FERTILIZER SEGMENT
19 Stable Trends in Fertilizer Supply & Demand Source: USDA, Fertecon US Nitrogen SupplyCorn Stocks to Use ➢ Fertilizers typically represent approximately 15% of farmers’ cost structure and significantly improve yields. ➢ USDA projecting stocks to use ratio for 2020/2021 at approximately 9%, its lowest level since 2014. ➢ Major global nitrogen capacity build cycle largely complete in 2017/2018, and additional tons have been absorbed by the market. ➢ Strong demand for spring and fall ammonia application and loss of U.S and global nitrogen production in 2021 helped further tighten supply. Higher demand driven by lower ending corn stocks and increased corn prices combined with reduced fertilizer supply have all contributed to higher product pricing for nitrogen fertilizer.
➢ Hurricane activity caused the shutdown of several US production facilities for several weeks, further tightening supply. ➢ Favorable dry fall weather conditions led to an early corn harvest and extended timeframe for ammonia application. ➢ Corn prices remained strong through year-end with futures prices for March 2022 near $6/bu and December 2022 near $5.50/bu. ➢ European production curtailments due to spike in natural gas prices along with China and Russia export restrictions further tightened the global supply of fertilizers. ➢ USDA estimates of 91 million corn acres planted and yields of 172 bushels per acre imply a carryout of 9.2%, the lowest since 2014. ➢ Corn prices continued to increase, reaching over $7/bu driven by strong Chinese and domestic ethanol demand and poor South American crop conditions ➢ Urea prices rallied across the globe and UAN prices followed suit, going from selling at a discount to urea on a nitrogen-equivalent basis for most of 2020 to selling at a premium. ➢ June NOLA prices for urea at $390-$400/ton and UAN at $290-$300/ton. ➢ Planted acres and crop yields came in lower-than-expected while Chinese purchases of corn increased, leading to a 50% reduction in the USDA’s carryout inventory estimates. ➢ Fall demand for ammonia was the highest it has been in several years. ➢ Crop prices continued to increase, with corn reaching $5.50/bu in February. ➢ Winter Storm Uri caused many nitrogen fertilizer production facilities to shut in, which further tightened inventories in advance of spring. 2 0 2 1 Spring Recent Domestic Nitrogen Fertilizer Market Conditions Fall / Winter Winter Summer ➢ NOLA UAN fill price $280 - $285/ton for Q3 shipment. ➢ UAN inventories very low at both the producer and retail level, due to extended sidedress application in July. ➢ Producer turnarounds at multiple plants in the Midwest, as many 2020 turnarounds were delayed to this summer due to COVID-19. ➢ Commodity prices remained strong, with corn prices ranging from $5.00 - $5.50/bu and wheat $6.75 - $7.00/bu. 20
Strong Demand for Corn in the U.S. ➢ Corn has a variety of uses and applications, including feed grains, ethanol for fuel and food, seed and industrial (FSI). ➢ Feed grains ▪ ~96% of domestic feed grains are supplied by corn. ▪ Consumes ~38% of annual corn crop.(1) ➢ Ethanol ▪ Consumes ~37% of annual corn crop.(1) ▪ Corn demand for 2021 was impacted by the loss of gasoline and ethanol demand as a result of COVID-19. ▪ Increased export volumes are more than offsetting temporary demand loss from ethanol. ➢ Corn production typically driven more by yield than acres planted. ➢ Nitrogen fertilizer is generally low on the cost curve for farmers.
