Defense Minister Rajnath Singh is in Morkeko on a two -day tour.
The country’s Defense Minister Rajnath Singh is on a visit to Morocco. Here he will inaugurate the first manufacturing plant of Tata Advanced Systems in Morocco with several agreements. It is India’s first Defense Manufacturing Center in Africa. It is designed for the wheel armed platform (WHAP), which is also called armored vehicle. This step will strengthen the partnership with Morocco with increasing the scope of India’s presence in the defense sector at the global level. The Morocco which is known for exporting the most phosphate worldwide.
After China, Morocco is the country which is the most phosphate production. Dozens of countries around the world buy it because they do not have the treasure of phosphate that Morocco has. Now the question is why phosphate is called the treasure of Morocco, where it is used and why this country has so much phosphate.
Treasure of Morocco
According to the NASDAC report, China, who is at first place, has 90 million metric tonnes of phosphate. There is Morocco on the second position. Which has 35 million metric tonnes of phosphate. At the same time, America is on the third number, Russia on the fourth and Jordan on the fifth.
Many countries buy phosphate from Morocco. The largest importer countries are India, European countries, Brazil and Japan. Buying it is the compulsion of most countries because its reserves are with select countries. This is the reason why Phosphate is a real wealth for Morocco.
The phosphate is removed by mining the rocks.
To detect phosphate reserves, geologists investigate which part of the ground has layers of phosphate. Stores have been detected from satellite, drilling and geophysical tests. Once confirmed, it is mined. The phosphate stones extracted from the mine are broken into a crusher machine and its impurities are removed and it is sent for use in different sectors.
Where did this phosphate come from?
Now the question is, where did so much phosphate come from Morocco. The answer is the natural cause.This area was under the sea for millions of years. The remains of sea creatures continued to accumulate here. Phosphorus is found in their bones and shells. For millions of years, after pressure and chemical reaction, these phosphate turned into rock.
Not only this, the western part of Morocco is between the Atlantic Ocean and Sahara Desert. Great layers of phosphate were formed here when silt was collected. Minerals were preserved here due to dry climate. There is no phosphate everywhere on the earth, but the geological situation of Morocco is such that there is such a big store. In this way it became a store and proved to be the biggest natural treasure for Morocco. This is the backbone of the economy here.
Phosphate mines.
Where is it used?
- To increase yields: Phosphorus emanating from phosphate is essential nutrients through growth of plants. It is used to make manure. Foster fertilizer increases the yield and also increases soil fertility.
- Chemical Industry: Phosphate is used in large quantities in the chemical industry. Such as in making detailed and cleaning products. In chemicals that purify water.
- Animal Diet: It is also mixed in the mineral supplement given to animals. Phosphorus is necessary for animal bones and teeth, so animals are ensured that animals get sufficient amounts.
- Pharma Sector: Phosphate is used in medicines and supplement. This is the reason why many countries of the world import it.
- It is also used here: In addition to the metal, cement industry, the metal of phosphate is also used in batteries. Many countries of the world import it.
