Desalination in Morocco to reinforce water security – Morocco

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) is providing a €200 million ($211.1m) loan to phosphate-based fertiliser company OCP Group, aimed at strengthening water security through the development of new desalination facilities in Morocco.

The EBRD loan will finance the construction of two seawater desalination facilities for OCP Group, at its key industrial complexes in El Jadida (Jorf Lasfar) and Safi.

These new facilities, with a capacity of approximately 35 million m3, will support the production of fertilisers essential for global food security, enabling OCP Group to meet the increasing demand [
