2 1. GLOBAL TRENDS Seite 2

3 FERTILIZERS DEMAND DRIVERS Global population increase >1-2% p.a. Bio-fuel production in USA, Latin Americas and Europe Steep income growth in some developing countries Change of diet in Asian countries High energy prices Natural resources constraints (water, land) Tight food supply High prices for agricultural commodities Seite 3

4 2. INCOME AND NUTRITION Seite 4

5 BETTER NUTRITION BECAUSE OF ESCAPE OF 300 M PEOPLE FROM POVERTY The amount of people who earn less than 1 $ per day, decreased from 32% to 19% between 1990 und Economic development in Asia caused this phenomenon. About 300 M people there escaped from the extreme poverty. The most immediate effect of additional income became a nutrition improvement. Due to UN forecast this trend will continue.

11 DRIVERS FOR BIO-FUEL PRODUCTION The global utilization of bio-fuels is subject to the following criteria: o Ecological benefits o Reduction of CO 2 emissions o Economic benefits (without subsidizing) Ecological benefits and reduction of CO 2 emissions: Results of the Brazilian program Proalcool from 1975 to 2005: Reduction of CO 2 emissions: 644 Mill. t Saving of fossil fuels: 778 MBOE (Million Barrels Oil Equivalents) Saving of foreign currency: USD 72 billions Source: JSA Ltda, Phosphates 2008 Conference Seite 11

20 INCREASING CAPITAL FLOWS TO AGRICULTURAL COMMODITIES A study, conducted by Barclays Capital among 240 institutional investors, has revealed that 100 billion Dollars may be currently invested in agricultural commodities. Until the end of 2008, this investment could increase to billion Dollars. Darin Newsom, a Senior Analyst of DTM means that the market of agricultural commodities has become a market for acknowledged investment strategies. The influx of investments has lead to price increases, increased volatility and eroded the cyclical nature of markets for agricultural commodities, says Newsom. Source: U.S. News & World Report, 24.
