OCP, African Development Bank to Host Africa Fertilizer Financing Forum
Morocco’s phosphate and fertilizer giant OCP Group and the African Development Bank Group will jointly host Africa Fertilizer Financing Forum in Casablanca from October 11 to 13.
As Africa faces an agricultural production crisis, the forum’s goal is to promote fertilizer futures in the continent and foster partnerships aimed at improving access to its financing and agricultural productivity.
In addition to the OCP Group and the African Development Bank Group, another partner of the conference is the Africa Fertilizer Financing Mechanism (AFFM), an organization that promotes the use of fertilizers to increase pan-African agricultural productivity.
Set to be managed by AFRIQOM, which is a leading independent consultancy organization and source of fertilizer industry information in Africa, the event is expected to bring together agricultural specialists, financial institutions, farmers, and agriculture-interested organizations.
Judging from past editions of the event, participants at the forum will explore potential solutions to fertilizer funding obstacles, debate strategies to harness Africa’s present agricultural threats, and showcase existing success stories that they can rely on. Read More...
