• To be a large potash producer globally through the development of its KazakhstanPotash Projects via the utilisation of the Framework Cooperation Agreementwhich is part of the Chinese Government ‘One belt, One Road’ initiative.

• Under the terms of the Framework Agreement, the Company plans to build apotash production base (Potash Project) in Kazakhstan within 10 years andachieve, on a staged basis, potash fertiliser production capacity of over 7 milliontonnes per annum in order to meet China and Kazakhstan agriculture markets’demand.

• The One Belt, One Road initiative being driven by China’s government is lookingfor new channels to sustain its appetite for growth at a time when developingneighbours are experiencing rapidly rising demand.

• The overall project aims to redirect the country’s domestic overcapacity andcapital for regional infrastructure development to improve trade and relations withASEAN, Central Asian and European countries.

• The Framework Agreement which KPC is party to is a major part of the One Belt,One Road initiative between the governments of China and Kazakhstan.

“One Belt One Road” InitiativeThe KPC projects are located in Kazakhstan, astrategic location which some describes as the“buckle” in the “One Belt One Road” Initiative.

This is in line with the fundamental strategy anddevelopment Initiative of the Chinese government.

Increase Agricultural EfficiencyProper balance among nutrients is key to ensurereasonable crop yields.

Developing counties, including China, that currentlyunder-apply potash can improve efficiencysignificantly by correcting the practice

Supply Deficit in AsiaAsia has contributed to approximately 60% of theworld’s population and 45% of the world’s potashconsumption. However, other than China, thewhole Asia has barely produced any materialamount of potash.

Supply Control by a Few PartiesGlobal potash supply is controlled by limitedgeographic areas (2/3 world production in 3countries) and industrial groups (80% productionin 8 companies, while the 1st largest also holdsubstantial shares in the other 3 of them).

Potash overview

Source: PotashCorp Source: PotashCorpSource: USGS

Major UsagePotash is salt that containpotassium in water-soluble formand potassium (K), is one of thethree essential nutrients ofplants, which has nosubstitutes.

Lack of potassium will lead tolimited plant growth andreduced crop yield.

Key ProductsMuriate of Potash (MOP) – KClis the most common potashproduct with approx. 60% K2O

Sulphate of Potash (SOP) –K2SO4 is a product that is highprice but relatively moresuitable for high value crops,with approx. 50% K2O

Reserve Allocation2/3 of known minable reserves in theworld are located in Canada, Belarusand Russia.

Asia has 60% of the world’s currentpopulation, but only with less than10% of world’s commercially provenpotash deposit.F
