Tunisia Gafsa phosphate questions
The "Qasaat" phosphate project in Kasserine Governorate has advanced beyond just an idea. In March 2025, the Australian company Fosco received an official exploration license to develop a mine spanning an area of 112 square kilometers. At the same time, Washington launched a funding request of $1.54 million to support an American investment aimed at attracting US capital and equipment, and linking the project to the global supply chains for vital minerals, especially phosphate used in fertilizers and food security. This raises questions about ownership control, environmental commitments, water sources, and the value of local manufacturing. The project has moved beyond mere exploration and is entering active development stages, with potential to become a major source of economic and technological value—before its ultimate fate is decided between export or local manufacturing.
