AGP Executive Report

Last update: 40 minutes ago

Western Sahara Trade & Industry: Western Sahara phosphates remain a flashpoint for supply-chain scrutiny, with a new report saying only three companies imported phosphate rock from occupied Western Sahara in 2025—the lowest number on record—while shipments rose to about 2.02 million tonnes, underscoring how port and Bou Craa investments are scaling exports. Corporate Accountability: A Catalonia for Freedom of the Sahrawi People campaign is pressuring AZURA Group to stop marketing Dakhla as Moroccan and to align European origin labels with court rulings that treat Western Sahara as legally distinct. Diplomacy & Energy Corridors: Morocco’s push to deepen Gulf ties is highlighted by Mohammed VI’s meeting with UAE leadership, framed as coordination to protect Atlantic-Gulf trade and energy routes amid Middle East tensions. Climate & Operations: Egypt’s meteorology office warns of extremely hot, humid conditions and notes a chance of intermittent rainfall reaching Western Sahara—an operational reminder for logistics and agriculture planning. UN Politics: Morocco argues the Sahara issue is moving beyond the UN committee stage, saying the Security Council and autonomy-based approach should drive a definitive settlement.
