The Mosaic Company

The Mosaic Company was formed in October 2004 by a merger between IMC Global, a fertilizer company formed in 1909, and Cargill's crop nutrition division. It is a combined producer and marketer of concentrated phosphate and potash with a customer base which includes wholesalers, retail dealers and individual growers worldwide. Its headquarters are in Tampa and it employs approximately 13,000 people in eight countries. ==Products==

Potash Mosaic has approximately 10.4 million tons of operational potash capacity. Esterhazy K3 does not have surface milling and storage facilities. Instead it is intended to replace the ore being mined from the K1 and K2 mine. The shift in production will decrease brine management costs of the K1 and K2 mine, which were $108.0 million for 2020. Mosaic is a member of Canpotex, an export association of Canadian potash producers through which they sell their Canadian potash outside the U.S. and Canada. Potash mines locations: • Carlsbad, New Mexico () • Belle Plaine, Saskatchewan () • Colonsay, Saskatchewan () • Esterhazy, Saskatchewan K1 () • Esterhazy, Saskatchewan K2 () • Esterhazy, Saskatchewan K3 () Phosphate Mosaic has approximately 16.8 million tons of operational capacity for finished concentrated phosphates. In October, 2013, Mosaic reached an agreement to purchase the phosphate operations of CF Industries for 1.4 billion dollars, which eliminates the need for Mosaic to spend an additional billion dollars to build a processing facility in Hardee County, Florida to process the rock from their mines in the area. Phosphate mines are located in the Bone Valley Formation of the Peace River watershed in Central Florida: ==Carbon footprint==
