MOSAIC CONFIDENTIAL Global Potash Shipment Forecasts by Region (May 2, 2017) 14 Muriate of Potash Million Tonnes (KCl) 2015 2016 Low 2017F High 2017F Comments China 15.9 13.3 13.8 14.0 Implied shipments plunged last year as a result of a 2.6 mmt decline in imports and lower domestic production. The drop in shipments coupled with a modest increase in on-farm use implies a drawdown of channel inventories from lofty levels at the end of 2015. Shipments are forecast to increase this year due to another moderate gain in on- farm use (area lost to corn will get planted to other K-using crops) and a smaller decline in channel stocks. Imports are forecast to rebound from 6.8 to 7.8 mmt. India 4.0 3.9 4.1 4.3 Shipments stagnated as distributors worked through high stockpiles last year. A modest increase is forecast for this year despite a reduction in the 2017/18 potash subsidy and the expectation of a moderate increase in retail potash prices. Lower international prices, a stronger rupee, increases in minimum support prices, and initial forecasts for a normal monsoon underpin solid on-farm demand. Indonesia/Malaysia 4.3 4.8 5.0 5.2 Sentiment and shipments began to pick up during the tender season in the latter part of last year as improved fundamentals – normal rainfall, lower K prices and a recovery in palm oil prices – took hold. We expect stronger fundamentals will continue to drive moderate gains in 2017. Europe/FSU 10.6 10.2 10.6 10.8 Shipments in 2017 are projected to rebound to 2015-like levels mainly due to the ebbs and flows resulting from swings in channel inventories in Europe as well as continued strong growth in Russia, Ukraine and other FSU countries (albeit from a relatively low base). Brazil 8.7 9.1 9.6 9.8 Our 2017 forecast was revised up to nearly 9.7 mmt. Net imports are projected to reach a record 9.2 mmt and domestic production/shipments are expected to remain at 0.5 mmt. Q1 shipments got off to a fast start -- imports totaled 1.7 mmt, up 23% from a year earlier and production was up 9%. The demand story is unchanged - both agronomic and economic drivers remain constructive. North America 8.9 9.4 9.2 9.4 Shipments last fall (Jul-Dec) jumped 19% to a modern era record of 4.7 mmt. As a result, our 2016 estimate was revised up to 9.4 mmt. Prospects for the 2017 remain positive based on record U.S. soybean area, a moderate drop in corn area, and consistent reports of many farmers rebuilding soil potassium levels. Spring (Jan-Jun) and fall (Jul-Dec) shipments each are projected to top 4.6 mmt. Other 9.3 10.0 9.8 9.9 Demand outside the “Big Six” regions increased a solid 7+% as a result of broad-based gains in other Asian, other Latin American, and African countries. Most countries are expected to hold gains from last year given continued moderate agricultural commodity prices and lower potash prices. Total 61.6 60.7 62.1 63.4 Our current 2017 shipment forecast is 62.6 mmt, an increase of 3.1% or 1.9 mmt from last year. Gains in the “Big Six” consuming regions account for all of the projected increase for reasons noted above. These six regions account for about 85% of global shipments.
MOSAIC CONFIDENTIAL Global Phosphate Shipment Forecasts by Region (May 2, 2017) 15 Million Tonnes DAP/MAP/NPS*/TSP 2015 2016E Low 2017F High 2017F Comments China 19.8 18.4 18.0 18.3 We have trimmed our forecast for 2017 – rather than flat, now showing a modest decline – as early reports on spring season volumes have come in below our previous expectations, with farm economics coming under some strain from reduced government support measures. India 9.2 9.2 9.3 9.5 We continue to project a modest uptick in shipments in 2017, underpinned by the following: DAP subsidy was cut only notionally, farmer sentiment is strong after a good Rabi season, inventories (particularly in the private channels, ports and at retailers) are low, appreciation of the rupee, prospects of another ‘normal’ monsoon. We project DAP imports in calendar 2017 will jump by over a million tonnes y-o-y to ~5.4mmt. Other Asia/Oceania 9.1 8.8 9.3 9.5 Our 2017 forecast is unchanged, and we continue to believe that there is upside to the forecast if the positive farm economics that prevailed in 2016 persist through 2017 and any potential development of an El Niño weather pattern is delayed until late-2017. Europe and FSU 4.7 5.2 5.1 5.3 Our 2017 forecast is cut modestly after reports of a lackluster spring season in the EU, while we expect Russian demand to moderate somewhat – with ~10% y-o-y growth – after surging 40% in 2016. Brazil 6.9 7.8 8.5 8.7 We continue to call for record-busting shipments in 2017, though y-o-y growth in high-analysis phosphate shipments is expected to fall a point short of the 13% growth seen in 2016. Farm economics remain very attractive despite the relative strength of the real in 2017, though the recent weakening of soybean prices, the current slow pace of selling this year’s harvest and the recent lull in fertilizer buying has the potential to trim our shipment forecast if they persist through May. Other Latin America 2.8 3.7 3.6 3.7 Demand surprised to the upside in 2016, particularly in Argentina where shipments doubled y-o-y to 1.4mmt. We have left our forecast for 2017 unchanged, calling for demand to remain flat or slightly lower. The demand drivers of 2016, namely good farmer economics, remain largely in place, though sentiment is not as strong as a year ago. North America 8.9 9.2 9.3 9.4 The fall season was better than expected in 2016 as farmers stepped in to replace large nutrient withdrawals with historically low-cost phosphate. Because of this, we believe that 2017 started with very low channel inventories, which drove record Jan-Apr import volumes. Reports from the field indicate that spring application rates remain strong, and as such we anticipate broadly flat y-o-y shipments (though this will obviously hinge on farm economics/ag commodity prices this fall). Other 3.2 3.8 3.7 3.9 Our forecast for 2017 is little-changed. We expect a modest pullback in Middle East volumes after strong growth in 2016, which should be easily offset by the remarkable demand story that continues to spread across Africa. Total 64.6 66.2 66.8 68.3 Our shipment forecast for 2017 is now at 67-68 million tonnes with a point estimate of 67.3 mmt.
