Future fertilizer demand?
Higher yields vs lower costs?
• Higher fertilizer prices
• Precision farming
• Seed technology
• Crop protection
• Environmental pressures

Energy prices mainly affect fertilizer costs

Good prospects but…
• Rising prod’n costs
• Environmental pressures
• Greater volatility
• Slower output growth
Risk management has, and
always will be, critical to
success in agriculture

The need to increase productivity growth
• Growing demand for food, feed and fuel
• Increasing competition for land
• Important water constraints
• Uncertain impacts of climate change
Improving agricultural productivity growth is not an option to consider –– it is an essential requirement for increasing global food supplies on a sustainable basis.
OECD Trade & Agriculture 13
• 47% pop’n under severe water stress by 2050
• Irrigation costs rise with energy prices
• Water pricing to agriculture will increase
• 60% freshwater withdrawals used by agr (2010)
• 40% freshwater withdrawals used by agr (2050)
Agriculture share of water use to decline

Global total factor productivity growing
• Slower pace in developing
countries and LDCs
• Faster pace for emerging
and transition economies
• R&D the main driver;
benefits exceed costs
• Public sector remains the
main actor
• Wide diversity in R&D
support

The challenge for governments
Governments need to link
policies to priorities
• Invest in innovation
• Improve sustainability
• Facilitate producer risk
management
OECD Trade & Agriculture 23
Developing countries: enabling environment
Invest in education and extension
Reduce/remove distorting ag/trade policies
Develop better functioning markets
Adapt research and innovation to smallholders
