This presentation contains "forward-looking information" within the meaning of applicable Canadian securities legislation and United States securities laws.
Such forward-looking information is provided for the purposes of assisting the reader in understanding the business operations, strategy, financial
performance and condition of Ceres. Readers are cautioned that such statements may not be appropriate for other purposes.
Forward-looking information may include, but is not limited to, statements regarding future operations and results, anticipated business prospects and
financial performance of Ceres and its subsidiaries, expectations or projections about the future, strategies and goals for growth, anticipated capital
projects, construction and completion dates and the expected financial and operational consequences of future commitments. Generally, forward-looking
information can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "plans", "expects" or "does not expect", "is expected", "scheduled",
"intends", "anticipates" or "does not anticipate", "believes" or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain actions, events or results
"may", "could", "would", "might", or "will be taken", "occur", or "be achieved". Forward-looking information is based on a number of assumptions and subject
to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-
looking information. Key assumptions upon which such forward-looking information is based are listed in the "Forward-Looking Information" section of the
Annual Information Form.
Although Ceres believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable and represent Ceres’ internal projections,
expectations and beliefs at this time, such statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties which may cause Ceres’ actual performance and
results in future periods to differ materially from any estimates or projections of future performance or results expressed or implied by such forward-looking
statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the fund’s expectations include, among other things, among others,
risks related to weather, politics and governments, changes in environmental and other laws and regulations, competitive factors in agricultural, food
processing and feed sectors, construction and completion of capital projects, labor, equipment and material costs, access to capital markets, interest and
currency exchange rates, technological developments, global and local economic conditions, the ability of Ceres to successfully implement strategic
initiatives and whether such strategic initiatives will yield the expected benefits, the operating performance of the Corporation’s assets, the availability and
price of commodities and regulatory environment, processes and decisions. While management considers these assumptions to be reasonable based on
currently available information, they may prove to be incorrect.
The forward-looking information contained in this presentation relate only to events or information, as of the date of this presentation. Except as specifically
required by law, Ceres undertakes no obligation update forward-looking information if circumstances or management's estimates or opinions should change,
except as required by applicable securities laws.

Soybean Crush & Non-Ag Supply Chain Services Overview
11
Diversification & adding new businesses / P&Ls contribute to more steady and stable financial results.
Jordan Soybean Crush
• Expanded capacity by 50%, add storage for meal and oil, and
debottleneck the site (on time & under budget)
• Largest soybean crush business in Manitoba
• Positioned to provide sustainability solutions for key accounts in the
Manitoba market
• Adding renewable fuel customers as an outlet for soybean oil
Supply Chain Services
• Propane business is positioned to grow with increases in NGL
production in southern Saskatchewan and North Dakota
• Lumber transload volume provides additional outlet for northern
SK producers; steady growth
• Fertilizer, with Koch Industries, is experiencing steady growth
• Chemical transload businesses continue to experience
incremental growth
• Over time, new opportunities emerge and volumes are expected
to increase
Canola Crush Overview
12
Canola Crush is preferred for it’s high oil yield, resulting in a forecasted doubling of crush margins in the decade to come.
Ceres Canola Crush Project in Northgate
• Northgate is well-suited for a crush plant with land, rail infrastructure,
water, local canola supply and a BNSF connection to demand
• Orders have been placed for key equipment, site studies are nearly
complete and full engineering is underway
• Expect to break ground spring 2022 with the plant online during the
last half of 2024
Renewable Diesel Driving Crush Demand
• Expect RD capacity to hit 4.0 billion gallons by 2024 (4x growth)
requiring +10 MMT of incremental vegetable oil feedstock
• In oil-driven market, margins will be strong for all oilseed
processors – especially for high-oil seeds like Canola
• Industry forecasts point to very strong crush margins over the next
decade as the industry adjusts to RD
