Rabobank’s view on the fertilisers market Global market dynamics and 2020 outlook Dirk Jan Kennes Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory (FAR) Rabobank International Rabobank’s view on the fertiliser market Demand dynamics Farm inputs – Long term demand drivers remain positive As agri demand growth exceeds supply yield improvement has become imperative Demand Additional 140 million hectares Supply Ha Food, feed, fuel demand 2020 Food, feed, fuel demand 2005 LOW HIGH 30% yield increase YIELD Source: Rabobank analysis [Insert client name via master] 3 Higher and more volatile prices oversupply tight 700 USD / Tonne 600 500 On average 400 higher and 300 more volatile prices 200 100 0 Wheat (US) Source: Bloomberg, Rabobank [Insert client name via master] Corn (US) Soybeans (US) Crop farming: sustainable intensification Farm inputs Crop farming Trade Livestock farming Issues Retail Consumer Investment themes Increase crop per ha, per drop water and per kg nutrient Increasing capital intensity Enabling environment crucial Managing risks (inputs, prices, production, marketing) Enable entrepreneurship in a consolidating world [Insert client name via master] Processing 5 Rising land prices The emergence of the rural entrepreneur Farm inputs – The start of the food & agri chain Fertiliser prices respond fast to improving farm margins Gross value of production & expenses for US corn producer 1000 World Fertiliser market: USD100 billion plus Fertiliser prices respond fastest to the improving fundamentals in ag market 900 800 Potassium (K2O) USD/Acre 700 600 16% 500 400 Phosphorus (P2O5) 300 24% 60% 200 100 Seed Fertilizer, Lime, and Gypsum Chemicals Custom Operations Fuel, Lube, and Electricity Repairs Hired Labor Other Variable Cash Expenses Interest Total Fixed Expenses Total, Gross Value of Production Sources: Global Insight, IFA, Rabobank analysis [Insert client name via master] 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2001 2000 0 6 Nitrogen (N) US corn farmers see fertilisers and seeds as most important inputs US corn farmers’ spending on seed, fertiliser, agrochemicals, and fuel & electricity 160,00 Seed 140,00 Fertilizer 120,00 USD/planted acre 100,00 Chemicals 80,00 Fuel and Electricity 60,00 40,00 20,00 0,00 2000 [Insert client name via master] 2001 2002 2003 2004 7 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Historical fertiliser demand development explained Area, crop mix and application rate together explain volume of fertiliser market The volume of the fertiliser demand is the product of three components: (1) Area * (2) crop mix factor * (3) application rate = volume of fertiliser market 1. Area: 2. Crop mix factor: 3. Application rate: area dedicated to crops that are fertilised average number of kg of nutrients per ha for actual crop mix with application rates in base year average number of kg of nutrients applied per ha for a specific crop In the following slides you will see the evolution of the market volume of fertiliser in the top left graph. The explanatory factors are given in the other slides: area development in the top right graph, crop mix changes (change of average application rate due to change in crop mix and assuming base year application rates) in the bottom left graph application rate changes in the bottom right graph The average of 2006 and 2007 is taken as the base year for all factors The next step is to include FAR’s prediction for areas in 2020 for the different crops in the model and make an assumption about application rate development from now to 2020. Based on these two items the 2020 fertiliser demand can be predicted.

Importer’s lure to secure stable supply Brazil, India and China collectively import close to 18 million tonnes KCl annually Growing import reliance, frustration from one sided contract negotiations and strategic importance of potash nutrient for long term viability of their growing agri sector represent primary drivers Securing financing for the greenfield projects Response of traditional players to discourage entry of new players Elevated potash prices and profitability has attracted investments from number of new players Capex of at least $1000/tonne needed to build greenfield mine and securing financing may represent key bottleneck in realising production Response of existing low cost players and large volume – Potash Corp and Uralkali- will be critical in limiting the extent

capacity Increase in import volumes at international prices has laid out ambitious plans to achieve self sufficiency in urea in India Is it wise to pursue this ambition in light of global urea dynamics and specific state of Indian economy? Brazil will significantly reduce its dependence in urea imports High-cost producers need to strengthen their market position through cross industry partnerships and downstream integration closer to farmers Winners will be those who can achieve low costs of production and/or are placed close to a demand market enabling them to quickly respond to demand dynamics by altering production cycles Market intelligence and access to growers will be key success factors in this case 39 Rabobank’s view on the fertiliser market Thank You!
