1 Soft Commodity Markets - Upcoming Milestones, and How the Market Could Be Affected September 15, 2014 Judith Ganes President J. Ganes Consulting, LLC

2 Weather & Politics Current Weather Expectations El Nino Yes or No? Development of Atlantic Hurricane Season Potential Impact of Russian Sanctions 2

3 Current Weather Expectations Coffee: Brazil and C America Too Dry FCOJ: Slim Chance of Hurricane Hit Sugar: Post Drought Assessment Ongoing Cotton: Harvest Weather Critical, Some Rain Cocoa: All Great in West Africa 3

4 NOAA Predicting 65% Chance of Fall / Winter El Niño but Downgraded 4

5 Strong El Nino Conditions Reduces Global Cocoa Output Primary climate changes during El Nino events: Dryness in West Africa and South-East Asia to weigh on top three largest cocoa producers Ivory Coast: - 4.7% Ghana: - 6.6% Increased precipitation in parts of Brazil Southern Brazil (cocoa producing states): % Globally cocoa output is reduced by 5% in El Nino years compared to the 6 year average 5

6 No Clear Correlation Between El Nino and Global Sugar Production El Nino events tend to cause off-setting gains and losses across the global sugar market Primary climate changes during El Nino events: Increased precipitation in Brazil 4.5% higher rainfall in principal growing state of Sao Paulo Correlation with production only seen for medium and severe El Nino Events Production decreased by 1.48% compared to 3 year average Rains in Southern India, Dryness in Northern India Indian production located in Northern and Southern states No clear correlation due to wide-geographic area and different harvesting times for each state Increased precipitation in China Production highly correlated with El Nino Episodes 1.25% above 3 year average 6

7 August NOAA Hurricane Outlook Favorable for Orange Crop 7 Currently a 70% chance of a below-normal Atlantic hurricane season Conditions, including potential El Nino, serve to suppress storm development Below-normal Atlantic hurricane season would include: 7 12 Named storms (39 mph winds or higher) 12 = 30 year average 3 6 Hurricanes (74 mph winds or higher) 6 = 30 year average 0 2 Major Hurricanes (111 mph winds or higher) 1 2 = 30 year average Though storm activities will be less frequent, they could have a greater than normal impact on already stressed trees

8 Impact of Russian Sanctions May Weigh on Chocolate Companies Price Ratio to Beans Butter Imports Reduced Russian chocolate imports may reduce ability of chocolate manufacturers to pass on prices to consumers With butter priced over $8,500 per ton, chocolate makers may need to seek out alternative fats or risk margin erosion Jan-04 Aug-06 Mar-09 Oct-11 May-14 8
