Mississippi Phosphates Corporation’s production facility is located in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and employs approximately 220 people.  Mississippi Phosphates has the capacity to produce approximately 750,000 tons of diammonium phosphate (DAP) annually based on sulfuric acid produced at the site and approximately 870,000 tons annually if supplemental sulfuric acid is available for purchase.  Two-thirds to three-quarters of this product is sold domestically, with the balance exported, primarily to Latin America.  The Company’s export sales are marketed through Transammonia, Inc., a major global trading company.  Mississippi Phosphates’ deep-water port facility on the Gulf of Mexico allows the Company to load ships for export directly from the plant site.  Domestic sales of DAP are handled through the company’s internal sales staff and are distributed by rail, truck and barge.
