Agrium FACT BOOK 2015–2016

profile
( all figures in US $, except where noted )
Agrium is a major distributor of crop inputs and services in
North America, South America and Australia, and a leading
global producer and marketer of agricultural nutrients. We
produce and market the three primary nutrients: nitrogen,
phosphate and potash, as well as ammonium sulphate,
and controlled-release fertilizers. A key differentiator of
Agrium is that we are the only publicly traded company that
crosses the 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. Agrium has approximately 138 million shares
outstanding and a market capitalization of approximately
U.S.$11.7 billion (as of May 6, 2016). Agrium employs
approximately 15,200 people globally who are dedicated
to achieving our vision of being the world’s leading provider
of agricultural inputs, services and solutions.
Agrium has two complementary business units which
operate across the agricultural input value chain:
• Our Mission •
Help feed the world.
• Our Vision •
To be the world's leading provider of
agricultural products, services and solutions.
December 2015 and were granted a new allocation of 10.3
percent of 2016 Canpotex volumes. The expansion of our
Borger, Texas nitrogen facility is on-track to deliver 610,000
metric tonnes of urea production capacity in early 2017.
Through our Retail Business Unit we operate the largest
global direct-to-grower agricultural retail operation with
product offerings in seed, crop protection, crop nutrient
products, merchandise, and agronomic services. We
partner with growers in North America, Australia and
Argentina, and we are a leading retailer in each of these
geographic regions. As of December 2015, Agrium had
over 1,460 retail facilities globally.
Our Wholesale Business Unit manufactures, markets and
distributes crop nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphates,
and potash. We service our customers through a network
of over 100 distribution warehouses, supplied by 14 wholly
owned production facilities and two joint venture facilities
strategically located worldwide. Our strengths include a
low cost in-market position, and the ability to leverage our
extensive retail distribution network.
We own a 50 percent stake in Profertil S.A., an Argentinebased
manufacturer and wholesale distributor of nitrogen
products while YPF S.A., a state-controlled oil and gas
company in Argentina, owns the other half. Debottlenecking
was completed in 2014 with commissioning and startup
completed in 2015. This increased Agrium’s share of
production by ~70,000 tonnes. We have a 26 percent
equity interest in MISR Fertilizer Production Company,
S.A.E. (MOPCO) of Egypt. Our nitrogen facility expansion
in Egypt added two new urea trains and construction was
completed in 2015.
We completed the tie-in of the brownfield expansion of
our Vanscoy Potash Operations in Saskatchewan, Canada
in 2014, and we completed our Canpotex proving run in
FACT BOOK 2015–2016 Agrium 03

history
Agrium was formed to facilitate the reorganization of the
fertilizer division of Cominco Ltd. and the acquisition of
the fertilizer assets of Alberta Energy Company in 1993.
Agrium’s shares were first publicly listed on the Toronto
Stock Exchange in 1993 and traded on the New York Stock
Exchange on October 4, 1996.
Agrium established its agricultural Retail division through
the acquisitions of Crop Production Services (CPS) in September
1994 and Western Farm Service (WFS) in January
1995. Also in 1995, Agrium established an international
presence in Argentina under the trade name Agroservicios
Pampeanos S.A. (ASP). In 2006, Agrium continued to build
its retail franchise through the acquisition of Royster-Clark’s
retail operations. Retail expansion continued in 2007 with
the acquisition of ADM’s 18 retail centers and 14 satellites
in Kansas and Oklahoma. In 2008, Agrium completed the
acquisition of United Agri Products (UAP), the company’s
largest acquisition to date. This was a transforming transaction
for Agrium, as the acquisition further expanded our
retail presence in the United States, improved our earnings
diversification by increasing the profit contribution from our
Retail business unit and diversified Agrium’s product mix
by increasing our sales in crop protection products (CPP).
Upon completion of the acquisition of UAP, Agrium’s retail
branches in the United States increased from 489 locations
to 826. Agrium continued its Retail division growth with
the establishment of 65 retail outlets in Western Canada
through a number of transactions in 2009 and 2010, the
acquisition of 24 retail outlets in Argentina in July 2010, and
our entry into Australia with the acquisition of AWB Limited’s
Landmark business in December 2010. In October
2013, Agrium acquired the majority of Viterra’s Agri-products
business, which increased our Canadian Retail presence
by over 200 locations.
The growth of Agrium’s Wholesale business was initiated
with the acquisition of Nu-West Industries, a phosphate
producer in Idaho in 1995. Agrium subsequently merged
with Viridian in December 1996, substantially increasing
the size of the company. In 1997, Agrium announced the
development of the phosphate rock reserve at Kapuskasing,
Ontario to obtain a domestic rock supply for the Redwater
facility. Production at the mine began in July 1999. In
1998, Agrium also acquired a phosphate rock mine located
close to our Conda facility in Idaho to establish security of
supply. Agrium acquired UNOCAL’s (Union Oil of California)
agricultural products division in September of 2000.

Agrium FACT BOOK 2015–2016

history
In 1998, Agrium expanded into the Argentina market with
a 50 percent ownership in Profertil S.A. with production in
Bahía Blanca, Argentina. In 2005, Agrium acquired the Western
Canadian fertilizer distribution assets from Imperial Oil.
In 2008, Agrium acquired a 70 percent equity position in
Common Market Fertilizers S.A. (CMF), one of Western
Europe's largest fertilizer distribution companies; in April
2010 the remaining 30 percent was also acquired and CMF
became Agrium Europe.
In 2014, Agrium completed the tie-in of the brownfield expansion
of the Vanscoy Potash Operations in Saskatchewan,
Canada, and we will continue to ramp up production to the
full one million incremental tonnes over the next year. The
construction of our 610,000 tonne urea expansion of our
Borger, Texas nitrogen facility is scheduled to be completed
by the end of 2016.
In 2008, Agrium entered into an agreement with MOPCO
of Egypt, whereby MOPCO acquired the previous EAgrium
project, and EAgrium shareholders obtained a 26 percent
equity interest in the combined entity. The combined entity
includes an existing 650,000 tonne urea facility. In late 2009,
MOPCO secured financing for tripling the production of the
existing nitrogen facility.

South America
Investing in South America provides an opportunity to grow
where agriculture is growing. Our current operations, Profertil,
Utilfértil and ASP will allow us to leverage our strengths
as we enter new markets. In 2009, we opened two retail
farm branches in Uruguay. In 2010, ASP acquired 24 retail
outlets and a formulation plant from DuPont in Argentina.
In 2012, ASP entered Brazil with the acquisition of Utilfértil
Indústria E Comércio De Fertilizantes Ltda. (Utilfértil).
Argentina
Argentina is the second largest producer of crops in South
America; with approximately 39 million hectares of arable
land, its major crops are corn, wheat and soybeans. Nutrient
consumption in 2014 was 840, 624, and 48 thousand
metric tonnes of nitrogen, phosphate and potash, respectively.
From 2016 to 2020, Argentina’s compound annual
growth rate for total nitrogen, phosphate and potash consumption
is projected to be 5 percent. In 2014, crop protection
product sales were $1.9 billion and seed sales were
$1.6 billion. Agrium established an international presence
in 1995 in Argentina operating under the trade name ASP
(fully owned by Agrium). In 1998 Agrium established a 50
percent interest in the Profertil joint venture.
Brazil
Brazil is one of the largest and fastest growing fertilizer
import markets in the world, with a projected 3 percent
compound annual growth of nutrient consumption
between 2015 and 2017. Brazil has the fourth highest
consumption of crop nutrients in the world and is the
world’s second largest import market. Nutrient consumption
in 2014 was 3.9, 4.7 and 5.4 million metric tonnes for
nitrogen, phosphate and potash respectively. In 2014, crop
protection product sales were $11.9 billion and seed sales
were over $3.7 billion. Looking forward, Brazil is one of
the few countries in the world with a land base that enables
continued expansion of its cultivated area. Growth in
planted areas and yields are expected to increase Brazil’s
agricultural production in the near future and going forward,
position the country as the lead exporter of several agricultural
products including soybean, corn, beef, sugarcane,
oranges, coffee and poultry.

australia, asia and pacific rim markets
Australia
The $49 billion farm sector in Australia produces a variety of
crops including grains, vegetables, cotton, sugarcane and
pasture land for livestock. With a relatively small population
of 24 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 relatively flat compared to historic trends.
China
China has the largest population in the world, with 1.4 billion
residents representing 19 percent of the global population.
China has 8 percent of the world’s arable land with
approximately 107 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 cropping
area in recent years and its stated goal is to remain selfsufficient
in grain production. Given a finite arable land
base, grain yields will have to increase to keep pace with
demand growth.
India
Forecasts indicate that by 2025 India will become the fifth
largest consumer economy in the world. While urbanization
has not occurred as fast as some parts of Asia, the
urban population is expected to grow significantly in the
coming years. 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 156 million hectares of arable
land. The major crops in India are rice, wheat, millet, cotton
and pulses. Fertilizer consumption in 2014 was 16.8, 5.7
and 2.4 million metric tonnes for nitrogen, phosphate and
potash, respectively. In 2014, crop protection product sales
were $1.8 billion and seed sales were $0.7 billion.
Indian agriculture is highly regulated as both fertilizer and
crop prices are controlled by the government.
In 2014, crop protection product sales were $5.2 billion and
seed sales were $0.2 billion.

european and former soviet union markets
Europe produces a diversity of crops and engages in
differing agricultural practices due to variety in climate
and fertilization patterns across the continent. In 2014 (1) ,
Europe consumed 16.2, 4.4 and 4.8 million metric tonnes
of nitrogen, phosphate and potash, respectively. In 2014
crop protection chemicals sales were $13.9 billion and seed
sales were $7.8 billion. In Europe, there are approximately
280 million hectares of arable land. The EU-15 (2) is a growth
market for environmentally friendly crop nutrient and crop
protection products. In contrast, the countries in the
EU-13 (3) and Eastern Europe (4) are less mature in terms of
application rates of nitrogen, phosphate and potash. In
general, these are growth markets for crop inputs, both in
terms of consumption and range of products.
Headquartered in Brussels, Belgium, Agrium Europe
employs approximately 80 people and has six sales
offices in six different countries. Agrium Europe purchases,
distributes and sells approximately 1 million metric tonnes
of nitrogen, phosphate and potash fertilizers in Europe.

africa and middle eastern markets
Africa and the Middle East are markets with significant
future growth potential. Our ownership interest in the
MOPCO nitrogen facility in Egypt provides us with a strong
presence in the region. In 2014, Africa and the Middle
East consumed 5.2, 2.8 and 0.9 million metric tonnes of
nitrogen, phosphate and potash, respectively. In 2014,
crop protection product sales were $2.2 billion and traded
seed sales were $0.8 billion.
Egypt and Iran are the largest nutrient consumers in Africa
and the Middle East. This region is especially important in
production and exports, particularity nitrogen and phosphates.
The top five producing countries (based on NPK
nutrient tonnes) in the region are Morocco, Saudi Arabia,
Egypt, Iran and Algeria.
Agriculture contributes significantly to the GDP of Africa and
the Middle East and there is significant growth potential,
particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. Available arable land
in Africa and the Middle East is approximately 231 million
hectares and 37 million hectares respectively. The major
crops of this region are corn, sorghum, wheat and millet.
Corn is a major crop produced in both Africa and the
Middle East, with 75 million tonnes produced in 2013 and
approximately 35 million hectares harvested.
