Wealso finally saw increased activity from Indian buyers, unlike in the previoustwo years, and we resumed sales to this market in 1Q 2015. Latin America gotoff to a relatively slow start compared to the first quarter of 2014, althoughI believe this market has returned to a normal purchasing cycle based onplanting seasonality, where most P2O5 purchases should fall on the second andthird quarters. "Our domestic market has been slow as well, but for a different reason:increased interest rates following the rouble volatility in late 2014 madeborrowing inaccessible for Russian farmers until the Government announced itsagricultural producer support programme in late February 2015. "The pricing environment for phosphate based fertilizers was favourable for thespring planting season compared to 4Q 2014: DAP recovered by over 5% andaveraged USD 483 per tonne FOB Tampa, compared to USD 459 per tonne in 4Q 2014.We were once again able to increase year-on-year production and sales volumesof fertilizers, which I believe clearly demonstrates the success of ourstrategy of focusing on efficiency, modernisation and debottlenecking at ourproduction sites. "Looking forward to the rest of 2015, I believe we will enjoy another year ofsolid demand. While USD-denominated crop prices are lower than a year ago, theweakening euro, Brazilian Real and rouble have improved the competitivepositions of local farmers operating in these currencies. In addition,substantially lower USD fuel prices have made it possible for farmers toallocate more of their budgets to fertilizers in order to increase crop output.Thus we do not see any significant downside risk in this market. "As the global cash cost leader, this gives us every reason to be veryoptimistic about PhosAgro's outlook in terms of financial performance."
