What Mosaic does
The Mosaic Company is one of the world's largest vertically integrated producers of concentrated phosphate and potash crop nutrients, formed in 2004 through the merger of IMC Global and Cargill's phosphate business and headquartered in Tampa, Florida. The company mines, manufactures, and distributes phosphate products (DAP, MAP, MicroEssentials, Aspire, Sus-Terra) from operations in Florida, Louisiana, and Brazil, and potash products (K-Mag, Pegasus) primarily from its Esterhazy K1, K2, and K3 mines in Saskatchewan, Canada. Its product portfolio is increasingly differentiated by patented slow-release and enhanced-efficiency formulations (MicroEssentials Fusion Technology, Sus-Terra EEF designation) and by the 2023-launched Mosaic Biosciences platform, which delivers biological inputs such as PowerCoat and BioPath for nutrient use efficiency and abiotic stress mitigation.
