Mosaic is a leader in the potash industry with annual capacity of 10.5 million tonnes of product per year, which accounts for approximately 12% of world annual capacity and 41% of North American annual capacity. Production during 2015 totaled 8.4 million tonnes, or approximately 13% of estimated world annual production and 43% of estimated North American annual production.

In 2015, we operated three potash mines in Canada, including two shaft mines with a total of three production shafts and one solution mine, as well as one potash shaft mine in the United States. We also own related refineries at each of the mines. Construction of our new Saskatchewan potash operation, Esterhazy K3, remains on budget, on time and on track to start producing ore in 2017. Following ramp-up, Esterhazy K3 is expected to add an estimated 0.9 million tonnes to our annual potash operational capacity.

With annual capacity greater than the next two largest producers combined, Mosaic is one of the world’s largest producers of finished phosphate products. We own and operate mines and production facilities in Florida which produce concentrated phosphate crop nutrients and phosphate-based animal feed ingredients, and processing plants in Louisiana, which produce concentrated phosphate crop nutrients.

Our U.S. phosphates operations have capacity to produce approximately 5.3 million tonnes of phosphoric acid, and approximately 17.2 million tonnes of phosphate rock, the key mineral used to produce phosphate crop nutrients and feed phosphate. Approximately one-third of our phosphate products are shipped within North America, with the remainder exported globally through our own distribution channels.
