India is preparing to increase its imports of Moroccan fertilizers as part of efforts to secure agricultural supplies and address challenges affecting global supply chains.
According to information published by a specialized platform covering chemical and phosphate industries, one of India’s leading fertilizer importers plans to purchase around 200,000 tons of Moroccan fertilizers, including 100,000 tons of Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) and 100,000 tons of Triple Super Phosphate (TSP).
The shipments are expected to be delivered between June and July through ports located on India’s eastern and western coasts. The purchase price of DAP, including freight and insurance, is estimated at between $930 and $935 per ton, while TSP is valued at approximately $710 per ton.
The move comes as Indian authorities seek to ensure adequate fertilizer supplies for the agricultural sector amid ongoing disruptions in international markets and supply chains.
In a recent statement, the Indian government said the country’s fertilizer requirements for the 2026 autumn farming season exceed 38 million metric tons, while current stocks stand at approximately 19.75 million metric tons.
Official figures also show that Indian farmers had purchased more than 8.66 million metric tons of fertilizers by June 7, representing about 22.57 percent of total seasonal demand.
India continues to diversify its fertilizer sourcing strategy through international partnerships and imports while supporting domestic production to maintain supply stability and meet growing agricultural demand.
