# Mosaic swings to loss in Q3 2026 on phosphate cost challenges

> Mosaic reported a $72 million net loss in Q3 2026, compared with net income of $411 million a year earlier, citing lower sales volumes and high phosphate costs. A shortage of affordable sulphur led the company to curtail phosphate production in the US and Brazil; production issues at its Esterhazy mine also lowered its full-year potash guidance.
