38 Prospects next twelve months Farmer grain margins support strong fertilizer demand Part of the drop in fertilizer deliveries may be a pipeline effect Grain stocks-to-use remain at historical lows Grain production estimated to drop substantially in Latin-America following reduced fertilizer application Few signs today of a drop in global food consumption matching the likely grain production loss, indicating tighter grain market and fertilizer recovery

46 Currency gain/loss first quarter Average net US dollar debt position was reduced from USD 2.5 billion in fourth quarter 28 to around USD 2 billion in first quarter Net currency gain reported was due to following exposures: 1. The US dollar debt hedge of future earnings In Q1 29, hedge was reduced towards the middle of the USD.9 1.5 billion range Approximately 35 % of the hedge was kept in units with EUR as base currency, remainder was kept towards the NOK 2. The US dollar debt in various emerging markets financing fertilizer inventories The exposure was reduced from USD 1 billion to USD.7 billion The exposure was mainly towards BRL (5%), ZAR and THB The debt level in emerging markets will fluctuate with fertilizer seasons 3. Net euro debt in the range of 15-3 million towards the NOK USD depreciated 3% vs. NOK during Q1 29, it appreciated about 5% vs. the EUR and up to 5% vs. Yara s main emerging market currencies giving a currency gain of NOK 55 million
