Food Ingredients Asia 2010 Recorded Exceptional Results

JAKARTA, Indonesia, October 20, 2010 - The Indonesian edition of Food Ingredients Asia, held in Jakarta last
month, has earned glowing reviews from both visitors and exhibitors. In fact
the show was heading for success months before it opened, with exhibition
space fully booked and a waiting list already in place.

Strong economic growth and the expanding middle class in Indonesia were
seen as key factors in the show's success. With more women entering the
workforce, consumption of convenient processed foods has grown substantially,
while healthy eating is gathering popularity.

"We saw the return of all the big names in the industry at the 2010
show," said Mr. Vincent Brain, Event Director. "And the exhibition
highlighted the importance of Indonesia for future business."

The Opening Ceremony was presided by the General Director of Agro &
Chemical Industry, Ministry of Industry, Mr Benny Wahyudi and Mr Ir Adhi S.
Lukman, President of GAPMMI.

The show provided a unique opportunity for manufacturers to introduce new
and innovative ingredients to the food and beverage industry. Other
highlights included the numerous exhibitors' seminars and associations'
gatherings, as well as the special conference organized by the Indonesian
Association of Food technologists (IAFT/PATPI), who covered emerging issues
and technology developments.

In total, Fi Asia 2010 has featured 362 exhibitors from 28 countries and
was attended by 7,772 food professionals. The next destination for the Food
ingredients exhibition series is Vietnam, with a show taking place on 1 - 2
December in Ho Chi Minh City. Fi Vietnam will include a conference organized
by VAFoST, the Vietnamese Association for Food Science and Technology.
