Slide#6
Crop Production Challenges Remain in 2013
Continued Pressure on Crop Yields and Productivity
US corn/soybean conditions weakened in mid-August, supporting crop prices.
FSU crop production and exports expected to increase in 2013. Expect high yield variability due
to volatile weather and low soil fertility.
Expect increase in Brazilian soybean acreage, but reduction in corn acreage due to adverse planting weather. Lower global sugar prices
partially offset by a weaker Real.
Good summer growing conditions helped
European crop recover from slow start.
Regional drought and floods likely to impact China’s crop production. Expect
record corn imports and large wheat imports in 2013.
Good monsoon rains support crop prospects in most regions of India. Government recently proposed $20 billion annual food subsidy program. Good moisture for rice and corn in
most of Thailand and Philippines. Moisture conditions reported as
adequate for Indonesia’s oil palm.
Favorable crop prospects for most regions of Canada.

North America: The need to address declining potassium soil levels provides growth potential for this traditionally stable market
Latin America: Additional acreage and increased fertilizer intensity expected to support strong future demand
Other Asia: Acreage expansion opportunity for potash-intensive oil palm remains high in Indonesia
China: An increasing reliance on grain imports and low potassium levels expected to support future demand growth
India: The requirement to address lagging crop yields and quality issues is expected to drive a more proactive approach to crop fertility
Africa and Other: Significant medium to long-term growth prospects given arable land expansion potential and nutrient deficient soils
