Insights

Mosaic's new $84M Brazil facility strengthens distribution in high-growth region with 20%+ IRR, supporting ambitious expansion from 8M to 13-14M tonnes by 2030.

Mosaic's new $84 million blending, storage and distribution facility in Palmeirante represents a strategic expansion in Brazil's northern agricultural frontier. The facility's 1 million tonne annual processing capacity (with 50% utilization expected in 2025) positions Mosaic to capitalize on the growing MATOPIBA agricultural region.

The investment metrics are particularly compelling, with expected margins of $30-$40 per tonne generating an internal rate of return exceeding 20%. This high-return capital allocation demonstrates management's focus on profitable growth rather than expansion for its own sake.

Mosaic has explicitly tied this investment to its larger Brazilian growth strategy, projecting distribution sales to increase from under 8 million tonnes in 2024 to 13-14 million tonnes by decade's end—a ~75% growth trajectory. The facility's direct rail connection to Port Itaqui creates logistical efficiencies that should sustain these attractive margins.

Completing this project on time and within budget demonstrates solid execution capabilities. The automated blending systems and quality control technology should support operational efficiency while serving a region where agricultural productivity is rapidly increasing. This facility strengthens Mosaic's vertical integration in Brazil, enhancing its ability to capture value across the fertilizer supply chain in one of the world's most important agricultural markets.

TAMPA, FL / / July 16, 2025 / The Mosaic Company (NYSE:MOS) continues to execute on its strategy to leverage market access and announced today that its new blending, storage and distribution plant in Palmeirante, Tocantins, Brazil, will begin operations this month. An inauguration ceremony, hosted by Mosaic Executive Vice President, Commercial Jenny Wang, is being held today with state and local officials.

The plant increases blending capacity and expands Mosaic's presence in the fast-growing northern region of Brazil. With a capacity to process 1 million tonnes of fertilizer annually, and approximately 500,000 tonnes in 2025, the Palmeirante facility will be a key contributor to Mosaic's ambitious growth plans in Brazil. Distribution sales are expected to grow from less than 8 million tonnes in 2024 to 13-14 million tonnes by the end of the decade.

The $84 million investment in the Palmeirante facility has been completed on time and within budget. The facility is expected to earn a margin of $30-$40 per tonne-generating an anticipated internal rate of return in excess of 20 percent and demonstrating the company's commitment to capital allocation execution and reallocation in pursuit of strong shareholder returns.

"The inauguration of our new plant in Palmeirante represents meaningful progress for Mosaic," said Executive Vice President, Commercial Jenny Wang. "Brazil is an agricultural powerhouse, and Mosaic has been a leader in the market for many years. We are providing farmers in the MATOPIBA region with more efficient access to the fertilizers they need and expanding Mosaic's presence in a key growing region."

The facility includes significant warehouse capacity, automated blending and bagging systems, and a direct rail connection to the port of Itaqui-reducing logistics costs and providing state-of-the-art quality control technology.
