At OCP, innovation is a key to achieving our growth objectives and encouraging the creativity of our employees. By innovating, we aim to meet these different challenges through:
a diversified product portfolio to meet farmers’ needs, address the agriculture and agri-food markets, and exploit new business opportunities.
an integrated supply chain and end-to-end optimization to increase flexibility and successfully shift from B2B to B2F.
an efficient production system that takes advantage of the value of digital technology and innovation.
<p>a sustainable production system that meets the company’s environmental excellence ambitions and those of the circular economy program.</p>
With this in mind, OCP Group has launched a new entity dedicated to innovation in the aim of uniting the company’s initiatives in this area. The entity is structured around a common ambition and centers on research at UM6P, an international university focusing on applied research, innovation, and entrepreneurship that serves Africa.
