Chemical Products
Petrochemicals Used to make plastics, resins, fibres, solvents, detergents, etc. World production is around 245 million tons a year
Agrochemicals Various chemical products for agriculture Mainly pesticides, herbicides, fungicides; but also synthetic fertilizers and hormones
Pharmaceuticals Polymers
Large molecules formed of repeated smaller molecules they are all mainly used in plastics
Paints Primary components of paint: binder, pigment, filler, diluent, and additives
Oleochemicals Derived solely from renewable raw materials (biological oils/fats) Can be used in pharmaceuticals, food processing and personal care
Applications
Industrial chemicals and gases are needed in the following applications:
Steelmaking Medical application Fertilizer Semiconductors Cutting and welding Environmental protection Food Gases for breathing
Gases for safety and inerting Glass, ceramics, other
minerals Medicinal gases Metallurgy Rubber, plastics, paint Semiconductor industry Water treatment Petroleum refining Computer-chip manufacturing Beverage carbonation Fiber-optics Aerospace
Big Players in the Industry
Bayer, Dow Chemical, E. I. du Pont de Nemours (DuPont), Huntsman Corporation, ExxonMobil and BASF
Demand
•Total industrial chemical industry sales growing every year•Most increases attributed to higher price, not higher quantity sold
Demand
Key Issues
Rising Demand demand for base chemicals is increasing slowing now in US
Falling Margins Rising oil and natural gas prices cost increase major end-users of chemicals (manufacturers, agricultural firms,
construction products companies, and automakers) reducing purchase levels demand decrease
Regulatory Threat Increasingly stringent regulations regarding confidentiality in the
aftermath of 9/11 are set to decrease the ability of chemical manufacturers to shield any confidential business information (CBI).
The ability to innovate, and to protect innovations through CBI protection, is key to the success of companies in this industry.
Significant Trends
Downsizing rationalising operations and activities and investing selectively
in processes that assist productivity and increase efficiency E-commerce
using E-commerce to improve the efficiency Restructuring
initiating restructuring measures, streamlining their business focus
For example, the sale of DuPont Textiles & Interiors has removed the apparel businesses, which are in secular decline, from DuPont's portfolio, making it possible for DuPont to meet its 6% goal for revenue growth.
Industry Forecasts
American Chemical Society forecasts Production of commodity chemical -> currently
trend is moving to foreign shores (Asia) American Chemical Society forecasts
High price of natural gas, higher production cost Specialty chemical more important in US market, as
commodity chemicals will be produced where the main users will be (china, India)
More R&D based Although it is possible that some R&D will move to
Asia too
Agricultural Chemical
Products
Seeds and genomicCrop protection, pesticidesGrowth regulator Protein or hormone for animals
Demand
Major customersFarmers
Sterile seed -> force farmers to buy new seeds every season
Farmers have to constantly buy new seeds to guarantee optimal yield
End usesFood (vegetables, fruits, meat, dairy)Ethanol (burn food for fuel!)
Food
Food, or crop supply would not change substantially unless there is some sort of scientific breakthrough
Ethanol
First used in 1908Renewal of interest during period of high
oil priceMature industry, hard to get further cost
reductionMainly used as blend in gasoline Energy efficient and cost efficient?
Not an issue because government supports it and public loves it
Ethanol
US market On Jan 31, 2006, President Bush proposed a four-
fold increase in "alternative fuels" during this year's State of the Union address, from 7.5 billion gallons currently to 35 billion gallons by 2017
Present federal law provides for a partial federal excise tax exemption of 51 cents per gallon of ethanol blended into gasoline (expiring in 2008)
Reduce dependence on foreign oil

Ethanol
2005: 3.90 billion gallons of production 4.05 billion gallons of demand
2006 4.86 billion gallons of production 5.4 billion gallons of demand
Currently in US, 114 ethanol biorefineries have the capacity to produce over 5.6 billion gallons annually.
78 ethanol refineries and 7 expansions under construction with a combined annual capacity of more than 6 billion gallons.
Ethanol Supply Projection
By 2015, a third of US corn acres will be used to supply for ethanol production.
Risks
Quite a few environmental groups condemning the use of genetically modified products Fear of contamination with natural genes “Greenpeace is campaigning against Monsanto's
unsafe, unwanted and unnecessary GE crops.” Accusing Monsanto of the following:
Monopolizing the food chain with genetically modified products
Bribing governments to skip environmental assessments
Although no scientific proof that GE food will harm human, according to biotech student
Risks
Commodity price fluctuates Generic products -> violation of
intellectual property to reproduce biotech products
Laws and regulations might change the tax subsidy for ethanolenvironmental damage liabilities
Competition
Production Agrichemical companies
Syngenta (18B) Mosaic (11.6B) Agrium (5.3B)
Seeds companies Government owned corporations Farmers saving seed from one year to the next, harms
demand for new seeds (violation of Monsanto’s license term) Research
Biotechnology research companies State-funded research programs Academic institutions

Hybrid Corn Seed Market Share Argentina is the
only country in region with biotech traits
Europe, Africa breeding applications roughly 2 years behind US
Growth Potential
Future Strategy
Monsanto’s growth in the US corn market will continue
Commercial potential of R&D pipeline International corn opportunity is poised for
growth and improvement Trait technologies are set for global expansion
and upgrades Unlocking untapped value of Seminis (seed
company) Cotton platform represents more growth
Future Strategy
R&D Stages
Future Outlook
Seeds and Genomics Corn and cotton are primary driver, increasing penetration in
approved markets Second generation traits Stacking of multiple traits
Currently seeking regulatory clearances at the state level in US and approvals in other countries
In 2007, higher-value, stacked-trait products will represent a larger share of total U.S. corn seed sales than single trait products
Plans for acquisitions to increase penetration
Future Outlook
Agricultural Productivity Glyphosate herbicides
Increased pricing pressure from generic formulations Although able to maintain decent stream of revenue due to heavy
demand Must remain competitive by actively managing inventory and costs
Selective herbicides Increasing competitive pressures Declining market due to other products such as Roundup Ready
Lawn-and-garden herbicides Depends on brand Increase competition from generic products and cost pressure
Posilac Will be switching manufacturer, not a major impact according to Monsanto Limited growth
Low milk price Requests for r-BST-free milk
Future Outlook
International business Continue to face regulatory environments that are highly
politicized, with volatile and difficult economic environments Business currently operating under state governmental pricing
directives have limited near-term earnings growth. In Brazil, full operation of the regulatory system to approve
additional traits must be achieved for Brazil to be a greater contributor to revenue in seeds and traits
It is likely that a ruling of patent infringement from court cases in Europe will be required before we can expect to capture value from our Roundup Ready soybeans grown in Argentina.
Raw Material prices Petroleum-based products and natural gas Increased near-term production costs, although will not be
material in long term
Future Outlook
High growth expectation and the market likes it
Major Risk Factors
The degree of public acceptance or perceived public acceptance of our biotechnology products
The successful development and commercialization of our pipeline products
Protect intellectual property Adverse outcomes in legal proceedings Subject to extensive regulations Global operations are subject to foreign
regulations Commodity price fluctuation Farmers’ future needs
Major Risk Factors
Environmental groupsPARIS, March 13 (Reuters) - Environmental
group Greenpeace launched a fresh attack on genetically modified maize developed by U.S. biotech giant Monsanto (MON.N: Quote, Profile , Research), saying on Tuesday that rats fed on one version developed liver and kidney problems.
