Morocco in the Daily Ceteris
Questions from the daily puzzle where the answer is Morocco.
Which country holds the most phosphate rock reserves?
Morocco holds roughly 70% of the world's known phosphate rock, an input with no substitute in fertiliser production. Its state champion, OCP, effectively wields more long-run pricing power over global food production than any oil producer has over energy. source
