4 Who we are and what we do 1. agri benchmark is a global, non-profit network of agricultural economists, advisors, producers and specialists in key sectors of the value chains. 2. We use internationally standardized methods to analyze farms, production systems and their profitability. 3. We combine our farm-level knowledge with our expertise in international commodity markets and value chains. 4. Thereby we are able to provide scientifically consistent and soundly based answers on strategic issues to decision makers in agribusiness, policy and farming. Page 4

21 Summary I. agri benchmark provides a suitable platform to analyze sugar production costs worldwide. II. III. The major sugar exporting countries are already represented in our database aiming to include others like India, Columbia, etc. Brazilian sugarcane industry is facing financial and environmental problems increase the importance of ethanol domestically I. Inefficient factories leaving the market (80 units since 2008) IV. Looking at the raw material production, sugar beet seems to be more competitive. What about industrial costs? Next steps in our network. Page 21
