Between January and September 2025, Morocco’s phosphate industry posted a sharp rise in exports, bringing in nearly 74.65 billion dirhams—a 19.2% increase compared to the same period last year. These figures come from the latest report released by Morocco’s Office of Foreign Exchange, which tracks monthly trade performance.
The spike is largely driven by a surge in raw phosphate sales, which soared by 49%. Phosphoric acid exports followed with a 17.9% gain, while exports of natural and chemical fertilizers rose by 16.3%. Taken together, these results reinforce the critical role the phosphate sector continues to play in Morocco’s export landscape.
The aerospace industry also kept its momentum, generating over 20.8 billion dirhams in exports during the first nine months of the year—a 6.1% year-on-year rise. Within this sector, exports of Electrical Wiring Interconnection Systems (EWIS) grew by 8.4%, and aircraft assembly components climbed 5.1%.
Agricultural and food exports also moved in a positive direction, totaling 64.86 billion dirhams—an increase of 3.4%. This growth was led in large part by strong performance in agriculture, forestry, and hunting, which rose by 10.7%.
However, not all sectors fared as well. Key industrial segments posted declines, dragging down Morocco’s broader manufacturing exports. Automotive shipments dropped by 2.7%, textiles and leather fell by 4.1%, and the electronics and electrical sector slumped by 7.5%.
