economic impact and operating impacts of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the potential drop in oil demand/production and its impact on the availability and price of sulfur,

political and economic instability in Brazil or changes in government policy in Brazil, such as higher costs associated with the new mining rules or the implementation of new freight

tables; 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 economic and credit market conditions; the level of inventories in the distribution channels for crop nutrients; the effect of future product innovations or

development of new technologies on demand for our products; changes in foreign currency and exchange rates; international trade risks and other risks associated with Mosaic’s

international operations and those of joint ventures in which Mosaic participates, including the performance of the Wa’ad Al Shamal Phosphate Company (also known as MWSPC), the

timely development and commencement of operations of production facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and the future success of current plans for MWSPC and any future

changes in those plans; difficulties with realization of the benefits of our long term natural gas based pricing ammonia supply agreement with CF Industries, Inc., including the risk that

2020F Comments

China 14.4 15.9 14.8 15.2

Transportation constraints at the start of the season, owing to the COVID-19 outbreak, have resulted in a downward revision to on-farm use

for the spring season. While delays seen in settling a new contract could act as a drag on overall imports for the year, we see this as low

risk given that the generally low pricing level should prompt significant buying activity to meet current needs as well as replenish the

country’s strategic reserves that were drawn down in April.

India 4.6 4.0 4.2 4.5

COVID-19 movement restrictions have introduced transportation issues with the Rabi harvest, though strong yields have kept farmer

sentiment neutral to positive going forward. Low price expectations for the likely-imminent contract settlement offset the cut to the potash

subsidy and the decline in the rupee, and coupled with lower carry-in inventory (8% lower y-o-y in April) should result in a rebound of import

demand. This is supported by reservoirs at well-above average levels and a forecast for a normal monsoon.

Indonesia &

Malaysia5.3 4.1 4.1 4.5

We have scaled back our expectations for a rebound in shipments by about half a million tonnes, principally due to the sharp fall in crude oil

pricing that has pulled palm oil prices down as well (from ~2700 MYR/t in mid-Feb to about 2100 end-April). CPO demand has also been

curbed due to reduced biodiesel use in the face of COVID-19 movement restrictions. That noted, we continue to project a rebound in MOP

buying activity in the second half of the year.

Other Asia 4.8 4.4 4.5 4.7Like Indo/Malay, we have tempered our demand expectations in the region, though not as significantly. This is due two rather positive

offsets across the region, namely more favorable weather and the dramatic rise in rice prices this year (up ~30% YTD).

W. Europe 4.8 4.5 4.4 4.7Preliminary indications are that application rates were slightly lower in the spring season, while industrial use also slowed. We now expect

shipments to end the year on par with 2019 levels (which were revised lower), rather than a return to the historical norm of 4.8-4.9mmt.

E. Europe & FSU 5.5 5.8 5.9 6.2Spring demand in the region bested expectations, particularly Russia, as growth in the agricultural sector continues, prompting an upward

revision to our forecast. We continue to monitor dry conditions in parts of the region that could slow shipments in H2.

Brazil 10.4 10.6 10.4 10.7Demand prospects in Brazil remain very good, as currency weakness has benefitted farm economics. However, we have modestly lowered

our total shipments forecast in order to facilitate a drawdown of channel inventories and now anticipate imports slipping back slightly from

last year’s 10.2mmt level.

Other L. America 3.1 2.6 2.8 3.0Shipments in the rest of Latin America look to increase moderately due to generally favorable farm economics, but this is from a

downwardly-revised 2019 estimate and leaves our 2020 forecast below shipment levels seen in 2018.

N. America 10.4 9.0 9.6 10.0As anticipated, we are seeing very good on-farm demand for fertilizers this spring in North America, in stark contrast to the weather-

interrupted seasons last year. This dynamic is clearing out channel inventories and sets the stage for rising shipments to replenish supplies

for the fall, though in light of uncertainties around corn pricing in particular we have moderated our forecast.

Other 3.1 2.8 2.8 2.9 Demand growth is expected to remain sluggish, particularly in Africa as a result of COVID-19 impacts.

Total 66.4 63.7 63.5 66.4We have revised lower our forecast range by 2mmt and now anticipate global shipments in the range of 64-66mmt, and have lowered our

point estimate similarly to 64.9mmt. This represents y-o-y demand growth of 1.2mmt or 1.9%, from a downwardly-revised 2019 estimate of

63.7mmt (~700,000 tonnes lower than our February estimate).

2020F Comments

China 18.7 17.6 16.9 17.4

Preliminary indications on the spring season show that phosphate demand is stabilizing, with DAP demand indicated to be flat-to-higher y-o-y.

Consumption of MAP via NPKs, however, appears to be down modestly. With China looking to rebuild food reserves, as noted by reports of

their intention to make large import purchases of various ag commodities, we also believe that support to the domestic ag sector will promote a

stabilization of domestic phosphate demand. DAP/MAP/TSP exports in the first four months of the year are estimated to be down around 400-

500,000 tonnes y-o-y (-130,000 tonnes in Q1 after a record-setting March export lineup).

India 9.9 10.5 9.8 10.1

Our projection for 2020 is unchanged, though product sourcing will shift towards greater imported DAP/NPs/NPKs in response to the

numerous temporary shutdowns and ongoing curtailments in response to COVID-19 restrictions, at the expense of domestic production. Last

year’s above average monsoon (110% of the long period average) and off-season rains have reservoir levels well above normal (+63% versus

last year), and with a normal monsoon predicted for this year, this has kept farmer sentiment generally positive despite recent issues with

logistics that have hindered the Rabi harvest and bringing those crops to market. Notably, in-country DAP sales Jan-Apr are 26% higher y-o-y,

with lower international prices offsetting the impact of the reduction in subsidy and weaker FX as we move into the new ferti lizer year.

Other Asia/Oceania 10.1 10.1 10.2 10.6

Weak palm oil production economics and COVID-19 movement restrictions are expected to be more than offset by excellent rice production

economics and an outlook for a more-normal weather pattern in SE Asia. In addition, a DAP subsidy in Pakistan (expected to be >$100/t) and

the end to drought conditions in Australia result in a sharp uplift to shipment prospects in those geographies.

Europe and FSU 5.8 6.1 6.0 6.3We have lowered our outlook for European shipments after a reportedly disappointing spring season. This has been offset by continued

growth in the FSU, though the continuation or intensification of dryness in parts of the region is a risk for the second half.

Brazil 8.5 8.8 8.8 9.1

The ag sector continues to perform very well, boosted by currency weakness. Despite the country’s heavy reliance on imported fertilizers,

made less affordable due to the currency move, this is being more than offset by strong ag commodity demand and prices driven by record

exports (mainly to China), and we have not seen any indications of affordability or credit issues curbing demand.

Other Latin America 3.7 3.7 3.6 3.8Generally favorable farm economics have resulted in strong buying activity early in 2020, but we have revised our forecast sl ightly lower (and

from a lower historical base), primarily on a reduced outlook for Argentina due to government intervention (export taxes).

North America 10.2 9.7 9.7 10.0

As with potash, we have seen strong on-farm demand for phosphate this spring, versus the weather-interrupted seasons last year. This, along

with lower imports Jan-Apr (down ~250,000t y-o-y) has cleared out channel inventories and sets the stage for rising shipments to replenish

supplies for the fall. We are cautious on forward demand given the recent weakness in corn prices in particular, though the corn demand

impact of lower ethanol production should be at least partly offset by higher exports, and farmer balance sheets will be boosted by government

support payments.

Other 5.2 4.2 4.2 4.5We have pared back our forecast for a shipment rebound in Africa, given current uncertainties related to macroeconomic headwinds, though

the large-volume shipments into East Africa to start the year limits the overall downside volume risk.

Total 72.2 70.7 69.2 71.8

We have lowered our forecast range by 2mmt at the low end and 1mmt at the high end to 69-72mmt, thus widening the range of likely

outcomes due to the new uncertainties in the market related to COVID-19. Our point estimate is reduced by about a million tonnes to

71.0mmt, representing modest 0.4% y-o-y growth.

prior to demand stepping back in

2019).
