply chain disruptions drove fertilizer prices to record highs, with the average price per tonne reaching more than 700 euros in 2022. In 2023, volumes recovered by over 20% to reach 2.34 million tonnes, while prices began to normalize, bringing the total value down slightly to 1.15 billion euros. The following year saw an even more dramatic surge: volumes jumped 47% in 2024 to 3.45 million tonnes, and the total value climbed 26% to 1.45 billion euros. January and February combined generated 138.4 million euros in fertilizer exports to the EU, at an average price of 363 euros per tonne.
