We prefer midstream processors over upstream players 5
2009 has been the year for soft commodities and agri commodity players 5
Soft commodity prices expected to maintain price strength in 1H10 6
Palm oil — watch out for CPO prices after 1Q10F strength 6
Supply pressures on oilseeds and vegetable oils to ease in 2H10; grains to lead
price performance in 2010F 6
Earnings support should continue for regional agri players in 2010F 7
Corporate actions and inorganic activity will drive news flow 7
We like Wilmar for its franchise; we prefer Noble over Olam on valuations and

Soft commodity prices expected to remain strong in 1H10 11
Palm oil — watch out for CPO prices after 1Q10F strength 12
We expect CPO prices to strengthen in 1Q10F 12
Maintain our full-year 2010F CPO assumption of RM2,500/mT 12
Consumption sustained even through economic turbulence 12
Sell into strength of 1Q10 CPO price for Malaysian names; SGX listed-names
offer better value, in our view 14
Refining margins likely to remain stable 15
Soy: 1H10 to be driven by supply and 2H10 by price pressures 16

policies in Argentina 16
However, favourable supply outlook has led to a price correction 16
Chinese imports rose because of the government policy on pricing, but have
fallen recently 17
Oil/meal prices should remain firm in the near term due to supply shortages 18
Margins rose to historical highs, but seem to have corrected 18
We expect crush margins to correct sequentially but remain at healthy levels 19
Strong demand and weak production to support grain prices 20
Themes — weather patterns, policy decisions, USD and crude oil
support 21
Crude oil and US dollar outlook supportive 21
Weather patterns remain an uncertainty 22
Emerging economies to remain key demand drivers 23
Environmental concerns regarding palm oil to continue, compromise needed, in
our view 26
Business model transformations in the offing 27
Olam’s switch from an asset-light to asset-medium model 27
Potential returns from last few years’ investments and restructuring will drive
Noble’s growth for the next few years 27
Wilmar’s current businesses hitting a wall; rice and flour to lead growth from here 28
Sime Darby’s continued expansion into China 29
