  10. Slide 10: Value proposition: financially strong, low cost, diversified

    Our value proposition starts with becoming financially strong. Cargill’s crop nutrition business was contributed with very little debt. Thus, Mosaic’s credit ratings have improved versus IMC’s prior ratings and we intend to further strengthen the balance sheet to achieve investment grade ratings. We

  22. Slide 22: Import demand forecast commentary

    In 2005, world processed phosphate import demand is projected to decline by around 2% to 21 million metric tonnes. Brazil has been a slow market in 2005 but this has been partially offset by growth in Asia, particularly India and Pakistan. In 2006, world import demand is forecast to decline by about

  24. Slide 24: Asian demand commentary

    A key factor in the phosphates market in 2005 has been the strong Asian demand. As already noted, we are seeing a large increase in India’s and Pakistan’s imports. This has been due to strong GDP growth and good monsoons resulting in strong demand growth. In 2005, imports from these countries are pr

  26. Slide 26: Brazil imports commentary

    In 2003 and 2004, Brazil showed remarkable growth in imports of 47% and 14% respectively. However, imports are expected to decline 40% in 2005 due to the appreciation of the real, lower soybean prices, higher input costs and a severe drought in Southern Brazil. We are projecting a modest recovery in

  28. Slide 28: Export supply commentary

    The U.S. phosphate industry exported 12 million tonnes of processed phosphate per year during the last half of the 1990s. These exports have dropped to the 9.2 to 9.4 million tonne range since 2000. As already noted, world phosphate trade is expected to decline 2% in 2005. U.S. processed phosphate e

  30. Slide 30: Industry capacity and production cutbacks

    We estimate that Industry capacity will decline by about 1.2 million tonnes of finished phosphate fertilizer and assist in bringing the phosphate market to a balanced situation in 2006. This is, in part, due to the recent closure of the U.S. Agri-Chemical plant in Florida. In addition, Mississippi P

  32. Slide 32: Phosphoric acid operating rate commentary

    Phosphoric acid is the most comprehensive measure of phosphate production. After bottoming at 78% of capacity in 2000/01, the U.S. phosphoric acid operating rate has climbed steadily to the mid-90% range today. This trend is the result of both permanent plant closures as well as increases in acid pr

  34. Slide 34: DAP price commentary

    Now let’s look at phosphate prices. DAP prices have been on the rise for the last three years and reached $265 per tonne fob Tampa in July. Prices have remained at these high levels due largely to strong demand from India and Pakistan and the tightening supply/demand balance in the global phosphate

  42. Slide 42: Potash cost structure and Esterhazy expansion

    Mosaic has a good cost structure in this industry, as do all of the Saskatchewan potash producers. Our one higher-cost potash mine produces a profitable specialty product. We have previously announced a 500,000 tonne per year expansion at our Esterhazy mine which is expected to be onstream by the en

  44. Slide 44: Potash production share commentary

    In 2004 Mosaic produced 15.4% of the world’s potash products, about the same as PCS. However, Mosaic produced approximately 580,000 tonnes K2O for PCS in 2004 or almost 2% of the world’s production. So, if you consider the tons toll-produced for PCS, we were the world’s largest potash producer in 20

  45. Slide 45: Mosaic Announces Lower Potash Production and Sales Volume

    Mosaic Announces Lower Potash Production and Sales Volume Production reduced by approximately 200,000 million tonnes per annum • Downtime during the upcoming holiday period • Lower production at Belle Plaine to reduce high-cost natural gas consumption Mosaic Potash sales guidance reduced by 400,000

  46. Slide 46: Potash production reduction commentary

    Consistent with my prior comments relating to our Phosphate segment, Mosaic recently announced plans to reduce potash production by about 200,000 tonnes, by taking downtime during the upcoming holiday period. In addition we will reduce production rates at our Belle Plaine plant, which is a large con

  48. Slide 48: Potash price commentary

    Potash prices are at record high levels. Prices were historically quite stable from 1990 to 2002, but the supply/demand situation tightened over the last three years because of high world demand growth. Therefore, prices have steadily climbed since mid-2003. Demand growth was initially strong in Lat
