                  Independent Auditors' Report


Plan Administrator
 IMC Global Inc.
 Profit Sharing and Savings Plan


We   have  audited  the  accompanying  statement  of  net  assets
available for benefits of the IMC Global Inc. Profit Sharing  and
Savings  Plan 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 12,  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  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.


                               -1-



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.

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.

We  conducted  our  audit in accordance with  auditing  standards
generally accepted in the United States.  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,

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 at December 31, 1998  and  the

1.   Description of the Plan

  Effective  January  1, 1998, the Investment Plan  for  Salaried
  Employees  of IMC Global Operations Inc. was amended,  restated
  and  renamed  the  IMC Global Inc. Profit Sharing  and  Savings
  Plan (the Plan).

  Also  on January 1, 1998, the following plans were merged  with
  the  Plan:  IMC  Global-Hutson Co. 401(k) Profit Sharing  Plan;
  IMC  Global-Hutson Agrico Services 401(k) Profit Sharing  Plan;
  IMC  Global-Vigoro Employees' Salary Plan; and the  IMC  Global
  Non-Union Hourly Employees of IMC Global Operations Inc.  Plan.
  Effective  July  1,  1998, the IMC Global  Profit  Sharing  and
  Savings-Western Ag Plan merged into the Plan.

  The  following  description of 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  was  established  on March  1,  1988,  for  salaried
  employees  of  IMC  Global  Operations  Inc.  (a  wholly  owned
  subsidiary  of  IMC Global Inc.) and its wholly owned  domestic
  subsidiaries   (the  Company).  Employees   are   eligible   to
  participate  in the Plan immediately upon their date  of  hire.
  While  the  Company has not expressed any intent  to  terminate
  the  Plan, it is free to do so at any time. The Plan is subject
  to  the  provisions of the Employee Retirement Income  Security
  Act of 1974 (ERISA).

  Contributions

  The  Plan is funded by contributions from participants  in  the
  form  of payroll deductions/salary reductions of up to  15%  of
  participants' base monthly salaries, not to exceed  $10,000  in
  1999  and 1998. A participant may change the amount of  payroll
  deduction/salary  reduction at any time. The  Plan  provides  a
  qualified  cash and deferred arrangement within the meaning  of
  section  401(k)  of  the  IRC. Salary reduction  contributions,
  elected  by certain participants, may be reduced (or  refunded)
  to   comply  with  certain  nondiscrimination  requirements  of
  section  401(k) or the limitations of section 415 of  the  IRC.
  In  addition,  the  Plan  is also funded  by  Company  matching
  contributions,  as  determined  by  the  Company's   Board   of
  Directors  which are subject to certain limitations imposed  by
  section 415 of the IRC.

                           (Continued)



1.   Description of the Plan (Continued)

  Company matching contributions were equal to 100% of the  first
  3%,  and  50%  of  the  second  3%  of  participants'  eligible
  contributions for the years ended December 31, 1999  and  1998.
  The  Company  may  also  make  a  profit-sharing  contribution,
  subject  to  certain limitations and requirements. All  or  any
  portion  of  the  profit-sharing  contributions  that  will  be
  applied  to the Company Stock Fund may be in the form  of  cash
  or  shares  of  IMC  Global, Inc. common  stock.  Generally,  a
  participant must be employed on the last day of the  Plan  year
  to be eligible for profit-sharing contributions.

  Under  certain  circumstances, participants may rollover  their
  vested  benefits  from  other qualified benefit  plans  to  the
  Plan.

  Participant Accounts

  Separate  accounts  are maintained for each  participant.  Each
  participant's  account balance is adjusted for participant  and
  Company     contributions,   withdrawals,    fees,    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

  The  Plan's investments are administered by Marshall  &  Ilsley
  Trust  Company under a trust agreement dated January  1,  1996.
  Investment programs available to participants are as follows:

1. Description of the Plan (Continued)

  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) 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.

  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
  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  with  the exception of guaranteed  investment
  contracts  are carried at fair value. Fair value  is  the  last
  reported sales price on the last business day of the month  for
  securities  traded  on  a  national securities  exchange.  Fair
  value  for shares of master trust funds, mutual funds, the  M&I
  Stable  Principal  Fund, and the 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.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Continued)

  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

  Contributions from participants are recorded monthly.  Matching
  contributions  by  the Company are made monthly  based  on  the
  minimum  contribution  percentage required  by  the  Plan.  Any
  profit-sharing  contributions by the Company are  accrued  when
  approved by its Board of Directors.

  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.

3. Investment in Master Trust

  Assets of the Bond Fund, the Company Stock Fund, and the  Fixed
  Income  Fund  are  invested in shares of IMC Global  Operations
  Inc.  pooled  funds shared by other IMC Global Operations  Inc.
  401(k)  plans. The Plan held a 100%, 98.6%, and 96.9% interest,
  respectively,  in  the  IMC Global Bond Fund,  the  IMC  Global
  Stock  Fund,  and the IMC Global Fixed Income Fund at  December
  31,  1999 (100%, 99.1% and 98.2%, respectively, at December 31,
  1998).

  The  equitable  shares in the pooled funds of  a  participating
  plan  are proportionate to the fair market value of the  assets
  applicable to such participating plan.

5. Federal Income Tax Status

  The Internal Revenue Service ruled on June 7, 1989, 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.
