RAISIO AND LANTMÄNNEN DISSOLVE JOINT OWNERSHIP                                  

Raisio plc and Lantmännen, a Swedish corporation have signed an agreement on    
ownership arrangements of their jointly owned companies. According to the       
agreement, Lantmännen will hand over its 25% share of the Finnish mill Melia Ltd
to Raisio. In return, Raisio will hand over its 50% share of the joint venture  
GoGreen AB and its 27% share of the Latvian mill company AS Rigas Dzirnavnieks  
to Lantmännen. The ownership arrangements are expected to improve Raisio's      
operating result by EUR 3-4 million in 2008.                                    

Raisio's CEO Matti Rihko says: ”With Melia wholly owned by Raisio, we will have 
better possibilities to develop the leading cereal brand Elovena independently. 
These agreed ownership arrangements will continue the streamlining of Raisio's  
business operations. They will improve profitability, simplify group structure  
and decision making as well a enhance business management.”
