May 4 (Reuters) - U.S. fertilizer company Mosaic Co MOS.N
reported a nearly 13 percent fall in quarterly profit on
Wednesday, hampered by weak potash and phosphate prices.
The net profit attributable to the world's largest producer
of finished phosphate products fell to $256.8 million, or 73
cents per share, in the first quarter ended March 31, from
$294.8 million, or 80 cents per share, a year earlier.
Net sales fell 21.7 percent to $1.67 billion.
