The Mosaic Co. today confirmed persistent reports within the fertilizer industry that it was undergoing a reorganization with job cuts. “We have made difficult decisions to reduce our workforce to ensure Mosaic will be as competitive as possible in all parts of the business cycle, including the challenging current environment,” Ben Pratt, Mosaic vice president, corporate public affairs, told Green Markets. “This reorganization of our corporate functions moves more decision-making to our business units and flattens the organization to make Mosaic more efficient. We have been careful to affect as few people as possible.” Pratt did not elaborate further, however, industry sources said the number of cuts they had heard was somewhere in the 150-185 range.
