                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS




Plan Administrator
Investment Plan for Non-Union Hourly Employees of
  IMC Agrico MP, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets available for
benefits of the Investment Plan for Non-Union Hourly Employees of IMC-
Agrico MP, Inc. as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related
statements of changes in assets available for benefits for the years
then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the
financial statements.  An audit also includes assessing the accounting
principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well
as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the assets available for benefits of
the Plan at June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its assets
available for benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The accompanying
supplemental schedules of assets held for investment purposes as of
June 30, 1996, and reportable transactions for the year then ended, are
presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's
Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and are not a required part of
the basic financial statements.  The Fund Information in the statement
of assets available for benefits and the statement of changes in assets
available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis
rather than to present the assets available for benefits and changes in
assets available for benefits of each fund.  The supplemental schedules
and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in our audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.

            INVESTMENT PLAN FOR NON-UNION HOURLY EMPLOYEES
                        OF IMC-AGRICO MP, INC.
           ------------------------------------------------
                     NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     -----------------------------
                                   
1.  Description of the Plan
    -----------------------
  The following description of the Investment Plan for Non-Union Hourly
Employees of IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. (the Plan) provides only general
information.  Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more
complete description of the Plan's provisions.

General
- -------
  The Plan is a defined contribution plan established on July 1, 1993.
Non-union hourly employees of IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. (the Company),
managing partner of IMC-Agrico Company and jointly owned by IMC Global
Operations Inc. and Freeport-McMoRan Resource Partners, Limited
Partnership, are eligible to participate in the Plan upon completion of
one year of service.  Effective September 1, 1996, participation is
immediate.  While the Company has not expressed any intent to terminate
the Plan, it is free to do so at any time.

Contributions
- -------------

  The Plan is funded by contributions from participants in the form of
payroll deductions/salary reductions of up to 15 percent of
participants' base monthly salaries.  A participant may change the
amount of payroll deduction/salary reduction twice a year, as of July 1
or January 1, upon giving the required notice.  The Plan provides a
qualified cash or deferred arrangement within the meaning of Section
401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code (the IRC).  Salary reduction
contributions, elected by certain participants, may be reduced (or
refunded) to comply with certain non-discrimination requirements of
Section 401(k) or the limitations of Section 415 of the IRC.  In
addition, salary reduction contributions cannot exceed $9,500 in
calendar year 1996 ($9,240 in calendar year 1995).  The limitation on
salary reduction contributions can be adjusted or recharacterized as
after-tax contributions not to exceed the lesser of the 15 percent or
$9,500 ($9,240 in 1995) limits described above each July 1 and January
1 by the Employee Benefits Committee.  In addition, the Plan also is
funded by employer contributions, as determined by the Company's Board
of Directors, of not less than 20 percent of a participant's eligible
contributions, which are contributions that do not exceed 6 percent of
a participant's base monthly salary.  IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. may make
additional contributions each year as determined by its Board of
Directors.  Employer contributions are subject to certain limitations
imposed by Section 415 of the IRC.  Total employer contributions were
equal to 100 percent of participants' eligible contributions for the
year ended June 30, 1996 (125 percent for the year ended June 30,
1995).  Under certain circumstances, participants may rollover their
vested benefits from other plans to the Plan.

Participant Accounts
- --------------------
  Separate accounts are maintained for each participant.  Each
participant's account is adjusted for participant and employer
contributions, withdrawals, and fees, if any, interest, dividends and
net realized and unrealized gains or losses.

Administrative Expenses
- -----------------------
  Certain administrative expenses of the Plan are borne by the Company.

Investment Programs
- -------------------
  Since January 1, 1996, the Plan's investments are administered by
Marshall & Ilsley Trust Company under a trust agreement dated January
1, 1996.  Prior to that time the trustee was The Northern Trust
Company.  Investment programs available to participants are as follows:

   Equity Fund - Investments are made in shares of the Fidelity
   Equity-Income Fund, Inc., a mutual fund which invests at least 65
   percent of its assets in income producing equity securities.  The
   balance of the portfolio is invested in all types of domestic and
   foreign instruments, including bonds.

   Bond Fund - Investments are made in shares of the Bond Fund of
   America, Inc., a mutual fund which invests substantially all of the
   assets of the fund in marketable corporate debt securities, U.S.
   Government securities, mortgage related securities, other asset
   backed securities and cash or money market instruments.  Since
   January 1, 1996, these investments are made through a pooled fund,
   IMC-Agrico Bond Fund, shared only by IMC-Agrico MP Inc. 401(k)
   plans.

   Company Stock Fund - Investments are made solely in the common
   stock of IMC Global Inc.

   Fixed Income Fund - Since January 1, 1996, investments are made in
   shares of IMC-Agrico Fixed Income Fund, a pooled fund shared only

   investments of the Fixed Income Fund were managed by LaSalle Street
   Capital Management, Ltd.  Investments are made in guaranteed
   investment contracts (GICs) and, prior to January 1, 1996, in the
   LaSalle National Trust, N.A. Income Plus Fund.  The 1995 holdings

      income instruments.
   
   Money Market Fund - Investments are made in shares of the Vanguard
   Money Market Reserves, Inc. - Prime Portfolio, a mutual fund.  The
   Prime Portfolio invests in high quality money market obligations
   that mature in 13 months or less and include negotiable
   certificates of deposit, bankers' acceptances, commercial paper,
   short-term corporate obligations, short-term Eurodollar and Yankee
   bank obligations, U.S. Treasury obligations and securities issued
   or guaranteed by agencies and instrumentalities of the U.S.
   Government.

   Balanced Fund - Investments are made in shares of the Vanguard
   Wellington Fund, Inc., a mutual fund which invests in a diversified
   portfolio of 60-70 percent common stocks and 30-40 percent bonds.

   Growth Fund - Investments are made in shares of the Fidelity
   Magellan Fund, Inc. a mutual fund which invests in common stock and
   securities of domestic, foreign and multinational issuers.

   Loan Fund - Investments are loans made to participants as described
   below.

  Participants elect their desired investment program upon joining the
Plan.  Since April 1, 1996, they may elect to change the investment
direction of their existing account balances and their future
contributions daily.  Prior to that time, as of July 1, October 1,
January 1 and April 1 of any Plan year, upon giving prescribed notice,
participants could elect to transfer the investment direction of their
future contributions or their existing account balances in any fund or
funds at that date to any other fund, or in 25 percent increments to
any combination of funds.  Prior to January 1, 1996, participants could
not transfer funds between the Fixed Income Fund and the Bond Fund nor
between the Fixed Income Fund and the Money Market Fund.  The Balanced
Fund and Growth Fund investment programs were introduced to the Plan
effective July 1, 1994.  The Company Stock Fund investment program was
introduced to the Plan effective July 1,1995.  Loans were transferred
to the Loan Fund effective January 1, 1996.

Vesting
- -------
  All Plan participants are immediately and nonforfeitably vested in
their plan accounts.

Withdrawals
- -----------
  Participants may withdraw their interest in the Plan upon termination
of employment.  Subject to certain requirements and limitations,
participants may withdraw funds.  Most withdrawals made by
participants, including hardship withdrawals from their Salary
Reduction Accounts, will result in suspension of Plan participation for
at least one year.

  Except as noted below, participants will receive distribution of
their interest in the Plan in a lump sum payment.

Deferred Distributions
- ----------------------
  Participants who terminate their employment and are eligible for
early or normal retirement under any Company pension plan will be
permitted to elect, at any time prior to retirement, to defer receipt
of their Plan distributions until no later than their 70th birthday.
Participants electing deferral must:  (1) elect to receive their
distributions in: (a) a lump sum on the date of distribution, or (b) in
equal annual installments not to exceed ten, and (2) make an election
for the method of distribution in the event of their death prior to
total distribution.

  Participants who terminate their employment prior to eligibility for
early or normal retirement and whose Plan accounts exceed $3,500 must
consent to distribution of their accounts.  Participants may defer
receipt of their Plan distribution until no later than their 70th
birthday.

Loans to Participants
- ---------------------
  Participants in the Plan may be granted loans subject to certain
terms and maximum dollar or Plan account balance limits, as defined by
the Plan.  The amount of any such loan is borrowed from the account of
the participant to whom the loan was made and such account does not
share in the allocation of income, gains and losses of the investment
funds to the extent of the outstanding balance of such loan.  Principal
repayments, which are over one to five years for general purpose loans
and over one to ten years for residential loans, and related interest
income are credited to the borrowing participant's account.  Loan
payments are made by monthly payroll deductions.  Each loan bears
interest at the prevailing rate for loans of similar risk, date of
maturity and date of grant.


2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
    ------------------------------------------
Investment Valuation
- --------------------
  All investments are carried at fair value.  Fair value for shares of
master trust funds, mutual funds and LaSalle National Trust, N.A.
Income Plus Fund are carried at fair value which is the net asset value
of those shares, as determined by the respective funds.  Loans to
participants are valued at cost which approximates fair value.
Guaranteed investment contracts are carried at contract value.

Investment in Trusts
- --------------------
  As of January 1, 1996, investment assets of the Bond Fund, the
Company Stock Fund and the Fixed Income Fund were made in shares of
IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. pooled funds shared by other IMC-Agrico MP, Inc.
401(k) plans.  The Plan was a 48 percent, 10 percent and 44 percent,

5.  Federal Income Tax Status
    -------------------------
  The Internal Revenue Service ruled May 15, 1995 that the Plan
qualified under Section 401(a) of the IRC and, therefore, the related
trust is not subject to tax under present income tax law.  Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC
to maintain its qualification.  The Plan Administrator is not aware of
any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might
adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.
