Last year, it reached seven billion, and in 2040, the United Nations expects it to be around nine billion. The organization noted in a recent report that the globe is running out of time to ensure that there’s enough water, energy and food for the rising population, as each year we’ll have more mouths to feed. And the U.N. warns that if the world is unsuccessful in tackling these problems, it could send three billion people into poverty. The Seeds for a Commodity Supercycle According to U.N. estimates, by 2030 the globe will need at least 50% more food. And in a rapidly changing environment, new limits ]]></description>

Increased revenues from the sale of hepatitis C virus (HCV) treatment, Incivek (telaprevir) helped record positive earnings.

Vertex Pharma’s third quarter revenues consisted of revenue earned from the sale of Incivek ($419.6 million), royalty revenue (up 4.5% to $8.5 million) and collaborative revenue (up 137.9% to $231.1 million).

CF Industries delivered $6.87 per share in the second quarter, striding ahead of the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $5.94. However, total sales of $1.8 billion missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.3 billion. Cash and cash equivalents increased to $1.36 billion as of June 30, 2011 from $797.7 million as of December 31, 2010. The company was also successful in reducing its debt to $1.61 billion as of June 30, 2011 from $1.95 billion as of December 31, 2010. Management is expecting farm income to set a new record this year and believes that the farmers are going to plan a very large corn planting next year. ]]></description>

Management is expecting farm income to set a new record this year, and believes that farmers are going to plan a very large corn planting next year. The company expects the corn stocks-to-use ratio to remain in the mid-single-digits for the 2011 marketing year, supporting elevated corn prices. This should provide growers with a compelling incentive to reinvest some of their harvest income in crop inputs. CF Industries has a good forward order book with attractive margins. We therefore upgrade our recommendation to Outperform from Neutral and have increased the target price to $210.00 from $154.00.

(CF) announced that it has resumed production at its Port Neal nitrogen complex which is located in Sergeant Bluff, Iowa, near Sioux City on the Missouri River. The company had temporarily suspended production at the facility a few weeks back due to rising water levels near the plant.

The company will continue monitoring the situation in light of high water which is expected to continue for several weeks.

(AGU),a leading Canadian farm dealer and fertilizer producer, now expects its second-quarter 2011 diluted EPS from continuing operations (earnings per share) to be in the range of $4.10 to $4.40, up from its prior expectation of $3.38 to $3.88 diluted earnings per share. The increase in the forecast was attributable to very strong Retail performance and increasing nutrient pricing supported by continued strong crop fundamentals. Currently, Agrium expects its first half of 2011 diluted EPS from continuing operations to be in the range of $5.12 to $5.42. The guidance does not include any additional impact from second quarter share-based payment expense or mark-to-market gains or losses on natural gas or other commodity hedge positions.

The current Zacks Consensus Estimate for the fourth quarter is $2.59, representing a significant annualized growth of 80.07%.

		<description><![CDATA[Investors’ optimism helped markets close higher as stocks continued to gain momentum after an upbeat manufacturing report released by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. The report helped energy and material share prices to go up despite weak Citigroup results and sliding prices of Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL). In the absence of any other major economic news which could sway the markets, the Dow posted a new 52-week intraday high. The S&#38;P 500 and the tech driven Nasdaq also made gains and stopped just short of recording new 52-week highs. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose by 0.43% to 11,837.93. The S&#38;P 500 added 0.14% to 1,295.02. The tech laden, Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.38%, to 2,765.85. On the New York Stock Exchange, advancing stocks at 1,626 were clearly the gainers ]]></description>

Alnylam, founded in 2002 and headquartered in Cambridge, Massachusetts, focuses on developing novel therapeutics based on a biological breakthrough known as RNA (Ribo Nucleic Acid) interference (RNAi). Alnylam’s founders pioneered the discovery of RNAi, and the company is currently utilizing this technology to build a pipeline of drug candidates for the treatment of a wide array of diseases. Key programs in the areas of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Parkinson’s disease (PD), cystic fibrosis (CF) and spinal cord injury round out the company’s core focus. Alnylam generates revenues from research collaborations, grants and licensing of the RNAi technology outside its core focus area. Alnylam has partnerships with several large pharmaceutical companies, such as Novartis (NVS), ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Shares of Potash Corporation of Saskatchewan Inc. (POT), the world’s largest fertilizer company by capacity, shot up 28% and closed at $143.17 on August 17, 2010 after rebuffed mining giant BHP Billiton Ltd’s (BHP) hostile acquisition proposal. It was a $38.6 billion (all in cash) offer, which Potash turned down, citing that the offer grossly undervalues the company and its future growth prospects. The fertilizer industry is witnessing a consolidation phase with a steady rise in demand for crop nutrients like potash over the past year. The Potash-BHP Billiton saga comes in just after the year-long take over battle between three North American fertilizer producers:  Agrium Inc. (AGU), CF Industries (CF) and Terra Industries (TRA), which with CF acquiring Terra. BHP Billiton’s Offer BHP Billiton, the world’s largest mining company, ]]></description>

AWB accepted Agrium&#8217;s A$1.24 billion (US $1.19 billion) acquisition offer discarding Australian grain maker, GrainCorp Limited&#8217;s all-stock proposal of A$885 million ($850 million).

		<description><![CDATA[OUTLOOK After the sharp declines in the last two years, we expect worldwide chemical production (excluding pharmaceuticals) to recover, albeit at a slow rate. At a global level, we currently expect that chemical production will require another couple of years to return to production levels seen before the crisis. In industrialized countries, severe declines in production as a result of the global financial and economic crisis will have longer-lasting effects. The North American chemical production is expected to experience above-average growth in 2010, with domestic demand improving from the key customer industries. Chemical giant BASF is expecting about 10% growth in the U.S. chemical industry on the back of rising demand for exports. We believe aggressive efforts in working capital reductions, supply chain optimization and productivity improvement should yield margin ]]></description>

(CF) fell 1.82% and closed at $93.19 after it pulled out its offer to acquire rival fertilizer company, Terra Industries Inc. (TRA). CF Industries announced yesterday that it is no longer pursuing the acquisition deal. Deerfield, Illinois-based CF Industries has been pursuing a hostile acquisition of Terra since January of last year. However, Terra’s shareholders has been repeatedly rebuffing CF’s offer. In its last bid, CF had increased its offer price for Terra by 12% to $4.6 billion. CF Industries had bought about 7% of Terra, which it claims to have sold with a net gain that more than offset the expenses it incurred in connection with its proposed acquisition. Terra shares closed Thursday up 5 cents at $32.66, but lost $3.61 ]]></description>

This is the fifth time that Terra has rejected CF’s $4 billion takeover proposal on grounds of undervaluation.

CF’s proposed exchange ratio of 0.465 CF shares per Terra share (which CF plans to reduce in case Terra declares its special cash dividend of $7.50 per share) does not reflect Terra’s much larger contribution of nitrogen results to the combined entity. While Terra would contribute about 59% of the nitrogen results of the combined entity, its shareholders would receive only 48.5% of the equity pre-dividend, reduced ]]></description>
