In plain English
Mosaic mines the two rocks that feed much of the world's crops: phosphate (dug in Florida, Brazil and Peru) and potash (mined deep under Saskatchewan). It cooks phosphate rock with sulphur and ammonia into the DAP/MAP granules farmers spread on fields, and — after buying Vale's Brazilian fertilizer business in 2018 — runs the biggest fertilizer production-and-distribution network in Brazil. Commodity prices swing hard, so its earnings do too.
