1 March 2016 ANZ GRAINS REPORT THE GRAINS MUSTER

2 RISING URBANISATION & INCOME LEVELS WILL DRIVE DEMAND FOR DAIRY PRODUCTS IN CHINA The growth predictions and numbers for China look enormous as urbanisation and rising incomes will lift milk demand from 45.9bn litres in 2012 to 74.7b litres in 2030 Source: ANZ Analysis

3 CHINA S IMPORT DEPENDENCY WILL INCREASE WITH RISING DOMESTIC BEEF DEMAND In 2030, ANZ estimates that 33% (3.3mt) of China beef demand would be sourced from official beef imports, 4% (371kt, 1.4 million head) from live feeder cattle imports & 1% (102kt) from the grey trade China Beef Imports & Consumption In thousand tonnes CWE 12,000 40% 9,000 30% 6,000 20% 3,000 10% Official beef imports Imported live cattle beef equivalent Estimated Grey Trade Beef from Chinese cattle Imports as % of consumption (RHS) Source: China National Bureau of Statistics, IMF, ABARES & ANZ Analysis

4 AUSTRALIA NEEDS TO INCREASE ITS PRODUCTION LEVELS TO MEET THIS INCREASING DEMAND TO MAINTAIN ITS CURRENT MARKET SHARE Increasing domestic milk supply to meet growing demand in Asian markets, will require additional feed grain supplies for increase in cattle herd, which is estimated to increase to 3.8 million head by 2030 to achieve 12bn litres of milk production Australia Dairy Cattle herd & Milk Production Cattle herd is in million head & milk production is in million litres 14,000 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2, Milk production (mil. litres) Dairy Cattle (mil. head) Source: OECD-FAO, USDA, ABARES & ANZ Analysis

5 INCREASE IN BEEF PRODUCTION NEEDS TO BE SUPPORTED BY ADDITIONAL FEED GRAIN SUPPLIES To export ~2.5 million tonnes of beef by 2030, cattle herd should be increased by ~7.6 million head from the current estimated 25 million in 2015, which will further increase pressure on domestic feed produce Australia Beef Exports & Domestic Consumption In million tonnes CWE Source: OECD-FAO, USDA, ABARES & ANZ Analysis Beef Exports Beef Dom.

6 IN THE HIGH CASE, 1.8% CAGR IN DOMESTIC FEED WILL RESULT IN VALUE ADD ~60% AND INCREASED BEEF AND DAIRY EXPORTS OF ~A$32.4BN THROUGH TO 2030 Source: ANZ Analysis

7 WITH JUST 7% OF THE WORLD S FRESH WATER, 10% OF AGRICULTURAL LAND VERSUS NEARLY 20% OF WORLD POPULATION WHAT ROLE WILL CHINA PLAY? Domestic meat production caters to around 99% of demand and it has increased over the past decade at a CAGR of 2.8%, thus driving feed demand for domestic production China Net Trade in Animal Protein Beef, Pork, Poultry & Milk powder 1.0 Net Exports 0.5 In Million tonnes - (0.5) (1.0) Net Imports (1.5) (2.0) '92 '94 '96 '98 '00 '02 '04 '06 '08 '10 '12 '14 '16f Beef Pork Poultry Milk Powder Source: USDA & ANZ Analysis

8 CHINA S SUPPORT PRICE MECHANISM INCREASED DOMESTIC CORN PRICE, WHICH FORCED FEED MANUFACTURERS TO SWITCH TO LOW COST IMPORTS LIKE BARLEY & SORGHUM While Corn is the largest feed grain ingredient used in China, with an estimated share of 63% since 2005/06, high domestic prices led to increased imports of cheaper substitutes like Barley and Sorghum in the recent past China Net Trade in Grains Wheat, Barley, Corn, Rice & Other 20 Net Exports 10 In Million tonnes - (10) (20) Net Imports (30) '92 '94 '96 '98 '00 '02 '04 '06 '08 '10 '12 '14 '16f Barley Wheat Corn Rice Other Source: USDA & ANZ Analysis

9 EXPANSION OF THE OILSEED CRUSHING SECTOR, GROWTH IN FEED SECTOR & LIMITED DOMESTIC PRODUCTION LED TO HIGH OILSEED IMPORTS Oilseed imports, dominated by Soybean, had more than tripled over the past decade. Oilseed acreage is increasingly shifting towards grain crops which have support price mechanisms China Net Trade in Oilseeds Cottonseed, Peanut, Rapeseed, Soybean & Sunflower seed 5 (15) In Million tonnes (35) (55) Net Imports (75) (95) '92 '94 '96 '98 '00 '02 '04 '06 '08 '10 '12 '14 '16f Cottonseed Peanut Rapeseed Soybean Sunflowerseed Source: USDA & ANZ Analysis

10 THE FALL IN SUGAR PRODUCTION DUE TO LOW PRICES LED TO SUGAR IMPORTS INCREASING OVER 5 MILLION TONNES Short term outlook for sugar consumption in China is sluggish due to economic slowdown, however over the long term continued urbanisation and investment in food manufacturing will drive the demand China Net Trade in Sugar 1 Net Exports - (1) In Million tonnes (2) (3) (4) Net Imports (5) (6) '92 '94 '96 '98 '00 '02 '04 '06 '08 '10 '12 '14 '16f Sugar Source: USDA & ANZ Analysis

11 CAN THE AUSTRALIAN SUPPLY CHAIN SUPPORT SUCH A GROWTH STORY? Australia has invested in total storage capacity of 70mmt, catering for annual production of 44mmt. By comparison, Canada has a storage capacity of 80mmt, for 73mmt crop Source: AEGIC

12 OUTLOOK FOR INDUSTRY PARTICIPANTS On current forecasts, the minimal outlook for price shocks is likely to see only a slow upward trend in grain prices Wheat prices (US No.1 HRW Wheat) In AUD per MT Median: Jan-14 Mar-14 May-14 Jul-14 Sep-14 Nov-14 Jan-15 Mar-15 May-15 Jul-15 Sep-15 Nov-15 Jan-16 Note: Wheat prices shown in the chart represent No. 1 hard red winter (ordinary protein), Kansas City, MO; Data is originally sourced in USD per bushel and converted to AUD per MT using 1 bushel equal to Metric ton and respective monthly average AUDUSD exchange rates Source: USDA ERS, Capital IQ & ANZ Analysis

13 OUTLOOK FOR INDUSTRY PARTICIPANTS Australian grain trading sector is currently at an interesting point on a corporate timeline. With less than a decade since deregulation, the industry will continue to change Source: ABC.net.au, Analysis: Who owns Australia s grain?, 2 nd May 2013

14 OUTLOOK FOR INDUSTRY PARTICIPANTS Globally, the flow of institutional investment in farming has been largely into row crops, skewed by investments into US and Brazilian soy and wheat crops, while in Australia the focus has been beef Agribusiness Fund Allocation by Sector 11% 10% 3% 9% 20% Global Australia 59% 88% Permament Pastoral Row Infrastructure Permament Pastoral Row Infrastructure Source: Parsonage Lane Advisors
