Agrium is a major retail supplier of agricultural products and services in North America, South America, Australia, and a leading global producer and marketer of agricultural nutrients We produce and market three primary groups of nutrients: nitrogen, phosphate and potash as well as controlled-release fertilizers and micronutrients A key differentiator of Agrium is that we are the only publicly traded company that crosses the entire agricultural inputs supply chain This means that our focus on growth begins in our manufacturing facilities and extends to the fields where our customers use our products Our diverse portfolio of products and services generated $15 5 billion in sales in 2011 Agrium has approximately 149 million shares outstanding and a market capitalization of approximately $15 7 billion (as of October 31, 2012) Agrium employs approximately 15,900 people globally who are dedicated to achieving our vision of being one of the world’s leading providers of inputs for plant growth by creating value for each of our stakeholders
Agrium divides the Company into three strategic business units:
Our agricultural Retail division is the largest global direct-to-grower agricultural retail operation and generated nearly $10 3 billion in sales in 2011, primarily from seed, crop protection and crop nutrient products Since 2009, we have increased the scale of our retail operations in recent years through numerous smaller acquisitions in North and South America as well as the acquisition of Landmark in Australia As of December 2011, Agrium had approximately 1250 retail locations globally Our pending acquisition of a portion of Viterra’s Agri-products business is expected to add over 200 additional locations, of which the majority are located in Canada
Our Wholesale division generated $5 6 billion in sales in 2011 Wholesale manufactured, marketed and distributed approximately 10 8 million tonnes of nitrogen, phosphates, potash and other products in 2011 We service our customers through a network of over 100 distribution warehouses, supplied by 15 production facilities in North and South America Our strengths include a low cost in-market position, the ability to leverage distribution and a focus on continued expansion at key facilities Agrium’s Wholesale division also operates a distribution network throughout Western and Central Europe and has a 26 percent equity interest in MISR Fertilizer Production Company, S A E (MOPCO) of Egypt In 2011, we approved a one million tonne brownfield expansion of our Vanscoy Potash Operations in Saskatchewan, Canada which is expected to be completed during the second half of 2014

AustraliaThe $40 billion farm sector in Australia produces a variety of crops including grains, vegetables, cotton, sugar cane and pasture land for livestock With a relatively small population of 22 million, Australia is a key exporter of wheat and barley into Asia and the Middle East The three basic categories of fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphate and potash) are all used as crop inputs in Australia Demand for specialty products has increased in recent years and many suppliers now offer such products to suit the specific purposes of individual end users Australian fertilizer demand growth is expected to be similar to other mature markets such as North America, and relatively flat compared to historic trends
ChinaChina has the largest population in the world, with over 1 3 billion residents representing 20 percent of the global population China has 8% of the world’s arable land at approximately 110 million hectares China has the largest agricultural production in the world by volume, and is the world’s largest fertilizer market, accounting for nearly 30 percent of the world’s demand Rising annual incomes of China’s population are driving an improvement in diets and increasing the amount of grain, dairy, fruits, vegetables and meat consumed in China China has increased croping area in recent years and its stated goal is to remain self-sufficient in grain production Given a finite arable land base, grain yields will have to increase to keep pace with demand growth
IndiaForecasts indicate that by 2025 India will become the 5th largest consumer economy in the world While urbanization is not occurring as fast as some parts of Asia, urban population is expected to grow significantly With this, comes a rising middle-class which is expected to surpass that of China over the next 10 years India’s food consumption will increase with growth in population and income This will require a corresponding increase in agricultural production, which in turn will drive increased demand for crop nutrients
India has approximately 158 million hectares of arable land The major crops in India are rice, wheat, millet, cotton and pulses Fertilizer consumption in 2011 was 16 9, 7 4 and 2 8 million metric tonnes for nitrogen, phosphate and potash, respectively From 2013 to 2017, India’s compounded annual growth rate is estimated to be 4 percent annually for consumption of nitrogen, phosphate and potash
Indian agriculture is highly regulated as both fertilizer and crop prices are controlled by the government
