The Ambassador of the United States of America to Canada, David Cohen and the US Consul General, Holly Waeger Monster, toured Mosaic’s Belle Plaine facility in July during their visit to Saskatchewan. It was also an opportunity to meet the people who produce the potash that US farmers and industrial users depend on.   

The Ambassador and Consul General spent time with Mosaic team members to learn more about Belle Plaine’s unique white products and the solution mining process. The Ambassador was briefed on the recent port strike and how it impacts potash supply chains into international markets, global potash market dynamics, and the company’s sustainability efforts, including Mosaic’s 2040 company-wide net zero target. The Ambassador and Consul General then toured Mosaic’s lab, refinery and a product warehouse.  

Earlier in July, Sarah Fedorchuk, VP Public Affairs and Government Relations, North America and Tyler Hopson, Government and Stakeholder Relations Manager, met with the Ambassador at his July 4th celebration in Ottawa. Tyler and Sarah attended the gathering to show Mosaic's support for trade relations and cooperation between the U.S. and Canada.
