That leaves Morocco as the world’s great hope, and for once there is actual hope. In addition to its already-productive phosphate assets, Morocco occupies a territory called the Western Sahara, which has the world’s largest undeveloped phosphate supplies, most of which are located within a few miles of the coast.* Even should Russian and Chinese supplies fall off the market completely, the United States plus an enlarged Morocco should be able to supply sufficient volumes for all of North America, South America, Europe, and Africa. That’s great for them. And . . . wretched for everyone else.
