Unlocking the opportunities of a global market takes real-time insights — the kind you only get from having your own presence in the world's major agricultural centers.

When the goal of an enterprise is to serve a global market better than the competition, there is no substitute for having a physical presence in every key region around the world. At Mosaic, we staff our extensive worldwide distribution network with our own people in the world's most important agricultural areas. This distribution network includes manufacturing plants, blending and bagging facilities, port facilities and other distribution operations.

We ship our products to approximately 40 countries, and our participation in the world's largest potash and phosphate export associations provides shipping flexibility that allows us to maximize manufacturing operating rates — a key to maintaining our low-cost position. The superior level of market insight provided by our sales, marketing, agronomy and operations teams, including over 1,200 employees outside of North America, is a unique characteristic of our global presence.
