Morocco donates 2,000 metric tons of fertiliser to Ghana
The government of the Kingdom of Morocco has donated 2,000 metric tons of fertiliser to the Republic of Ghana, a gesture the Foreign Minister has described as generous and timely for the country’s strategic objective of achieving food security.
Receiving the fertilisers, the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, expressed gratitude to the Government of Morocco, noting that the intervention reflects the cordial relations between the two countries.
He revealed that Morocco had earlier made a similar donation and that Moroccan authorities have also demonstrated readiness to support Ghana in fertiliser production.
In a statement posted on Facebook, Mr Ablakwa referenced expanded collaboration in areas such as visa facilitation and sports development, noting that these initiatives would increase people-to-people exchanges for the mutual benefit of citizens of the two countries.
The Ambassador of the Kingdom of Morocco, Imane Ouaadil, underscored that the donation constitutes the second consignment of fertiliser support to Ghana and is a testament to the depth of the longstanding friendship and cooperation between the two nations.
She highlighted Morocco’s commitment to promoting agricultural development across Africa and noted that the support would help boost productivity, enhance the resilience of Ghana’s farming sector, and mitigate the impact of global challenges such as climate change, supply chain disruptions, and rising fertiliser costs.
The Ambassador also commended Ghana’s prioritisation of agriculture as a driver of sustainable growth and acknowledged the role of Office Chérifien des Phosphates (OCP) Africa in facilitating effective coordination, farmer support, and capacity-building initiatives.
The Chief Director, Ambassador Khadijah, emphasised that the gesture represents a practical outcome of sustained diplomatic engagement between the two countries and reflects the shared commitment to ensuring that bilateral cooperation yields tangible benefits for citizens.
She noted that the donation would contribute meaningfully to ongoing national efforts to enhance agricultural productivity and strengthen food security, while expressing appreciation to the Government of Morocco for its continued partnership.
