Moroccan firm, OCP Group, has donated 15,000 tonnes of Di-ammonium Phosphate (DAP) fertilisers, a development that will support the country’s fertiliser use and increase farm productivity efforts according to Gerardine Mukeshimana, the Minister of Agriculture and Animal Resources.
She was visiting the construction site of the fertiliser blending factory in Bugesera District to assess its progress, along with other officials including Mohamed Anouar Jamali, CEO of OCP Africa.
OCP Group is one of the leading exporters of phosphorus fertilisers in the world.
This contribution, she said, is important especially in this period when fertiliser costs are high, mainly as a result of two factors; the war involving Russia and Ukraine and the rising transport costs associated with the Covid-19 pandemic.
