Mosaic is a US-based producer of phosphate and nitrogen fertilizers, potash and animal feed products. Its business is to improve crop yields and livestock nutrition through mining, manufacturing, marketing and distributing fertilizers worldwide. 
The expansion of its Esterhazy potash mine will allow Mosaic to maintain its market share as global shipments recover. The company believes that potash fundamentals remain solid and that its potash business segment will continue to provide an excellent platform for growth.
Mosaic has restructured its phosphates business by closing its most costly operations. Its goal for the restructured phosphates business is to run the remaining plants at capacity, which should result in lower unit costs and improved margins.
Mosaic has around 7,400 employees with headquarters in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US, and had net sales of $10.3bn in the year ended 31 May 2009.
ICIS Chemical Business magazine has unveiled the ICIS Top 100 Chemical Companies, with rankings based on 2008 sales.

Mosaic
Company Structure
Mosaic is a US-based producer of phosphate and nitrogen fertilizers, potash and animal feed products. Mosaic was created in October 2004 through the integration of the business and assets of the Cargill Crop Nutrition business units of privately held Cargill and with the business of IMC Global (IMC). IMC Global dates back to 1909 when entrepreneur Thomas Meadows started in the phosphate mining business. In 1940 the company mined 50,000 tonne of potash from its Carlsbad, New Mexico plant.

Strategy & Financial Highlights
Mosaic states that fiscal year 2009 “tested” the company to a new level, due to the effects of the global economic crisis. This led to a sharp decline in US phosphate and potash use in fiscal 2009 and, as a consequence, reduced demand for Mosaic products. ICIS also provides you with key financial data listed in table form.
