World Population 1950-2100 9.3 billion The world has been getting more crowded at a faster rate. It took homo sapiens about 200,000 years to reach a population of 2.5 billion, another 45 years to add 4.5 billion more but the rate of growth is slowing dramatically so that it will take another 40 years to add a further 2.3 billion. The baseline throughout the presentation will be the medium fertility variant Assumptions: High-fertility: Until 2010, no fertility reduction or only an incipient decline; Medium-fertility: Fertility declining but estimated level still above 2.1 in 2005-2010; Low-fertility: Total fertility at or below 2.1. Source: Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat, World Population Prospects: The 2010 Revision.

Most Populous Countries The order of the 20 most populous countries will change and the bar to entry will rise. The smallest of the top 20 goes from 66 mil. to 92 mil. Assumption: Medium-fertility variant. Source: Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations Secretariat, World Population Prospects: The 2010 Revision.

Wheat Fundamentals Wheat demand outpaces production – increase in exports and feeding.

Feeding HRW 335 mb Feeding HRW 50 mb SRW 140 mb SWW 30 mb Total 220 mb

CME Wheat/Corn Spread Weekly Chart – wheat market did Its job of moving to feed grain values But now does market need to build Risk premium in and take it out of the feeding equation ?

KWZ/CZ SPREAD

Sharp increase in US exports dues to smaller estimated world wheat production mainly from the Black Sea countries.

Carryout is at a 104 day supply

World carryout reduced on smaller production but still above 2007-8. Wheat Fundamentals World carryout reduced on smaller production but still above 2007-8.

Wheat Fundamentals If Russian production is 40 mmt or less at the current pace of Exports they would need to shut down exports by October to Maintain a historical carryout to use ratio. WTO entry makes an embargo more problematic but it cannot Be ruled out, interesting to see multinational grain companies Aggressive sellers of Russian wheat in latest tenders.

WHEAT FORWARD LOOK Fundamentals: World Supply/Demand has shifted. Smaller World production/ending stocks have changed market attitude from bearish to nervous in the short term. Black Sea production issues will shift export demand back to US, Canada and the EU, will the EU need to ration exports ? . Basis is firm as demand continues to be strong. Feeders and new KC storage rates compete for bushels. Rally in futures has seen producer sell – who will be a seller of this market with corn/bean action ? Basis will have to do the work if flat price or spreads will not. Over The Horizon Weather Threats – Australia El Nino can sharply lower production, September critical, US HRW areas need rains for fall planting. Break up of CWB still a work in progress – more imports into US but “transparent” exports. Smaller production in Argentina due to Government actions.

US Supply Demand Alt/2012/13

World Supply/Demand WORLD S/D Notes: These numbers are my estimate on the 12/13 they reflect smaller Black Sea and Australian production from USDA. 2007/8 is listed as a reference but note that C/O to use that year was 20.7% and if demand did stay constant in this estimate the 12/13 C/O % estimate would be on that pace – but I would expect demand to drop with this type of projection as futures prices would cut demand. Remarkable to look at this S/D just 6 months ago estimates had Carryout over 200 mmt.

Outliers – Corn price elevates wheat VS C/O to USE ratio Supply issue

CORN FORWARD LOOK Fundamentals: Markets have added Risk Premium. US corn production and corn stocks have been reduced, trade looking for smaller numbers going forward, small crops get smaller, big crops get bigger. Corn futures have rallied to $8.50 and stalled, smaller production can take futures higher post harvest – true rationing will be late in the crop cycle and be done by basis and inverses in the markets. US Ethanol will not go away till they run out of money. Demand and price. Wheat/Corn spread will encourage more wheat feeding. Producer may be limited seller at harvest – yields and insurance. Over The Horizon - China corn production reports will be watched closely. Political intervention in markets, ethanol, export taxes etc. New crop corn plantings – prices to encourage more area. Shift to El Nino is good for both US and South American weather.

SOYBEANS – FORWARD LOOK Fundamentals – “Market out of control” USDA Crop report reducing US production and carryout, showing a minimum pipeline of 115 mb a 15 day supply. US can literally run out of soybeans in the spring. South American production to rebound - USDA estimating South American production up 1.25 bb. South American producer aggressively selling new crop beans as they receive record prices. Shift to El Nino weather pattern will help production. Over The Horizon - Dislocation of stocks – World forced to source beans from the US until new crop S/A production comes online Even if South American crop rebounds market will face inadequate logistic capacity to supply demand – force more business to US. Disruption of futures markets – potential cash convergence issues in the summer.

Soybeans—A look forward
