# Mosaic - The Mosaic Company Announces Reduction in Phosphate Production

> The Mosaic Company said it will cut its spring phosphate production by 300,000 tons at its Florida and Louisiana facilities. The cut is attributed to continued U.S. weather concerns and higher-than-normal carryover inventories from the fall. Mosaic said current margins do not reflect balanced market conditions.

## Why it matters

A supply reduction of this size from a major phosphate producer tightens U.S. DAP availability for spring and supports DAP prices. Higher phosphate costs raise feed phosphate ingredient costs for livestock producers.
