CHANGES IN RAISIO'S COMMUNICATIONS

Taru Narvanmaa, Executive Vice President, Communications and IR of Raisio has
decided to leave the company in order to take a position as a Director of
Communications and Public Affairs at the Technology Industries of Finland in
January 2007.

Taru Narvanmaa comments: "These five years in Raisio have been interesting and
full of action. However, my entire 20 years' working experience is in listed
companies and I feel it is time to move ahead and meet new challenges. Technology
Industries of Finland offers a great opportunity to view the Finnish commercial
and industrial life and a new operating environment in an organization
representing some 1,400 companies."
