PHOSPHATES:
Phosphate Fact Sheet
Mosaic is the world's largest producer of finished phosphate products, with an annual capacity of 9.7 million tonnes. Our principal phosphate production facilities are located in Florida and Louisiana. We operate four mines and three concentrates plants in Florida that produce phosphate fertilizer and animal feed products, as well as a concentrates plant in Louisiana that produces phosphate fertilizer.

WHY CROPS NEED PHOSPHATE Phosphate, or phosphorus, is known as "the energizer" in crop nutrients, playing a key role in photosynthesis and providing the following benefits to growing plants:
  • Improves root growth
  • Advances maturity; lowers grain moisture at harvest
  • Leads to higher crop quality
  • Increases water use efficiency
  • Increases yields
POTASH:
Potash Fact Sheet
Mosaic's potash production capabilities are the third largest in the world, with an annual peaking capacity of 10.3 million tonnes. Our principal Potash operations are located in Canada and the United States. We operate three mines in Saskatchewan, Canada, including the world's largest potash mine in Esterhazy, as well as mines in New Mexico and Michigan.

WHY CROPS NEED POTASH Potash, or potassium, is known as "the regulator" of crop nutrients and provides the following benefits to growing plants:
  • Leads to the formation of a larger and deeper root system
  • Reduces water loss and wilting
  • Regulates nitrogen uptake
  • Increases protein content in some crops
  • Reduces lodging caused by weak stalks
