Global Agri-Snapshot

Dynamics of global food prices have become much more complicated


Feedback Loops
Increasing speculation by financial players Increasing trade protectionism Rising correlation with oil prices

Key Demand Drivers


Population and income growth, especially in Asia Shifting diets; more protein, edible oils, and processed foods Diverting food commodities for biofuel production

Price of Food

Key Supply Drivers


Further productivity improvements Availability of additional land Availability of water Diverting land for biofuels

Uncertainties
A severe El Nio (or similar) event Climate change A renewed surge in oil prices A sharp depreciation of US dollar

Global Snapshot 2010


Global alert for grain price spikes, although not expected to 2008-09 levels

40% drop in production in major grain areas of Russia and Kazakhstan due to drought and excessive heat; announced export bans of wheat for rest of 2010. Drops in output throughout Europe, but not to these levels, leads to precarious global grains situation which will depend on Southern Hemisphere supplies (Australia & Argentina)

Current Prices are rapidly approaching pre-2008 highs

Main Issues in Global Agri-Industry


Increasing role for BRICs
Volatility in the commodity markets to continue Increased focus on land and agri-commodities as an investment class Sovereign Wealth Funds interested in large scale land investments in regions where land is available to address food security Emergence of regional Latin America and Asian players (e.g., JBS, Marfrig, Olam, Wilmar, Mengniu, Yili) as global leaders

Brazil: Agri-players in particular consolidating and globalizing, becoming major international players; but infrastructure still needs to improve
Russia: Structurally changed to become a large exporter of grains, in contrast to high dependence on imports in 1970s China: Growing industrialization and demand continues to influence global prices India: In contrast, agri-markets more focused internally and sensitive to local climatic and economic conditions

11

The Sustainability Challenge

World food production needs to double within 30 years


Yet, pressure on natural resources is increasing:

40% of the worlds crop and pasture land is degraded, 8 million ha of cropland lost to urbanization, roads, etc every year Agriculture accounts for nearly 70% of global water use By 2025, some 48 countries and 1.4 billion people will experience water stress or scarcity, the majority of those will be in emerging markets 25% of worlds marine fish stocks are overexploited; an additional 50% are fully exploited

Biodiversity/deforestation issues in major emerging markets (Brazil, Indonesia) Climate change is a looming threat to agriculture and food supply Biofuels are becoming increasingly contentious in the environment of rising food prices Global trade liberalization and subsidy elimination are important issues in dealing with the global food crisis.

Intensification, resource efficiency and sustainability are core issues for agribusiness and rural development

Food insecurity particularly impacts developing countries

Strategic Context for IFC


Agricultural Development Aid plunged from around 17% of total development aid in 1980 to 3.8% in 2006.
A renewed international commitment to Food and Agriculture is at the centre of the global development agenda. FAO estimates that the world will need to boost agricultural investment to $83 billion a year by 2050, a 50% increase over the last decades average investments to feed a growing population. Most of the additional investment is expected to come from the private sector - from small farmers to large agribusiness companies. IFCs role is to work with the private sector in promoting sustainable agribusiness in emerging markets.
