Market Environment Q1 2003 Key Factors North America Europe North East Asia ConoSur International - Strong demand for corn insecticides & fungicides in the US - Wet conditions in Cotton Belt resulting in late planting - Early stocking of distribution in Canada in anticipation of early season - Cold and wet conditions in Southern and Eastern Europe delay season - Dry conditions in Northern Europe (UK, Germany, France) bear risks of decreased yields in key crops and reduced fungicide input - Korea: Conservative retailers actively reducing channel inventory in expectation of downturn in market prices - Japan: Increasing competition and price pressure in insecticides - Active reduction of channel inventory by all companies in Brazil - Brazilian soybean crop heavily effected by Asian Rust disease - Signs of recovery of local currencies (esp. Real) - Heavily reduced planted area of key crops due to 2002 drought (Australia) - No negative business impact of Iraq war Jochen Wulff April 15, 2003 Slide 10
