FERTILIZER USE

Either to hath it sterile with idleness or manured with industry

FERTILIZER TYPES • There are three main nutrients • Nitrogen (N) • Phosphate (P2O5) • Potash (K2O)
• There are secondary and micronutrients such as sulphur, magnesium, zinc
etc.
• Nutrients perform different functions in the growth of the plant and the three main nutrients cannot be substituted for each other
• Plants need balanced nutrient application – how much and in what proportion depends on the soil type and the crop being grown
• Without chemical fertilizers, crop production would be reduced by almost half

CORRELATION BREAKDOWN
• Fertilizer price are driven by supply as well as demand • Time lags • Levels were already high enough to stimulate good fertilizer
demand at the start of 2011 – you don’t necessarily put more fertilizer on $7 corn than $5 corn
• Influence of non-commercial and semi-commercial markets – especially India

NEW UREA SUPPLY
• New low-cost capacity in Algeria (three 1.2 million t/y plants) • Additional capacity in Africa (Nigeria and Gabon)
• New supply from Middle East (Qatar, Abu Dhabi)
• Lower gas prices in North America encouraging new supply,
thus reducing import demand

NITROGEN PRODUCTON COSTS • The EU 15 has the most efficient nitrogen fertilizer plants in the
world – more efficient than the US and even new plants in North Africa and the Middle East
• However, it has some of the highest production costs in the World
• This is due to high gas costs in Europe
• In contrast, the fall in US gas prices has made US prodcution extremely competitive

EMISSION TRADING SCHEME
• EU ETS now applies to CO2 emissions from ammonia production, N2O emissions from nitric acid production and CO2 emissions relating to energy use
• Applies even when CO2 is captured – for urea production or industrial uses
• Benchmarking means that currently the most efficient ammonia plants incur modest costs
- although as emission benchmarks are reduced cost potentially will increase
• European plants are the most efficient in the world.
• N2O emissions from nitric acid plants being reduced by retrofitting of plants
• However, the collapse of the carbon price to under €5/t CO2 has made the scheme meaningless and there are calls for it to be scrapped

PHOSPHATE
• Phosphate prices had been high due to tight supply, but fell in 2012
• As the Ma’aden project in Saudi Arabia, plus expansions in Morocco and elsewhere ramp up, the market has become more balanced
• Prices have picked up recently, but are expected to fall again in second half 2013
• The very high phosphate prices of 2007-2008 have stimulated a massive interest in developing phosphate rock reserves – in Central Asia, Africa, Australia and Latin America

MOROCCO – AMBITIOUS EXPANSION PLANS
• State-owned OCP has ambitious expansion plans for its phosphate operations
• It has been looking for j-v partners, but is willing to go it alone • It has the following projects for finished phosphate fertilizers: • 2013 – 1 million t/y • 2014 – 2 million t/y • 2015 – 1 million t/y • There are likely to be delays but will are likely to see at least
part of this come on-stream

MA’ADEN 3 MILLION T/Y DAP PROJECT
• The Ma’aden phosphate project finally came on-stream last year. Full operation will be achieved soon
• Originally scheduled for 2009 • Represents 18% of global DAP export supply • Delay means that supply was initially easily absorbed into the market
given strong demand • Go ahead for a new project (now as a j-v with Mosaic) and expansion
of existing plant will see Saudi Arabian supply increase substantially over the next 5 years

• Supply very concentrated • Two major supply points – Canada and FSU –
account for two thirds of world production • This was represented by six producers and three
marketing organisations. Now five producers and two marketing organisations
• Three marketing organisations – Canpotex, BPC and K+S – account for over 70% of sales
• Four marketing organisations control 85% of sales.

POTASH PROJECTS
• Lots of greenfield projects have been announced but few will be developed
• Projects from junior mining companies will struggle to get finance
• Even projects from major companies face challenges – e.g. Vale’s Rio Colorado in Argentina now suspended, major delays at EuroChem’s first Russia project
• The big unknown - BHP Billiton's Jansen project: over $1 billion spent but still no board approval
• The one certainty with greenfield projects the will cost more and take longer to build than forecast

• Supply is growing faster than demand in all three nutrients, particularly nitrogen
• New urea capacity in the will add 50 million tonnes/year (27 million in China)
• New potash supply adds 22 million tonnes MOP (29% increase)
