Global food security is one of the mostpressing issues of our time and calls for thejudicious use of resources, as well as aninnovative spirit. Today’s crop nutrients areresponsible for 40% to 60% of global cropyields, and Mosaic’s products play a crucialrole in meeting the global demand for food.Our worldwide research programs focus onthe development of new products for thespecific soil characteristics in different partsof the world, such as Mosaic’s proprietaryMicroEssentials line, which is designed tohelp farmers make the most of every inch offarmland.

Likewise, the dealers whodistribute our fertilizers and the vendors whosupport our operations are meaningfulcontributors to the economic vitality of therural and regional communities where theyoperate. Additionally, participants in TheMosaic Villages Project receive no-interestloans to buy fertilizer at planting, and repaythe loans through the sale of surplus yield atharvest. Fertilizer acts as an injection ofcapital to the region, helping farmers breakthe cycle of poverty that has gripped thesedeveloping regions of the world. Participantsin The Mosaic Villages Project have reportedthat, on average, yields have increasedthree to five times over that of traditionalfarming practices. Furthermore, many ofMosaic’s charitable community investmentsare focused on supporting hunger relief incommunities and providing access toemergency food systems. Studies show thatchildren who have sustained hunger havereduced abilities and capacity to learn inschool. Access to regular food improveseducational outcomes.

The 2013 Areawide Environmental ImpactStatement (AEIS) for continued phosphatemining in the Central Florida PhosphateDistrict that was administered by the ArmyCorps of Engineers studied the economicimpact of Mosaic’s continued operations inthe region. The evaluation includedEmployment, Labor Compensation, Value ofProduction or Output, and Value Added. Itconcluded that the indirect economic impactof continued Mosaic mining in the CentralFlorida region over the next 50 years will be$1.4 billion. Furthermore, according to a2013 study by the Port of Tampa of theport’s 2012 fiscal year, the phosphateindustry accounted for more than $10 billionof the port’s $15.1 billion annual economicactivity; supported more than half of theport’s 80,000 direct, indirect and relatedjobs; and created more than half of the10,573 direct jobs at the port from themovement of phosphate rock and rawmaterials, as well as crop nutrition andanimal feed supplies and products.

In 2014, Mosaic partnered with theprovince of Saskatchewan, city of Reginaand the Saskatchewan Roughriders FootballClub to support construction of a newstadium in Regina. The stadium is the heartof a larger revitalization initiative for thedowntown area. Mosaic Stadium will attractworld-class sports, concerts and events thatwill bring economic opportunities for the cityand province.
