The {{Lang|fr|[[Office Chérifien des Phosphates]]}} ([[OCP Group|OCP]]) was created in 1920 to mine [[phosphate]]s out of [[Khouribga]], which was connected to the [[Port of Casablanca]] by a direct rail line.<ref name=":6" /> In 1921, 39,000 tons of phosphate were extracted, while almost 2 million tons were extracted in 1930.<ref name=":6" /> The Moroccan laborers working in the mines did not benefit from any social protections, were forbidden from unionizing, and earned a tiny fraction of what Europeans earned.<ref name=":6" />
