3 Preliminaries  India in the context of the global markets  Focus on phosphate and potash (P&K)  Current situation and five-year outlook  Observations and perspectives of an outsider


 
4 Agenda and Take-Aways  Agricultural Situation and Outlook - No structural imbalance but just a string of above-trend harvests - Long term food story not in vogue but still intact - Constructive outlook underpins positive plant nutrient demand prospects - India: feeding a growing and more affluent population with better technology/practices  Phosphate Situation and Outlook - Demand growth projected to accelerate following the recent slowdown - A balanced outlook but big changes on the supply side of the ledger - Trade flows expected to continue to adjust to supply developments - India: from demand drag to demand driver but subsidy policies remain a wildcard  Potash Situation and Outlook - Collapses of key potash currencies a main driver of lower prices - Stronger and steadier demand growth forecast for the next five years - Market not grossly out of balance and significant supply adjustments underway - India: demand recovery expected due to positive agronomic and economic factors


 
5 Agricultural Situation and Outlook


 
6 No structural imbalance  Farmers can’t frack corn and the world cannot stop eating - Most agricultural commodity prices are holding up in a volatile environment - No disruptive technological developments (e.g. like hydraulic fracturing in energy markets) - No gross supply/demand imbalance (e.g. like over-investment and a demand slowdown in the iron ore market) - New crop corn and soybean prices continue to trade at ~$4 and ~$9 per bushel - New crop wheat prices under pressure due to strong dollar and large supplies - Recent palm oil and sugar price rallies due to smaller El Niño-impacted crops 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 110 120 2014 2015 2016 Index Source: CRB Commodity Prices 2014 Q1=100 Oil WTI Iron Ore Corn HRW Wheat 1,750 2,000 2,250 2,500 2,750 3,000 Jan-14 Jul-14 Jan-15 Jul-15 Jan-16 Ringgits Tonne Source: CRB Malaysian Palm Oil Prices Daily Close of Nearby Option


 
7 Just a string of above-trend harvests  Still a horse race between supply and demand - Stocks declined and prices increased when yields were less than trend (2010-12) - Stocks built and prices dropped when yields exceeded trend (2013-14) - World less China grain and oilseed inventories are projected to decline this year - Stocks-to-use ratio has varied ~200 basis points around 17% 2.5 2.6 2.7 2.8 2.9 3.0 3.1 3.2 3.3 800 820 840 860 880 900 920 940 960 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 1314E15F MT/HAMil Tonnes World Grain and Oilseed Area and Yield Harvested Area Yield Linear (Yield) Source: USDA 14% 15% 16% 17% 18% 19% 20% 21% 22% 23% 200 225 250 275 300 325 350 375 400 425 00 01 02 03 4 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 1314E15F PercentMil Tonnes World Less China Grain and Oilseed Stocks Stocks Percent of Use Source: USDA

12 Phosphate Situation and Outlook


 
13 Demand growth expected to accelerate  Global phosphate shipments increased just 1.3% per year from 2010 to 2015.  India was a drag on demand with shipments dropping 2.4 million tonnes from 2010 to 2015.  Strong growth in China, other Asia, and Brazil more than offset the drop in India and resulted in modest gains.  Demand is projected to grow to 2.8% per year to 74 million tonnes in 2020 as demand gets back on track in India and other regions register decent increases. 35 40 45 50 55 60 65 70 75 80 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15E16F 20F Global Phosphate Shipments Actual High Forecast Low Forecast Likely Forecast CRU - Jan 2016 MMT DAP/MAP/TSP Source: Mosaic and CRU Phosphate Outlook Jan 2016 -4.5% -0.5% 0.7% 1.8% 6.5% 2.3% 5.5% 4.5% 1.8% -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 India Europe/FSU Other Latin Am Mideast/Other Africa North America Brazil Other Asia + Oceania China MMT DAP/MAP/TSP (Percentage is CAGR) Change in Phosphate Shipments 2015 vs. 2010 Source: Mo aic and CRU Phosphate Outlook Jan 2016 India: from worst to (almost) first 0.2% 3.5% 3.6% 1.1% 3.9% 4.3% 3.0% 4.8% 3.1% -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 4 North America Mideast/Other Africa Other Asia + Oceania Other Latin Am Europe/FSU Brazil India China MMT DAP/MAP/TSP (Percentage is CAGR) Change in Phosphate Shipments 2020F vs. 2015 Source: Mosaic and CRU Phosphate Outlook Jan 2016

January 2016 Global Phosphoric Acid Supply and Demand Capacity Production Operating Rate  The global phosphoric acid operating rate is expected to remain relatively stable at elevated levels through the end of the decade.  Mosaic forecasts utilize operational capacities that are less than consultant estimates and result in projected operating rates in the 85% to 90% range during the next five years.  The most recent CRU forecasts include higher capacity estimates and slightly lower demand forecasts and result in operating rates in the 80% to 85% range during the forecast period.  A back-of-the-envelope calculation: if global DAP/MAP/TSP shipments increase 2% or ~1.3 million tonnes per year, then gains during the next five years will total about 6.5 million tonnes or roughly equal to the new capacity expected on line from four OCP Jorf Phosphate Hubs and the Ma’aden phase II expansion


 
17 Significant changes on the supply side of the ledger  China has accounted for all of the net increase in global phosphate supplies so far this century and has transitioned from the largest importer to the largest exporter of finished phosphate products.  China has stopped building phosphate plants, and a restructuring of this sector is expected during the next several years.  There are few phosphate projects in the pipeline other than the four OCP Jorf Phosphate Hubs and the Ma’aden Phase 2 development. So these are the main supply sources expected to meet future demand growth. 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10 11 12 13 14 15E 16F 17F 18F 19F 20F MMT P2O5 Source: CRU January 2016 Global Phosphoric Acid Capacity Rest of World China 54.5 58.6 2.9 1.6 0.8 1.2 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 2014 OCP Ma'aden Other China 2020F MMT P2O5 Source: CRU, January 2016 Global Phosphoric Acid Capacity 0 4 8 12 16 20 24 28 32 36 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 85 90 95 00 05 10 15E Mil Tonnes Production Mil Tonnes Net Exports China DAP/MAP/TSP Production and Net Exports DAP/MAP/TSP N t Exports DAP/MAP/TSP Production Source: CRU January 2016

The two countries accounted for 80% of Indian DAP imports in 2014/15 and likely will account for about 90% in 2015/16.  China alone likely will account for more than 70% of Indian DAP imports this fertilizer year, but exports to India still account for only one-third of Chinese total phosphate exports.  China and Saudi Arabia likely will continue to meet most of the projected demand growth in India due to freight advantages. Saudi Arabia is expanding capacity and new Moroccan supplies likely targeted to Africa and South America will push a larger share of Chinese output into India.

Appraisals of true capacity are the main difference. For example, we estimate that 2016 global production capability is about 66 million tonnes. CRU’s estimate is 19 million tonnes greater largely due to a 13 million tonne difference in Canadian capacity estimates. CRU’s capacity forecast for 2020 is 20 million tonnes greater than our projection.  Nevertheless, production capability is forecast to grow faster than demand during the rest of this decade. As a result, the global operating rate is projected to trend downward from roughly 90% today to the 85% range toward the end of this decade.  Supply adjustments are taking place that are expected to bring supply in line with demand. Producers have accelerated the closure of mines that are nearing the end of their lives. Others are optimizing operations by closing high cost mines and running lower cost mines at higher rates.

30 2016 Phosphate Shipment Forecasts by Region Million Tonnes DAP/MAP/NPS*/TSP 2014R 2015E Nov Low 2016F Nov High 2016F Feb Low 2016F Feb High 2016F Comments China 21.4 19.6 20.8 21.2 20.6 20.9 Shipments of high analysis products declined last year due to moderate demand growth, delays in the winter stockpiling program, and competition from lower analysis products. We project a rebound this year based on continued profitable farm economics -- despite lower corn support prices and the VAT tax. India 7.7 9.2 9.1 9.4 8.5 8.8 Shipments and imports popped 1.5 and 2.5 mmt, respectively, last year with importers entering the market for large tonnage early in 2015/16. A below average monsoon hindered on-farm demand and led to a buildup of channel stocks. Our 2016 forecast has been cut to reflect a pulldown of inventories. Other Asia/Oceania 7.6 8.5 7.8 8.1 8.1 8.3 Shipments last year exceeded our earlier forecast despite weaker and volatile currencies and weather issues in some regions. Our 2016 forecast is up slightly from the November forecast as a result of profitable farm economics, average to below-average channel inventories and more stable foreign exchange rates. Europe and FSU 4.8 4.7 5.8 5.9 5.3 5.5 Shipments were about flat in 2015 (from a re-based level of ~4.8 mmt). Shipments in 2016 are projected to rebound due to steady to modestly higher shipments in Europe and stronger gains in the FSU. Weak currencies such as the ruble are expected to boost agricultural exports and phosphate use. Brazil 7.5 6.9 7.1 7.5 7.0 7.3 The collapse of the real and lack of credit resulted in a drop in shipments in 2015. The decline was about in line with the drop in phosphate use so channel inventories remained above-average. A modest rebound is expected due to lower phosphate prices, strong farm economics, and improved credit availability. Other Latin America 3.2 3.0 3.2 3.4 3.2 3.4 Shipments held up a bit better than expected in 2015, but still showed a modest year-over-year decline. Shipments are forecast to rebound this year as a result of steady agricultural commodity prices, more stable currencies and potentially much higher imports by Argentina. North America 8.9 9.0 8.8 9.0 8.8 9.0 Shipments exceeded our prior forecast for 2015 following a solid fall application season. Our 2016 forecast is unchanged from last November and assumes that markets will bid for, and farmers will plant, 90-91 million acres of corn, 82-83 million acres of soybeans, and 52-53 million acres of wheat this year. Other 4.0 3.5 3.4 3.6 3.6 3.8 Continued moderate growth is expected in Africa and parts of the Mideast. Total 64.9 64.4 66.0 68.0 65.0 67.0 Shipments last year were revised down 1.0 million tonnes from our prior point estimate largely due to much lower-than-expected Chinese shipments. We have lowered 2016 guidance 1.0 million tonnes to 65-67 million with a point estimate of 65.5 million mostly as a result of lower Indian shipments. Source: CRU and Mosaic.

31 2016 Potash Shipment Forecasts by Region Muriate of Potash Million Tonnes (KCl) 2014 2015E Nov Low 2016F Nov High 2016F Feb Low 2016F Feb High 2016F Comments China 13.8 15.8 14.3 14.6 13.4 13.7 Implied shipments surged 2.0 mmt to 15.8 mmt in 2015 as a result of record net imports (9.2 mmt) and record production (6.6 mmt) and exceeded our prior forecast by 1.8 mmt. The demand outlook remains positive, but shipments are projected to drop 2.0+ mmt due to a drawdown of channel inventories in 2016. India 4.3 4.0 4.6 5.0 3.7 3.9 Implied shipments totaled 4.0 mmt in 2015, down from 4.3 mmt in 2014 and less than our prior forecast of 4.3-4.4 mmt. A below average monsoon and a weaker and volatile rupee combined to limit imports. Shipments this year are projected to decline slightly absent a change in these key drivers. Indonesia/ Malaysia 5.3 4.3 4.9 5.2 4.7 5.1 Shipments dropped 1.0 mmt last year due to a build of channel inventories in 2014, weaker currencies, lower palm oil prices, and dry weather. Shipments are forecast to rebound more than 0.5 mmt this year based on better rainfall, lower K prices, moderate rice and palm oil prices, and more stable currencies. Europe and FSU 10.2 10.1 10.3 10.6 10.3 10.6 Shipments dropped slightly last year with declines in Western Europe exceeding moderate gains in Eastern Europe and the FSU. Shipments are forecast to tick up this year due to generally positive economic and agronomic demand drivers and average channel inventories. Brazil 9.3 8.7 8.8 9.0 8.2 8.5 The drop in shipments was about in line with the decline in use last year. As a result, channel inventories remained at elevated levels at the end of 2015. Shipments are forecast to decline again this year based on a modest uptick in projected use and a drawdown of channel inventories. North America 9.8 8.9 8.9 9.2 8.8 9.1 Shipments in CY 2015 declined nearly 1.0 mmt from the high level in 2014. Shipments roughly equaled estimated use, so channel inventories remain at or above average. Shipments this year are projected to stay about flat due to a small increase in use and a moderate pull down of channel inventories. Other 10.0 9.0 9.2 9.4 8.9 9.1 Shipments last year declined from high levels in 2014 due to across-the-board drops in Africa, the Mideast, and other Asian and Latin American countries. Shipments are projected to remain about flat this year as a result of moderate gains in demand met in part by a reduction of channel inventories. Total 62.7 60.7 61.0 63.0 58.0 60.0 The 2.0 mmt decline in 2015 was the result of a 2.0 mmt gain in China and a 4.0 mmt decline in the rest of the world (ROW). The large decline in ROW was the result of pipeline inventory builds in many countries and sluggish demand in a few others. Shipments this year are forecast to total 58-60 mmt with a point estimate of 59.7. The 1.0 mmt decline is the result of a roughly 2.0 mmt drop in China and a 1.0 mmt gain in the ROW.
