  35. Slide 35: Long Term Outlook

    Long Term Outlook • Solid long term nutrient demand outlook • Strong traditional demand drivers • Biofuels: a viable component of comprehensive energy policy • Demand growth requires significant supply increases • Limited capacity additions during the next few years • Relatively high prices required

  36. Slide 36: Long term fundamentals remain intact and positive

    While near term prospects are beginning to improve, long term fundamentals remain intact and positive. First, the long term nutrient demand outlook remains rock solid due to strong traditional drivers as well as the growing demand for biofuels. Second, projected demand growth requires significant su

  38. Slide 38: World grain and oilseed use forecast to keep increasing

    We forecast that world grain and oilseed use will continue to increase at a faster pace than historical trends due to steady population growth, higher per capita incomes and further increases in biofuels production. We project that global grain and oilseed production will increase about 20% or more

  40. Slide 40: Long term demand forecasts derived from a model

    These long term demand forecasts were derived from a model that predicts use based on population and real GDP per capita. The amount of corn ground into ethanol in the United States was excluded from the statistical analysis and then added back based on actual and future mandated use. This chart sho

  42. Slide 42: Increases in population are steady and predictable

    Let’s look at each of these drivers in more detail. Increases in population are steady and predictable. Global population is projected to increase from 6.6 billion today to 7.5 billion in 2020. The world sets the dinner table for 73 million more people each year. That is the equivalent of adding ano

    You no doubt have seen a chart like this in most outlook presentations, but it illustrates a basic fact that people upgrade diets to more protein-rich and grain intensive foods as incomes increase.

  49. Slide 49: Biofuels – a viable component of energy policy

    Biofuels – a viable component of energy policy • Long term viability • Bullish oil fundamentals • Strong demand outlook (same as food story) • Uncertainties about new supplies • Continued or faster agricultural productivity gains from biotechnology • U.S. Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007

  50. Slide 50: Biofuels is also an important demand driver

    Biofuels also is an important demand driver. Biofuels has passionate proponents and opponents and likely will remain a controversial issue. Our view is that biofuels is a viable component of energy policy. That assessment is based on a combination of bullish oil fundamentals and expectations of larg

    We estimate that U.S. ethanol production totaled about 9.2 billion gallons in 2008. Ethanol currently accounts for 6% of U.S. gasoline supplies and is projected to account for about 10% of supplies by 2015. Ethanol is a significant part of U.S. gasoline supplies.
