                  Independent Auditors' Report


Plan Administrator
 Salary Reduction Plan for Hourly Employees
 Represented by Local #35 International Chemical Workers Union
 At Florida Minerals Operations of IMC-Agrico MP, Inc.


We   have  audited  the  accompanying  statement  of  net  assets
available  for benefits of the Salary Reduction Plan  for  Hourly
Employees Represented by Local #35 International Chemical Workers
Union at Florida Minerals Operations of IMC-Agrico MP, Inc. as of
December  31, 1999, and the related statement of changes  in  net
assets  available  for benefits for the year  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 audit. The financial statements
of  the  Plan  as  of December 31, 1998, were  audited  by  other
auditors whose report dated May 7, 1999, expressed an unqualified
opinion on those statements.

We  conducted  our  audit 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
audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In  our  opinion,  the  financial statements  referred  to  above
present  fairly,  in  all  material  respects,  the  net   assets
available  for benefits of the Plan as of December 31, 1999,  and
the  changes  in net assets available for benefits for  the  year
then  ended  in  conformity  with generally  accepted  accounting
principles.

Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion  on
the basic financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental
schedules  of assets held for investment purposes as of  December
31,  1999;  and loans or fixed income obligations and  reportable
transactions  for the year ended December 31, 1999, respectively,
are  presented for the purpose of additional analysis and are not
a  required  part  of  the  basic financial  statements  but  are
supplementary information required by the Department  of  Labor's
Rules and


                               -1-


<PAGE>

Regulations  for  Reporting  and Disclosure  under  the  Employee
Retirement  Income  Security  Act  of  1974.  These  supplemental
schedules  are  the responsibility of the Plan's management.  The
supplemental  schedules  have  been  subjected  to  the  auditing
procedures applied in the audit 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.

1.  Description of the Plan (Continued)

  Withdrawals

  Participants  may  withdraw their interest  in  the  Plan  upon
  termination   of  employment.  Under  certain   conditions   of
  financial  hardship, participants may withdraw  funds,  subject
  to  prior  approval  of  the Employee Benefits  Committee,  but
  their  participation in the Plan will be suspended for at least
  one  year. Full withdrawals are available after age 59 1/2 or in
  the  event  of  total  and  permanent  disability.  Subject  to
  limitations  specified  in  the Plan,  certain  withdrawals  of
  funds  transferred from other qualified benefits plans  can  be
  made by participants without penalty.

  Deferred Distributions

  Participants  who  terminate  their  employment  and  have   an
  account  balance  in excess of $5,000 may elect  (at  any  time
  prior  to  age  65) to defer receipt of 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 fifteen years for  residential
  loans,  and  related  interest  income  are  credited  to  the
  borrowing  participant's account. Loan payments  are  made  by
  weekly  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 (Continued)

  Trust,  N.A.  Income  Plus Fund, and the M&I  Stable  Principal
  Fund  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.

  Income Recognition

  Purchases  and  sales of securities are accounted  for  on  the
  trade  date  (date  the  order to buy  or  sell  is  executed).
  Dividend  income is recorded on the ex-dividend date.  Interest
  from investments is recorded as earned on an accrual basis.

  Contributions

  Participant  contributions  are recorded  each  pay  period  as
  withheld by the Company. Contributions by the Company are  made
  monthly  based  on  the minimum contribution  required  by  the
  Plan.

  Participant Withdrawals

  Withdrawals   are   recorded  when   payments   are   made   to
  participants. Withdrawals requested but not paid are  presented
  in  Department  of  Labor  Form 5500 (Annual  Return/Report  of
  Employee  Benefit Plan) as liabilities. There  were  no  unpaid
  withdrawals at December 31, 1999 and 1998.

  Use of Estimates

  The  preparation  of  financial statements in  conformity  with
  generally  accepted  accounting principles  requires  the  Plan
  administrator  to  make estimates and assumptions  that  affect
  the   amounts   reported  in  the  financial   statements   and
  accompanying  notes.  Actual results could  differ  from  those
  estimates.

  New Accounting Pronouncement

  Certain  amounts  in the Plan's 1998 financial statements  have
  been  reclassified  to conform to the 1999 financial  statement
  presentation  as a result of adopting SOP 99-3, Accounting  for
  and  Reporting of Certain Defined Contribution Plan Investments
  and other Disclosures Matters, in 1999.

4. Significant Investments

  Investments (all are participant-directed) that  represent  5%
  or more of assets available for benefits at December 31,  1999
  and 1998, were as follows:

                                                December 31

  Vanguard Wellington Fund, Inc.      $ 2,079,098         $ 2,103,949
  Fidelity Equity-Income Fund, Inc.     1,419,913           1,209,195
  Fidelity Magellan Fund, Inc.            619,175             337,870
  Loans to participants                   563,398             378,673

5.   Federal Income Tax Status

  The Internal Revenue Service ruled on September 7, 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.  The  Plan  has  been  amended  since
  receiving  the  determination  letter.    However,  the  Plan
  administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan is
  designed  and is  currently being operated in compliance with
  the applicable requirements of the IRC.
