Safe Harbor Statement
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Such statements include, but are
not limited to, statements about
future financial and operating results.  Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and
expectations of The Mosaic Company’s management and are subject to significant risks and
uncertainties.
These risks and uncertainties include but are not limited to the
predictability and volatility of, and
customer expectations about, agriculture, fertilizer, raw material, energy and transportation markets
that are subject to competitive and other  pressures and the effects of the current economic and
financial turmoil; the build-up of inventories in the distribution channels for crop nutrients; changes in
foreign currency and exchange rates; international trade risks; changes in government policy;
changes in environmental and other governmental regulation, including greenhouse gas regulation;
difficulties or delays in receiving, or increased costs of, necessary governmental permits or
approvals; the effectiveness of our processes for managing our strategic priorities; adverse weather
conditions affecting operations in Central Florida or the Gulf Coast of the United States, including
potential hurricanes or excess rainfall; actual costs of asset retirement, environmental remediation,
reclamation or other environmental regulation differing from management’s current estimates;
accidents and other disruptions involving Mosaic’s operations, including brine inflows at its
Esterhazy, Saskatchewan potash mine and other  potential mine fires, floods, explosions, seismic
events or releases of hazardous or volatile chemicals, as well as other risks and uncertainties
reported from time to time in The Mosaic Company’s reports filed with the Securities and Exchange

Long Term Outlook
Strong demand drivers still intact
Population and income growth
Further increases in grain-based biofuels production
Demand growth requires supply increases
Strong rebound of nutrient demand
Existing facilities required to operate at more “normal”
rates
Few new projects/expansion in the near term
Still high capital and operating costs
Long lead times before production
Significant economic and political risk in some regions
Key factors to watch
Stabilization of the global financial system
Global economic growth to fuel the food and energy demand story
Timing of the startup of new capacity
Government policies
Commitments to biofuels initiatives
Indian fertilizer subsidy
Chinese industrial and trade policies
Economic development policies elsewhere
