USAID and OCP have signed two collaboration agreements to support agricultural efficiency and productivity across the continent.
Samantha Power, USAID Administrator, and Mostafa Terrab, Chairman and CEO of OCP Group, signed the agreements during a visit to Mohammed VI Polytechnic University.
The “Space to Place” project will collect accurate local soil and climate data and climate, which will serve as the basis for a decision-support tool designed to guide farmers towards optimal use of plant nutrition solutions. These- customized to meet the precise nutritional needs of their land and crops and crops, to simultaneously improve soil health and sustainably boost yields.-
The “Rock Phosphate Amendment” project will evaluate the impact of rock phosphate and innovative nutritional formulas based on it on crop yields and soil crop yields, and soil fertility.
This project will develop a decision support system for phosphate rock to help farmers identify the soils and crops which soils and crops will benefit most from this approach.
The agreement, which extends over at least four years, includes the involvement of other stakeholders and partners to drive forward these groundbreaking initiatives and encourage the adoption of these new tools by farmers across the continent.
During her visit, Ms. Power observed research underway at the University and with representatives of local cooperatives, gaining valuable insights into their experiences and the transformative potential of these projects.
She praised OCP Group as an important partner in the major global food crisis we face. The agreement will leverage technology to provide farmers in the field with recommendations on how to use fertilizers more efficiently. The data collected will also be the basis for predictions and concrete solutions to improve yields.
