A/S Trigon Agri: Agreement Signed For Establishment of Ramburs Trigon Joint
Venture for Grains Trading and Storage Management

A/S Trigon Agri hereby announces that it has today signed a Joint Venture
Agreement with Ramburs Group (internationally known as United Grain) for the
establishment of a soft commodities trading and storage management company to be
named Ramburs Trigon. The new company will source and store soft commodities in
Ukraine and Russia selling to clients globally. The company will be 51% owned by
A/S Trigon Agri and 49% by the joint venture partner. The company will employ
the majority of the existing staff of Ramburs Group in Ukraine and take over the
soft commodities trading and storage management operations of Ramburs Group. 

Ramburs Group is a leading independent trading company in the Ukraine,
controlled by Mr Alexei Gavrilov who has experience in the soft commodities
trading business dating back to 1995. Mr Gavrilov is currently the Vice
President of the Ukrainian Agrarian Confederation, the founding member of the
Ukrainian Agrarian Club and is to date the only Ukrainian citizen to have been a
board member of GAFTA (Grain and Feed Traders Association, London). Ramburs
Group is a member of Ukrainian Grain Association and a member of GAFTA. Ramburs
Group has been regularly exporting grain from Ukraine and Russia and handled
trading volumes in excess of 1 million tonnes annually between 2001 and 2006.
Ramburs Group was also the first Ukrainian firm to start CIF terms (Cost,
Insurance and Freight) deliveries of Ukrainian grain to, among other countries,
Brazil, Indonesia, Tunisia, Egypt, Iran and Morocco.

The creation of Ramburs Trigon constitutes an exciting new development for A/S
Trigon Agri and supports the company's strategy to be an integrated cereals
production, storage and marketing firm. A/S Trigon Agri farms land under its own
control in Russia and Ukraine, has the security of its wholly owned storage
facilities and can execute deliveries to end customers worldwide. Joining forces
with Ramburs Group provides A/S Trigon Agri a logical and controlled expansion
into the trading business. Access to the experienced professionals of Ramburs
Group will also contribute significant value in soft commodity storage
management and thus enhance control of the grain elevators acquired by A/S
Trigon Agri.
