The St. James facility directly employs about 164 people. Their total payroll is $9,000,000. In addition, the facility is one of the largest taxpayers in St. James Parish --- helping to support local education, build roads and bridges and keep our local police and fire departments operating. While ammonia is probably best known as a household cleaning product, about 80 percent of all ammonia produced is used to make nitrogen fertilizers. Because of ammonia fertilizers, farmers have healthier crops and higher yields and are able to produce enough food to feed the world’s population. In addition to ammonia, our facility also produces diammonium phosphate, monoammonium phosphate, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, and urea fertilizer. Mosaic Phosphates also contributes thousands of dollars and our employees volunteer hundreds of hours to support local programs and community activities. Environmental and safety performance are top priorities, and we are always looking for ways to improve. Since 1987, Mosaic Phosphates has reduced emissions to the air, land and water by 92 percent, which was accomplished by upgrading production process and implementing innovative recycling and reusing technologies. Our employees also participate in routine safety training programs and drills, and continuous monitoring ensures that our operations are run smoothly and efficiently for our employees and the community.
