Scenes from Doreen Hammond's visit to Morocco

Daily Graphic's Features Editor, Doreen Hammond, was one of 17 African journalists who went to Morocco recently on a tour of OCP groups’s facilities to understand its operations. 

OCP is the largest manufacturer of mineral fertilisers in the world.

The visit was sponsored by the company and gave us (journalists) the opportunity to acquaint ourselves with its operations.

Morocco has the world’s largest deposits of phosphorus with a phosphate rock deposit of more than 70 per cent of what the world has.

Doreen shared her memories from Morocco in the article: Memories from Morocco and now brings to readers some scenes from that country that depicts the similarities and differences between Morocco and Ghana.
