RAISIO TAKES FURTHER ACTION TO ENHANCE OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY                   

The changing market situation is still posing challenges to the profitability of
the Finnish food chain. Raisio is enhancing the operations of its Business to   
Business Division, as well as its raw material procurement and reception. For   
these reasons, Raisio is initiating mandatory codetermination talks for         
production and economy reasons.                                                 

The codetermination talks will affect approximately 80 Raisio employees, and the
estimated permanent personnel reduction need is about 10 people. Raisio is      
taking these efficiency enhancement measures to streamline and simplify its     
operations in order to secure it's profitability.
