The company conducts its business through wholly- and majority-owned subsidiaries as well as businesses in which it owns less than a majority or a non-controlling interest. Segments The company operates through three segments: Phosphates, Potash and Mosaic Fertilizantes. Phosphates This segment sells phosphate-based crop nutrients and animal feed ingredients throughout North America and internationally. The company accounts for approximately 80% of estimated North American annual production of concentrated phosphate crop nutrients. Potash This segment sells potash throughout North America and internationally, principally as fertilizer, but also for use in industrial applications and, to a lesser degree, as animal feed ingredients. The company accounts for approximately 35% of estimated North American annual potash production. Mosaic Fertilizantes This segment produces and sells phosphate- and potash-based crop nutrients, and animal feed ingredients, in Brazil. In addition to five phosphate rock mines, four chemical plants and a potash mine in Brazil, this segment consists of sales offices, crop nutrient blending and bagging facilities, port terminals and warehouses in Brazil and Paraguay. The Mosaic Fertilizantes segment also serves as a distribution outlet for its Phosphates and Potash segments. The company accounts for approximately 72% of estimated annual production of concentrated phosphate crop nutrients in Brazil and 100% of estimated annual potash production in Brazil. Dispositions In January 2023, the company completed the sale of the Streamsong Resort (the Resort). The Resort is a destination resort and conference center, which the company developed in an area of previously mined land as part of its long-term business strategy to maximize the value and utility of its extensive land holdings in Florida. In addition to a hotel and conference center, the Resort includes multiple golf courses, a clubhouse and ancillary facilities. Acquisitions In 2023, the company purchased the other 50% interest of equity of Gulf Sulphur Services (GSS), which gives it full ownership and secures control of its sulfur supply chain in the Gulf of Mexico. Phosphates segment The company's Phosphates business segment owns and operates mines and production facilities in Florida which produce concentrated phosphate crop nutrients and phosphate-based animal feed ingredients, and processing plants in Louisiana which produce concentrated phosphate crop nutrients. The company has a 75% economic interest in the Miski Mayo Phosphate Mine in Peru (Miski Mayo Mine), which is included in the results of its Phosphates segment. U.S. Phosphate Crop Nutrients and Animal Feed Ingredients The company's U.S. Phosphate operations have capacity to produce approximately 4.5 million tonnes of phosphoric acid (P2O5) per year, or about 7% of world annual capacity and about 60% of North American annual capacity. P2O5 is produced by reacting finely ground phosphate rock with sulfuric acid. P2O5 is the key building block for the production of high analysis or concentrated phosphate crop nutrients and animal feed products and is the most comprehensive measure of phosphate capacity and production and a commonly used benchmark in the company's industry. The company's U.S. P2O5 production totaled approximately 3.0 million tonnes during 2023. The company's U.S. operations account for approximately 6% of estimated global annual production and 54% of estimated North American annual output. The company's phosphate crop nutrient products are marketed worldwide to crop nutrient manufacturers, distributors, retailers and farmers. The company's principal phosphate crop nutrient products are: Diammonium Phosphate (18-46-0): Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) is the most widely used high-analysis phosphate crop nutrient worldwide. DAP is produced by first combining phosphoric acid with anhydrous ammonia in a reaction vessel. This initial reaction creates a slurry that is then pumped into a granulation plant where it is reacted with additional ammonia to produce DAP. DAP is a solid granular product that is applied directly or blended with other solid plant nutrient products, such as urea and potash. Monoammonium Phosphate (11-52-0): Monoammonium Phosphate (MAP) is the second most widely used high-analysis phosphate crop nutrient. MAP is also produced by first combining phosphoric acid with anhydrous ammonia in a reaction vessel. The resulting slurry is then pumped into the granulation plant where it is reacted with additional P2O5 to produce MAP. MAP is a solid granular product that is applied directly or blended with other solid plant nutrient products. MicroEssentials is a value-added ammoniated phosphate product that is enhanced through a patented process that creates very thin platelets of sulfur and other micronutrients, such as zinc, on the granulated product. The patented process incorporates both the sulfate and elemental forms of sulfur, providing season-long availability to crops. Production of the company's animal feed ingredients products is located at its New Wales, Florida facility. The company markets its feed phosphate primarily under the leading brand names of Biofos and Nexfos. The P2O5 produced at Uncle Sam is shipped to Faustina, where it is used to produce DAP, MAP and MicroEssentials. The company's Faustina plant also manufactures ammonia that is mostly consumed in its concentrate plants. The company produced approximately 6.2 million tonnes of concentrated phosphate crop nutrients during 2023 and accounted for approximately 80% of estimated North American annual production. Phosphate Rock Phosphate rock is the key mineral used to produce phosphate crop nutrients and feed phosphate. The company's Florida phosphate rock mines produced approximately 10.0 million tonnes in 2023 and accounted for approximately 47% of estimated North American annual production. The company is the world's second largest miner of phosphate rock (excluding China) and operates four mines in North America with a combined annual capacity of approximately 18.0 million tonnes. Additionally, the company owns 75% of the Miski Mayo Mine, which has an annual capacity of 4.8 million tonnes. Production of one tonne of DAP requires between 1.6 and 1.7 tonnes of phosphate rock. All of the company's wholly-owned phosphate mines and related mining operations in North America are located in central Florida. During 2023, the company operated three active mines in Florida: Four Corners, South Fort Meade and Wingate. The company plans to explore and develop the DeSoto property and the South Pasture property, which was previously idled, to offset future depletion at its Florida properties. The company has a 75% economic interest in the Miski Mayo Mine, which allows it to supplement its other produced rock to meet its overall fertilizer production needs and is the primary source of rock for its Louisiana operations. The company has the right to use or sell to third parties 75% of the Miski Mayo Mine's annual production. Investment in Ma'aden Wa'ad Al Shamal Phosphate Company (MWSPC) The company owns a 25% interest in MWSPC and, in connection with its equity share, it is entitled to market approximately 25% of MWSPC's production. MWSPC consists of a mine and two chemical complexes (the Project) that produce phosphate fertilizers and other downstream phosphates products in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The greenfield project was built in the northern region of Saudi Arabia at Wa'ad Al Shamal Minerals Industrial City and included further expansion of processing plants in Ras Al Khair Minerals Industrial City, which is located on the east coast of Saudi Arabia. Ammonia operations commenced in late 2016 and on December 1, 2018, MWSPC commenced commercial operations of the phosphate plant, thereby bringing the entire project to the commercial production phase and an annual production capacity of 3.0 million tonnes. Actual phosphate production was 3.1 million tonnes in 2023. The Project benefits from the availability of key raw nutrients from sources within Saudi Arabia. Sulfur The company uses molten sulfur at its phosphates concentrates plants to produce sulfuric acid, primarily for use in its production of P2O5. The company purchased approximately 3.3 million long tons of sulfur during 2023. The company purchases the majority of this sulfur from North American oil and natural gas refiners who are required to remove or recover sulfur during the refining process. Production of one tonne of DAP requires approximately 0.40 long tons of sulfur. The company procures its sulfur from multiple sources and receive it by truck, rail, barge and vessel, either directly at its phosphate plants or have it sent for gathering to terminals that are located on the U.S. gulf coast. In addition, the company uses formed sulfur received through Tampa, Florida ports, which are delivered by truck to its New Wales facility and melted through its sulfur melter. The company owns and operates sulfur terminals in Riverview and Tampa, Florida, along with Galveston, Texas and Faustina, Louisiana. The company also leases terminal space in Beaumont, Texas. The company has long-term time charters on two ocean-going tugs/barges and one ocean-going vessel that transports molten sulfur from the Texas terminals to Tampa. The company then further transports by truck to its Florida phosphate plants. The company's sulfur logistic assets also include a large fleet of leased railcars that supplement its marine sulfur logistic system. The company's Louisiana operations are served by truck from nearby refineries. Ammonia The company uses ammonia together with P2O5 to produce DAP, MAP and MicroEssentials. The company consumed approximately 1.0 million tonnes of ammonia during 2023. Production of one tonne of DAP requires approximately 0.23 tonnes of ammonia. The company purchases approximately one-third of its ammonia from various suppliers in the spot market with the remaining two-thirds either purchased through its ammonia supply agreement (the CF Ammonia Supply Agreement) with an affiliate of CF Industries Inc. (CF) or produced internally at its Faustina, Louisiana location. The company's Florida ammonia needs are supplied under multi-year contracts with both domestic and offshore producers. Ammonia for the company's Florida plants is terminaled through owned ammonia facilities at the Port of Tampa and Port Sutton, Florida. Ammonia is transported by pipeline from the terminals to its production facilities. The company has service agreements with the operators of the pipelines for Bartow, New Wales and Riverview, which provide service through June 30, 2025 with two year auto-renewal provisions unless either party objects. Under the CF Ammonia Supply Agreement, the company purchased 562,000 metric tonnes in 2023. On October 14, 2022, the company received notice from CF to exercise the bilateral, contractual right to end the ammonia supply agreement in its current form, effective January 1, 2025. The company produces ammonia at Faustina, Louisiana primarily for its own consumption. The company's annual capacity is approximately 530,000 tonnes. From time to time, it sells surplus ammonia to unrelated parties and/or may transport surplus ammonia to the Port of Tampa. In certain circumstances, it sources ammonia from alternative sources to receive at Faustina. Natural Gas for Phosphates Natural gas is the primary raw material used to manufacture ammonia. At its Faustina facility, ammonia is manufactured on site. The majority of natural gas is purchased through firm delivery contracts based on published index-based prices and is sourced from Texas and Louisiana via pipelines interconnected to the Henry Hub. The company uses over-the-counter swap and/or option contracts to forward price portions of future natural gas purchases. The company typically purchases approximately 15.5 million MM BTU of natural gas per year for use in ammonia production at Faustina. The company's ammonia requirements for its Florida operations are purchased rather than manufactured on site. Therefore, while the company typically purchases approximately 2.7 million MM BTU of natural gas per year in Florida, it is only used as a thermal fuel for various phosphate production processes. Florida Land Holdings The company is a significant landowner in the state of Florida, which has in the past been considered one of the fastest areas of population growth in the U.S. The company has land holdings totaling over 368,000 acres. These landholdings give Mosaic access to phosphate rock reserves and exist as fee simple, mining agreements or mineral rights. Some of the company's land holdings are needed to operate its Phosphates business, while a portion of its land assets, such as certain reclaimed properties, are no longer required for its ongoing operations. As a general matter, more of its reclaimed property becomes available for uses other than for phosphate operations each year. The company's real property assets are generally comprised of concentrates plants, port facilities, phosphate mines and other property which it has acquired through its presence in Florida. The company's long-term future land use strategy is to optimize the value of its land assets. Potash segment The company is one of the leading potash producers in the world. The company mines and processes potash in Canada and the U.S. and sell potash in North America and internationally. The term potash applies generally to the common salts of potassium. Muriate of potash (MOP) is the primary source of potassium for the crop nutrient industry. Red MOP has traces of iron oxide. The granular and standard grade red MOP products are well suited for direct fertilizer application and bulk blending. White MOP has a higher percent potassium oxide (K2O). White MOP, besides being well suited for the agricultural market, is used in many industrial applications. The company also produces a double sulfate of potash magnesia product, which it markets under its brand name K-Mag, at its Carlsbad, New Mexico facility. The company's potash products are marketed worldwide to crop nutrient manufacturers, distributors and retailers and are also used in the manufacturing of mixed crop nutrients and, to a lesser extent, in animal feed ingredients. The company also sells potash to customers for industrial use. In addition, the company's potash products are used for de-icing and as a water softener regenerant. In 2023, the company operated three potash mines in Canada, including two shaft mines and one solution mine, as well as one potash shaft mine in the U.S. Esterhazy, the largest Potash mine in the world, is expected to complete full ramp up of capacity and production during 2024 or early 2025. The K3 expansion has been supplying the capacity and production needed since the closure of the K1 and K2 mines in the second quarter of 2021. Decommissioning of the K1 and K2 shafts at the company's Esterhazy, Saskatchewan mine was completed in 2022. The Colonsay mine was idled through the first half of 2023 and returned to production in July 2023. The company utilizes the Colonsay mine as needed to help meet market demand. Mosaic leases approximately 291,500 acres of mineral rights from the government of Saskatchewan, and approximately 99,700 acres of freehold mineral rights in the Kronau/Regina area, which have not been developed. The company's North American potash annualized operational capacity totals 11.5 million tonnes of product per year and accounts for approximately 14% of world annual capacity and 41% of North American annual operational capacity. Production during 2023 totaled 8.3 million tonnes. The company accounts for approximately 13% of estimated world annual production and 35% of estimated North American annual production. Natural Gas Natural gas is used at the company's Belle Plaine solution mine as a fuel to produce steam and to dry potash products. The steam is used to generate electricity and provide thermal energy to the evaporation, crystallization and solution mining processes. The Belle Plaine solution mine typically accounts for approximately 80% of the company's Potash segment's total natural gas requirements for potash production. At its shaft mines, natural gas is used as a fuel to heat fresh air supplied to the shaft mines and for drying potash products. Combined natural gas usage for both the solution and shaft mines totaled 16.6 million MM BTU during 2023. The company purchases its natural gas requirements on firm delivery index price-based physical contracts and on short-term spot-priced physical contracts. The company's Canadian operations purchase physical natural gas from companies in Alberta and Saskatchewan using AECO price indices references and transport the gas to its plants via the TransGas pipeline system. The U.S. potash operation in New Mexico purchases physical gas in the southwest respective regional market using the El Paso Mosaic Fertilizantes segment The company's Mosaic Fertilizantes segment owns and operates mines, chemical plants, crop nutrient blending and bagging facilities, port terminals and warehouses in Brazil and Paraguay, which produce and sell concentrated phosphates crop nutrients, phosphate-based animal feed ingredients and potash fertilizer. The company is the largest producer and one of the largest distributors of blended crop nutrients for agricultural use in Brazil. The company produces and sells phosphate- and potash-based crop nutrients, and animal feed ingredients through its operations. The company's operations in Brazil include five phosphate mines, four chemical plants and a potash mine. The company owns and operates ten blending plants in Brazil and one blending plant and port in Paraguay. The company is constructing a one million tonne distribution facility in northern Brazil in Palmeirante. In addition, the company leases several other warehouses and blending units depending on sales and production levels. The company also has a 62% ownership interest in Fospar, S.A. (Fospar). Fospar owns and operates an SSP granulation plant, which produces approximately 0.5 million tonnes of SSP per year, and a deep-water port and throughput warehouse terminal facility in Paranagua, Brazil. The port facility at Paranagua handles approximately 3.6 million tonnes of imported crop nutrients. In 2023, Mosaic Fertilizantes sold approximately 9.7 million tonnes of crop nutrient products and accounted for approximately 20% of fertilizer shipments in Brazil. The company has the capability to annually produce approximately 4.5 million tonnes of phosphate- and potash-based crop nutrients and animal feed ingredients. Crop nutrient products produced are marketed to crop nutrient manufacturers, distributors, retailers and farmers. In addition to producing crop nutrients, Mosaic Fertilizantes purchases phosphates, potash and nitrogen products which are either used to produce blended crop nutrients (Blends) or for resale. In 2023, Mosaic Fertilizantes purchased 1.4 million tonnes of phosphate-based products, primarily MicroEssentials, from its Phosphates segment, and 2.1 million tonnes of potash products from its Potash segment and Canpotex. Phosphate Crop Nutrients and Animal Feed Ingredients The company's Brazilian phosphates operations have capacity to produce approximately 1.1 million tonnes of P2O5 per year, or about 70% of Brazilian annual capacity. Phosphoric acid is produced by reacting ground phosphate rock with sulfuric acid. P2O5 is the key building block for the production of high analysis or concentrated phosphate crop nutrients and animal feed products and is the most comprehensive measure of phosphate capacity and production and a commonly used benchmark in the company's industry. The company's Brazilian phosphoric acid production totaled approximately 1.0 million tonnes in 2023 and accounted for approximately 84% of Brazilian annual output. The company's principal phosphate crop nutrient products are: Monoammonium Phosphate (11-52-0) (MAP): MAP is a crop nutrient composed of two macronutrients, nitrogen and phosphoric acid. This slurry is added inside a rotary drum type granulator with ammonia to complete the neutralization reaction and produce MAP. Triple superphosphate (TSP): TSP is a highly concentrated phosphate crop nutrient. TSP is produced from the phosphate rock reaction with phosphoric acid in a kuhlmann type reactor. The process for the production of TSP in Brazil is run of pile where the product undergoes a curing process of approximately seven days for later granulation. Single superphosphate (SSP): SSP is a crop nutrient with a low concentration of phosphorus that is used in agriculture because of the sulfur content in its formulation. SSP is produced from mixing phosphate rock with sulfuric acid in a kuhlmann or malaxador type reactor. After the reaction, the product goes to the curing process and then feeds the granulation units. Dicalcium phosphate (DCP): Dicalcium phosphate is produced by the reaction of desulphurized phosphoric acid with limestone. At Uberaba, it is produced from the reaction of concentrated phosphoric acid with limestone slurry. At Cajati, the phosphoric acid is diluted with dry limestone. The reaction of the DCP occurs in a kuhlmann or spinden type reactor. The company's primary mines and chemical plants are located in the states of Minas Gerais, São Paulo, and Goias. Production of its animal feed ingredients products is located at its Uberaba, Minas Gerais and Cajati, São Paulo facilities. The company markets its feed phosphate primarily under the brand name Foscálcio. The phosphoric acid produced at Cajati is used to produce DCP. The phosphoric acid produced at Uberaba is used to produce MAP, TSP and DCP. The company produced approximately 2.6 million tonnes of concentrated phosphate crop nutrients during 2023 which accounted for approximately 48% of estimated Brazilian annual production. Phosphate Rock Phosphate rock is the key mineral used to produce phosphate crop nutrients and animal feed product. The company's phosphate rock production in Brazil totaled approximately 3.9 million tonnes in 2023, which accounted for approximately 70% of estimated Brazilian annual production. The company is the largest producer of phosphate rock in Brazil and currently have an annual capacity of approximately 4.6 million tonnes. During 2023, the company operated five properties; Araxá, Patrocínio and Tapira, in the state of Minas Gerais; Catalão, in the state of Goiás; and Cajati, in the state of São Paulo. Production of one tonne of MAP requires 1.6 to 1.7 tonnes of phosphate rock. Production of one tonne of SSP requires between 0.6 to 0.7 tonnes of phosphate rock. Production of one tonne of TSP requires 1.4 tonnes of phosphate rock. Sulfur The company uses molten sulfur at its phosphates concentrates plants to produce sulfuric acid, one of the key components used in the production of phosphoric acid. The company consumed approximately 1.2 million long tons of sulfur for its own production during 2023. The company purchases approximately 21% of the volume under annual supply agreements from oil and natural gas refiners, who are required to remove or recover sulfur during the refining process. The remaining 79% is purchased in the spot market. Sulfur is imported through the Tiplam port and transported by rail to the Uberaba plant and by truck to the Araxá and Cajati locations. Ammonia The company uses ammonia, together with phosphoric acid, to produce MAP, and to a lesser extent for SSP production. The company consumed approximately 129,710 tonnes of ammonia during 2023. Production of one tonne of MAP requires approximately 0.137 tonnes of ammonia. Ammonia is imported through the Tiplam port and transported by truck to Uberaba, Araxá and Catalão. The company owns approximately 1% of the Tiplam terminal in Santos, São Paulo. The company's ownership percentage, along with a contractual agreement, guarantee it unloading priority for ammonia and also provides it unloading capacity for rock, sulfur and crop nutrients. Brazilian Potash The company conducts potash operations through the leased Taquari-Vassouras shaft mine, which is the only potash mine in Brazil, located in Rosário do Catete in the Brazilian state of Sergipe. The company also owns a related refinery at the site. The company produces and sells potash product domestically. MOP is the primary source of potassium for the crop nutrient industry in Brazil. Red MOP has traces of iron oxide. The granular and standard grade red MOP products are well-suited for direct fertilizer application and bulk blending. The company's potash product is marketed in Brazil to crop nutrient manufacturers, distributors and retailers and is also used in the manufacturing of crop nutrients. Land Holdings Mosaic Fertilizantes owns properties and the surface rights of certain rural lands comprising over 34,000 hectares (84,000 acres) in the states of São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Goiás, Paraná, Mato Grosso, Santa Catarina, Bahia and Sergipe, and has the right to mine additional properties which contain phosphate rock or potash reserves. Most of the company's land holdings are needed to operate its phosphate and potash production and fertilizer distribution businesses. India and China Distribution Businesses The company's China and India distribution businesses market phosphate-, potash- and nitrogen-based crop nutrients and provide other ancillary services to wholesalers, cooperatives, independent retailers, and farmers in the Asia-Pacific regions.
