The Mosaic Company Releases Inaugural Sustainability Report

2009 Sustainability Report Details Mosaic's Commitment to Helping the World
Grow the Food It Needs

PLYMOUTH, Minn. Nov. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Mosaic Company (NYSE:
MOS) today announced it has completed a thorough, company-wide sustainability
assessment and published an inaugural sustainability report summarizing key
economic, social, agricultural, and environmental initiatives.

The report, available at www.mosaicco.com/sustainability/report, measures
Mosaic's progress on sustainability performance indicators established by the
independent Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). It also outlines Mosaic's
sustainability goals for the years to come.

"Mosaic is one of the world's leading producers of essential phosphate and
potash crop nutrients, and it is our mission to help the world grow the food
it needs," said Jim Prokopanko, Mosaic's President and Chief Executive
Officer. "To achieve our mission, we are incorporating sustainability
principles into every aspect of our business. We are also setting ambitious
new goals for the future."

Among the report highlights, Mosaic has:
-- Reduced by 23% the total direct energy consumption of its U.S.
operations since 2005;
-- Used hydroelectric sources for nearly 100% of its power in Brazil;
-- Generated nearly 50% of the electrical load needed to run its Florida
operations on its own -- enough energy savings to power 100,000 homes;
-- Reclaimed 2,483 acres of land in fiscal 2009; and

-- Recycled 95% of all water used in its Florida mining facilities.

"We are proud of our performance," Prokopanko said, "but this is only the
beginning of Mosaic's efforts. As we meet new sustainability metrics, we will
continue to report our progress on an annual basis."
