Uranium production fell dramatically in the 1990s due to low prices and the closure of mines. However, uranium has seen a resurgence in the past decade due to growing demand for nuclear power in countries like China and India. The uranium spot price has risen from $7 per pound in 2002 to as high as $137 in 2007, driving increased exploration worldwide to address supply shortfalls. Over $1.5 billion has been invested in uranium exploration in Canada alone in the past three years. However, utilities have been cautious amid the recession, while Asian buyers aggressively secure long-term supply agreements. The supply crunch could lead to further price increases in the coming years.

Agcapita is Canada's only RRSP and TFSA eligible farmland fund and is part of a family of funds with almost $100 million in assets under management. Agcapita believes farmland is a safe investment, that supply is shrinking and that unprecedented demand for "food, feed and fuel" will continue to move crop prices higher over the long-term. Agcapita created the Farmland Investment Partnership to allow investors to add professionally managed farmland to their portfolios. Agcapita publishes a monthly Agriculture Brief which deals with agriculture specific investment issues along with big picture macro-economic issues.

For years, as memories of Chernobyl and Three Mile Island resonated in the public’s mind, uranium lost much of its luster.
With the fall of the Soviet Union, the Western markets suddenly became ooded with Russian yellowcake and the
bottom fell out of the price of the metal, reaching lows of $7 per pound. This absurdly low price caused many mines to
be completely unfeasible and exploration essentially stopped for over 10 years. Slowly but surely, a massive shortfall in
annual production had been created.
Uranium has enjoyed something of a renaissance in the last seven years though. Now with massive emerging markets,
such as China and India, looking to greatly increase their electrical capabilities, they have made nuclear a priority. The
enormous environmental toll taken by using coal for electrical generation has become all too clear. As the world strives
for more carbon-free sources of power generation, other conventional methods need to pick up the slack. Forms of
‘renewable’ energy are not yet scally competitive nor capable of meeting the current electrical needs of the world.
Nuclear is once again in the public’s mind, but this time in a much more positive light.
The price in the uranium spot market has risen from $7 in 2002 to as much as $137 in June 2007 (though now settled at
$49 as of May 25, 2009). This enormous increase has brought exploration of uranium back into the market’s
consciousness. Over $1.5 billion have been raised from Canadian markets in the last three years for exploration
programs across the world, looking for sites that will help ll the production gap that is still widening. While the
disarmament of nuclear weapons has lled much of this shortfall so far, it’s not a practice that can continue inde nitely.
Europe and North America have a long established history of nuclear use, but national development programs have
been stalled until recently. Along with the massive planned expansions in China, Japan and India, several new reactors
are in the development stage in America, Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany and France as well. These
developments create an enormous supply pressure that will be felt strongly.
North American utilities have become extremely cautious in the midst of the ongoing recession, feeling it unwise to
make long-term agreements to purchase uranium. Asian buyers, on the other hand, have been aggressively trying to
secure as many long-term agreements as necessary with hedged pricing going forward. Asian nuclear consortiums have
been actively buying into strategic development joint ventures to further secure supply. We might well be facing
another price spike given the potential supply crunch. Many analysts predict a near-term spot price of $60-$75 per
pound and ve-to-ten year price of $100-$250.
