Global Phosphate Shipment Forecasts by Region (February 2015) Million Tonnes DAP/MAP/TSP 2013R 2014E Oct Low 2015F Oct High 2015F Feb Low 2015F Feb High 2015F Comments China 21.5 21.6 21.8 22.1 21.8 22.1 Large but flat shipments in 2014. Forecast for 2015 unchanged. Moderate growth expected this year due in part to positive changes to agricultural commodity support policies. India 8.0 7.6 9.0 9.4 8.3 9.0 2014 estimate lowered due to weak import economics, a shift to NP/NPKs, and inventory depletion. 2015 range lowered due to some of the same factors, but projected increase driven by low channel stocks, a stable rupee and expected subsidy changes. Other Asia/Oceania 6.8 6.8 6.9 7.3 6.9 7.3 2014 demand came in at the low end of our forecast. Only minor rebalancing changes made to 2015 forecast, with demand projected flat to moderately higher in most countries. Europe and FSU 5.4 5.8 4.5 4.7 5.1 5.3 Upward revisions made to historical EU demand, which carried through to 2014 and 2015, while a weaker Euro and challenging economic environment may weigh on 2015. FSU countries expected to show continued moderate growth. Brazil 7.1 7.4 7.0 7.3 7.0 7.3 2014 estimate revised higher on strength of shipments through the end of the year. Forecast for 2015 unchanged. The sharp drop in the real boosts overall farm economics, but channel inventories expected to decline as well. Other Latin America 2.9 3.0 2.8 3.0 2.8 3.0 Minor rebalancing changes made, with shipments expected to be flat to slightly lower in 2015. North America 8.9 9.0 8.6 8.9 8.7 8.9 Expectations for 2015 are little changed with shipments ticking slightly lower on reductions in planted area (our 2015 corn and soybean area forecasts are 88-89 and 83-84 million acres). Other 3.6 3.5 3.8 3.9 3.6 3.8 Middle East shipments revised down in 2014 and expected to grow modestly in 2015. Africa holds broadly flat. Total 64.1 64.6 64.5 66.5 64.4 66.5 Our 2014 point estimate of 64.6 mmt sits squarely within our 64-65 mmt guidance. Downward revisions to India offset increases in Europe and Latin America. Our 2015 forecast is unchanged at 64.5-66.5 mmt, with a 65.4 mmt point estimate. Source: CRU and Mosaic. Numbers may not sum to total due to rounding.


 
Global Potash Shipment Forecasts by Region (February 6, 2015) Muriate of Potash Million Tonnes (KCl) 2013R 2014E Oct Low 2015F Oct High 2015F Feb Low 2015F Feb High 2015F Comments China 11.0 13.8 12.4 12.6 12.7 13.1 Shipments surged 2.8 mmt last year (+1.0 mmt production and +1.8 mmt net imports). We estimate ~1.0 mmt of the increase was inventory build. 2015 forecasts assume 4%-6% demand growth and a 0.5-0.6 mmt drawdown of channel inventories. India 3.2 3.9 4.0 4.4 4.1 4.4 India contracted for ~4.3 mmt in 2014/15 and imported 3.9 mmt in CY 2014. Farm economics remain profitable and import economics continue to work. Potential upside if meaningful policy changes made – especially urea subsidy reform. Indonesia/Malaysia 4.1 4.6 4.7 4.9 4.7 4.9 Demand growth to continue in 2015 due to still profitable palm oil economics (aided by biodiesel subsidy boost in Indonesia), low channel stocks, and continued moderate SMOP prices. Other Asia/Oceania 4.2 4.5 4.5 4.7 4.5 4.7 Demand elsewhere in Asia/Oceania beat expectations in 2014 and modest gains expected in most countries again this year. Europe and FSU 10.4 10.9 11.0 11.2 10.8 11.1 Upward revision in 2014 due to stronger-than-expected NPK output and direct application use. Forecast for 2015 pared back slightly due to net impact of lower crop prices and weaker Euro. Brazil 8.3 9.1 8.4 8.7 8.4 8.7 Record shipments and imports in 2014 and modest inventory build. 2015 demand projected to remain at elevated levels as weaker real more than offsets lower crop prices. Other Latin America 2.4 2.5 2.5 2.6 2.5 2.6 Flat to modest growth expected across most of the region. North America 8.7 10.0 8.7 8.9 8.7 8.9 Shipments last year surged to the highest level since 2004 due to strong on-farm demand, the need to replenish low channel inventories, and ongoing concerns about rail logistics. Shipments expected to revert to a more normal level in 2015. Other 1.3 1.7 1.5 1.6 1.5 1.6 Exceptional growth in other regions such as Africa and the Middle East in 2014 expected to moderate slightly in 2015. Total 53.7 61.1 57.9 59.9 57.9 60.0 Large 2014 upward revision mainly due to increases in China and North America to meet strong demand and refill near-empty channel stocks. Shipments in 2015 are forecast at 58-60 mmt, with a point estimate of 59.0 mmt. Source: CRU and Mosaic. Numbers may not sum to total due to rounding.
