Peru imported $24 million worth of calcium phosphate from Morocco between January and July 2026, according to a report published on August 21 by the Center for Research on the Economy and International Trade (CIETI). This amount represents a 5.3% decrease compared to the same period in 2025.
The report highlights that Morocco remains a key supplier of calcium phosphate to Peru, which is used primarily in agricultural fertilizers and animal feed supplements. The slight decline in imports could be attributed to fluctuating global phosphate prices and changing demand in the Peruvian agricultural sector.
Despite the decrease, the trade relationship between the two countries continues to be significant. Peru also imports other phosphate-based products from Morocco, and the bilateral trade in this sector has shown resilience over the past years.
Experts suggest that the reduction may be temporary, as Peru's agricultural industry is expected to maintain steady demand for fertilizers. The CIETI report does not provide a forecast for the remainder of the year, but analysts will be watching for any further shifts in trade volumes.
