INTERIM REPORT 1 JANUARY - 30 SEPTEMBER 2010                               
    
RAISIO'S GROWTH CONTINUES                                                
      

July-September 2010, continuing operations                           
          

- Raisio's growth continued as planned and profitability remains
stable. 
- Net sales grew by nearly 25% amounting to EUR 118.9 million
(Q3/2009: 
EUR 95.5 million).          
- The EBIT was EUR 6.1 million
(Q3/2009: EUR 7.3 million) accounting for 5.1% 
(7.7%) of net sales.          
                                                 
- Strong growth of the
Brands Division continued: net sales +45%. 
- Profitability of the feeds
continues to show slow improvement, but the
difficult market situation of
vegetable oil and malt weakened the Business to
Business Division's result.


Outlook remains unchanged                                                  
    

Raisio has moved to a growth phase that covers the years 2010 and 2011.
We      
expect a considerable increase in net sales in 2010. Our target is to
maintain  
the earlier level of profitability at the beginning of the growth
phase even    
though the costs of growth projects impact the Group's result
and the market    
situation in Business to Business Division will probably
continue to be         
challenging.

Chief Executive's Review                                             
          

“Raisio continues the implementation of its growth strategy. Our
aim is to grow 
to become the leading provider of healthy and ecological
snacks in Europe.      
Integration of the British Glisten, acquired last
spring, as part of Raisio     
Group is proceeding according to plan. We are
actively working to implement new,
strategically suitable acquisitions. At the
Group level, we aim to maintain the 
profitability of 5% also during the
growth phase.                               

Several factors weakening the
profitability of the Business to Business Division
were realized
simultaneously in the review period. In case the present factors  
affecting
the Business to Business Division's operations remain substantially  

unchanged, we are prepared for temporary further weakening in the Division's 
  
profitability before year-end.                                             
    

During the growth phase, we are proceeding according to plan. Our
growth        
projects increase the cost base and, regrettably, the Business
to Business      
Division cannot contribute to the implementation of Raisio's
strategy. At the   
same time, we are pleased to have been able to maintain
the profitability of the
whole Group at the target level.”                    
                          

RESULT FROM THE GROUP'S CONTINUING OPERATIONS    
                              

Net sales                                    
                                  

Raisio Group's net sales from continuing
operations in July-September totalled  
EUR 118.9 million (Q3/2009: EUR 95.5
million), which is 24.5% more than in the  
comparison period. Net sales of
the Brands Division were EUR 63.0 million (EUR  
43.5 million), those of the
Business to Business Division EUR 56.3 million (EUR 
54.2 million) and those
of other operations EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.2 million).  
The main driver of
net sales growth was the merger of Raisio UK with Raisio     
Group reporting.
                                                               

In
January-September, net sales was EUR 325.2 million (EUR 284.5 million),
which
is 14.3% more than in the corresponding period in 2009. Net sales from
outside  
Finland represented 42.9% (33.7%) of the total, amounting to EUR
139.5 million  
(EUR 96.0 million).                                           
                 

Result                                                    
                     

Raisio's EBIT from continuing operations in
July-September was EUR 6.1 million  
(EUR 7.3 million and, including one-off
items EUR 7.0 million) accounting for   
5.1% (7.7% and, including one-off
items, 7.4%) of net sales. A donation of EUR  
250,000 to the University of
Turku was included in the third quarter EBIT of    
2009. The EBIT of the
Brands Division amounted to EUR 6.5 million (EUR 7.3      
million), that of
the Business to Business Division EUR 0.0 million (EUR 0.3    
million) and
that of other operations EUR -0.4 million (EUR -0.5 million and,   
including
one-off items, EUR -0.8 million).                                     

In
January-September, the Group's EBIT was EUR 16.4 million (EUR 16.3 million  

and, including one-off items, EUR 15.3 million). Regardless of the Business
to  
Business Division's result, the Group's EBIT is line with the company's  
      
objective, i.e. 5% of net sales.                                       
        

Depreciations and impairments, allocated to operations in the
income statement, 
amounted to EUR 4.2 million (EUR 3.7 million) in
July-September and to EUR 11.8 
million (EUR 11.5 million) in
January-September.                                

The third-quarter pre-tax
result was EUR 6.8 million (EUR 7.0 million and,      
including one-off
items, EUR 6.8 million). The Group's pre-tax result for      

January-September was EUR 14.3 million (EUR 15.6 million and, including
one-off 
items, EUR 14.4 million). Net financial items for July-September
totalled EUR   
0.8 million (EUR -0.3 million and, including one-off items,
EUR -0.3 million).  
The net financial items for January-September totalled
EUR -2.2 million (EUR    
-0.8 million and, including one-off items, EUR -0.9
million). Raisio's post-tax 
result from continuing operations totalled EUR
4.9 million in July-September    
(EUR 5.2 million and, including one-off
items, EUR 5.0 million). The post-tax   
result for January-September totalled
EUR 10.2 million (EUR 11.2 million and,   
including one-off items, EUR 10.3
million). Earnings per share for              
July-September were EUR 0.03
(EUR 0.03 and, including one-off items, EUR 0.03)  
and for January-September
EUR 0.07 (EUR 0.07 and, including one-off items, EUR  
0.07).                 
                                                        

Balance sheet and
cash flow                                                     

Raisio's
balance sheet total at the end of September amounted to EUR 465.8     

million (31 December 2009: EUR 444.2 million). Shareholders' equity totalled
EUR
319.9 million at the end of September (31 December 2009: EUR 322.0
million),    
while equity per share was EUR 2.04 (31 December 2009: EUR
2.06).               

The Group's interest-bearing debt was EUR 73.5 million
at the end of September  
(31 December 2009: EUR 62.8 million). Net
interest-bearing debt was EUR -58.7   
million (31 December 2009: EUR -150.2
million). The equity ratio totalled 69.0 %
(31 December 2009: 73.4%) and net
gearing was -18.3% (31 December 2009: -46.6%).
Return on investment was 5.4%
(31 December 2009: 6.1%).                         

Cash flow from business
operations was EUR 15.2 million (Q3/2009: EUR 21.3      
million) in
July-September and EUR 10.3 million (EUR 27.6 million) in          

January-September.                                                           
  

Working capital amounted to EUR 80.0 million at the end of the review
period    
(Q3/2009: EUR 82.2 million). Raisio's interest-bearing financial
assets amounted
to some EUR 132 million at the end of the review period.
Including securities   
investments, the Group's financial assets totalled
approximately EUR 147 million
at the end of the review period.                
                               

Investments                                 
                                   

Gross investments in the third quarter,
excluding investments in securities,    
were EUR 2.1 million (EUR 3.0
million) accounting for 1.8% (3.2%) of net sales. 
Gross investments of the
Brands Division were EUR 0.6 million (EUR 1.1 million),
those of the Business
to Business Division EUR 1.3 million (EUR 1.7 million) and
those of other
operations EUR 0.2 million (EUR 0.3 million).                    

Gross
investments in January-September were EUR 48.6 million (EUR 7.0 million). 
The
largest investment of 2010 has been the acquisition of Glisten's shares.   

Raisio paid EUR 22.2 million for Glisten's share capital and financed the    
  
repayment of Glisten's credits at the time of acquisition, granted by
financial 
institutions, in a total amount of EUR 36.5 million. Raisio has
also invested in
new, consumer-friendly and easy-to-use packages by renewing
packaging lines in  
Finland.                                                 
                      

Research and development                             
                          

The basis of Raisio's research and development is
to provide consumers and      
customers with products and solutions that meet
their requirements. Recent      
research evidence and new product
applications are given emphasis in the        
Benecol's product development.
In the review period, the research and           
development of foods focused
on new type of innovative Elovena snacks and       
packaging technology. In
the feeds, the focus remains on ensuring the well-being
of animals, improving
the effectiveness and profitability of livestock          
production as well
as reducing environmental impacts.                           
                
                                                               
In October,
after the review period, Raisio published carbon footprint         

calculations on its feeds. Carbon footprint calculation and measuring of the 
  
environmental impacts of feeds have improved Raisio's knowledge on its own 
    
production chain. These measures also help reduce the environmental
impacts of  
livestock production with the use of more effective feeding
solutions. The      
impact of environmental issues is even more significant
in the feed chain than  
in Raisio's brands business due to remarkably larger
raw material flows. Carbon 
footprint calculation of feeds provides reliable
source information to the      
customer industry's product development
helping them to meet consumer needs.    
Environmental impacts of food
production will determine consumer choices even   
more in the future. We will
also continue the carbon footprint calculation and  
labelling of our foods.  
                                                      

The Group's
investment in research and development in July-September totalled   
EUR 1.5
million (EUR 1.3 million), or 1.3% (1.3%) of net sales. The research
and
development investments of the Brands Division were EUR 1.2 million (EUR
0.9    
million) and those of the Business to Business Division EUR 0.3
million (EUR 0.3
million). The Group's investment in research and development
in                 
January-September totalled EUR 4.4 million (EUR 4.3
million), or 1.4% of net    
sales (1.5%).                                    
                              

SEGMENT INFORMATION                          
                                  

BRANDS DIVISION                          
                                      

Net sales of the Brands Division grew
by 45% amounting to EUR 63.0 million (EUR 
43.5 million). The main driver of
net sales growth was the merger of Glisten,   
Raisio's business operations in
Western Europe, with the Group's financial      
reporting. In the review
period, the sales of Elovena, Sunnuntai and Carlshamn  
developed favourably.
Net sales of the Brands Division were EUR 170.9 million   
(EUR 132.1 million)
in January-September, representing year-over-year growth of 
almost 30%. The
Division accounted for 52% of the Group's net sales.

quarter EBIT of the Brands Division was EUR 6.5 million (EUR 7.3     

million) accounting for 10.3% (16.8%) of net sales. The January-September
EBIT  
was EUR 17.1 million (EUR 17.7 million) accounting for 10.0% (13.4%) of
net     
sales.                                                               
          

Local brands                                                     
              

Raisio's locally strong brands are, e.g., Elovena, Sunnuntai,
Carlshamn, Nordic 
and The Dormen. Net sales generated by local brands grew
considerably amounting 
to EUR 51.3 million (EUR 33.2 million). In
January-September, net sales totalled
EUR 134.0 million (EUR 99.7 million).   
                                       

In the Western European operations,
the market situation in Great Britain       
remained challenging. Sales
volume and profitability in consumer products       
continued to show a
generally upward trend despite continuing high levels of    
promotional
activity across all market sectors which increased the fluctuation  
in
consumer demand. Raisio implemented an extensive media campaign and         

successfully re-launched The Dormen brand of premium snacking nuts.
Furthermore,
Raisio renewed its agreements with some airline groups on the
serving of The    
Dormen nuts on the flights.                                
                    

In Finnish and Swedish markets of Northern European
operations, sales volumes of
the main brands increased even though the
exceptionally warm summer reduced     
baking and sales of flakes. On the
other hand, we reached all-time sales records
in easy-to-bake Sunnuntai
products. Successful launches of new snack products   
enhanced the sales of
Elovena products in Finland. Raisio launched organic bread
called Elovena
paahtopalat as well as non-dairy Elovena lusikoitavat välipalat  
and The
Dormen nuts as novelties. With The Dormen, the company is aiming to    

establish its position as a category creator in premium nuts.                
  

Non-dairy snack products called Elovena lusikoitavat välipalat were
launched in 
Finland in the early autumn and they enjoyed an excellent
reception. The        
products also got plenty of shelf space in the shops.
Furthermore, Raisio       
launched the First Finnish organic bread family
under the Elovena brand. Elovena
paahtopalat is a new kind of option for
consumers. This ecological bread with a 
long preservation is additive-free
and baked using Finnish organic raw          
materials.                      
                                               

Elovena was rated the
second-most valued Finnish food brand in the annual study,
The most valued
brands 2010, conducted by Markkinointi & Mainonta magazine this 
autumn. Of
all brands, Elovena was rated the 13th most valued. Last year Elovena
was the
28th, so the brand's appreciation improved by a splendid 15 positions. 


Sales volumes of products sold under the Carlshamn brand in Sweden further 
    
increased. Raisio's position as market second strengthened in soyghurts,
i.e.   
non-dairy snacks, and rose close to 40%. Soyghurts sold under the
Carlshamn     
brand are widely represented in the selections of grocery
shops, and consumers  
trust the brand relaunched at the beginning of 2009.
Sales of non-dairy products
are still increasing in Sweden. Carlsham brand is
showing the most rapid growth,
approximately 20% per year. Swedish consumers
have warmly welcomed the novelties
of Carlshamn product family.               
                                    

In our Eastern European operations in
Russia and Ukraine, sales and volumes     
developed well in the third
quarter, and Nordic has established its position as 
a trusted brand. Because
of raw material prices, consumer products are under    
price pressure in
Russia, but the state government has denied price increases   
for the time
being. Nevertheless, Raisio's business operations remained        

profitable. In Poland, our target is to grow.                                
  

International brands - Benecol                                           
      

Benecol's net sales increased by over 6% in July-September totalling
EUR 11.8   
million (EUR 11.0 million). In January-September, net sales
totalled EUR 37.0   
million (EUR 34.5 million). Benecol's profitability has
stabilised at a good    
level.                                               
                          

In Benecol, both net sales and volume growth
continued. The sales growth in     
Benecol products continued strong in Great
Britain, Spain and Greece despite the
challenging economic situation of the
countries. Advertising campaigns and      
product promotions conducted by our
partners supported the sales growth. In     
other European countries, the
sales of Benecol products remained at the last    
year's level. Raisio has
expanded the service concept offered to the partners,  
and we will further
strengthen the expert role of Benecol brand together with   
our partners.    
                                                              

Strong sales
growth continued in Benecol products in Thailand. Raisio's partner 
in
Thailand is a good example of how to reach consumers and to increase the    

brand awareness with products suitable to local markets and with well-planned
  
marketing measures. When operating in new markets, long-term work to train
and  
guide both consumers and healthcare professionals is extremely important
to     
ensure the future success.                                            
         

The renewed Benecol logo and pack design will further establish
Benecol's       
position as an international expert brand. With this renewal,
we aim to achieve 
better and more harmonised brand awareness all over the
world and to stand out  
from competitors on the store shelves with our fresh
product packages with good 
visibility. The renewal is based on results
provided by international consumer  
studies. New Benecol product packages can
already be seen in Thailand, Columbia,
Great Britain, Ireland, Turkey,
Romania, Spain and Finland.

Outlook
                                                                       


Raisio aims to grow both organically as well as through acquisitions.
Impacts of
the European economic situation on the overall demand and
consumers' purchase   
power bring challenges to the operations. So far it
seems, however, that the    
brand portfolio works well in the company's
market areas and that, e.g.,        
significant promotion activities haven't
affected the overall profitability     
considerably. Regarding the
acquisitions, Raisio is proceeding as planned and   
although the year-end
2011 growth target is challenging, it is feasible in the  
light of
present-day knowledge.                                                


BUSINESS TO BUSINESS DIVISION                                              
    

Net sales of the Business to Business Division totalled EUR 56.3
million (EUR   
54.2 million) in July-September. Net sales figures of feed
business also include
feed protein business. Net sales were reduced by the
impact of an exceptionally 
hot summer on sales volume and net sales of fish
feeds both in Finland and      
abroad. Because of the heat fish were eating
much less than normally and, at its
worst, the heat caused fish mortality and
thus the market could not recover even
in the autumn.  Net sales of the
Business to Business Division totalled EUR     
155.3 million (EUR 159.3
million) in January-September. The Division accounted  
for 48% of the Group's
net sales.                                               

The third-quarter
EBIT of the Business to Business Division totalled EUR 0.0    
million (EUR
0.3 million), or 0.1% (0.6%) of net sales. The major single factor 
in the
reduced EBIT was the low profitability of rapeseed oil exports. Malt    

market overcapacity together with tough price competition dropped the unit   
  
margin and kept the profitability weak in spite of the sales volume growth.
    
Sales volume of fish feeds was clearly lower than in the comparison
period and  
this weakened the profitability of feed business. In
January-September, the EBIT
of the Division was EUR 1.4 million (EUR 1.0
million).                          

In the review period, the profitability
of livestock production complicated the 
activities in the farms and increased
delayed payments. Exceptional pricing of  
the main competitors during the
autumn was not in line with increased raw       
material costs. Therefore the
competition has been extremely tight and the will 
to regain the lost market
shares has been an obvious motive for the activities. 
As a result of improved
operations, the profitability of feeds remained nearly  
at the earlier level.

Outlook
                                                                       


Producer prices of livestock products have not yet reacted rapidly enough
to the
price increase of feeds, which may temporarily force the farmers to use
        
farm-made mixes instead of industrial ones.                          
          

Feed business will provide its customers with a feeding plan
programme that     
enables feeding optimisation at the farm level including
also environmental     
aspects. Carbon footprint calculation of Raisio's
feeds supports the            
identification of environmental impacts of the
whole food chain and provides    
reliable calculation data for customers who
consider it useful in their own     
operations. Carbon footprint calculation
also supports raw material choices and 
product development in feeds.         
                                         

Malt market is estimated to
continue very challenging also in the last quarter. 
Furthermore, the
considerable increase in energy price in Finland makes         
follow-through
sales price increases challenging.                               

Long-term
cooperation agreement between Raisio and Neste Oil regarding the     

utilisation of Raisio's rapeseed oil surplus as raw material in Neste Oil's  
  
renewable diesel will strengthen our position as a significant raw material
    
supplier in the bioenergy production chain. Rapeseed oil deliveries to
Neste Oil
will be started in full at the beginning of 2011. This agreement
will open new  
opportunities for Raisio to stabilise and develop the feed
protein business.    

GRAIN MARKET                                          
                         

Grain crop harvested in Finland was clearly lower
than domestic consumption due 
to decreased arable areas and dry summer. In
the previous years, record crops   
were harvested in Finland and grain
production greatly exceeded the consumption.

At the end of the summer,
Russia banned grain exports because of drought and    
exceptionally poor
crops. This almost doubled the price of wheat in the world   
markets. Prices
in the EU and Finland followed the common development. Price    
increase was
as rapid as three years ago during the food crisis. At that time,  
the stock
levels of wheat were sufficient for only two months' consumption. This
year
the stocks are at three month's level thanks to earlier good crop years.  

Globally there is no lack of wheat but of cheap wheat since the Russia's 15 %
  
part of wheat production was not available for sale. On the other hand,    
    
intervention stocks in Finland owned by the EU Commission are
considerable and  
will be on the markets during the crop year. Fast price
increases in grains as  
well as in protein and oil plants brought speculative
money back to grain       
exchanges, which further increases volatility in
grain raw materials.           

Supply of grains and rapeseed was active
after the harvest period in Finland. At
the turn of September to October the
markets overheated. After the prices fell, 
the markets calmed down and the
supply nearly dried up. Strong volatility in    
grain raw material prices
will continue along with the changes in supply and    
demand both in global
and domestic markets. Controlling of volatility in grain  
raw material prices
will be essential to Raisio's profitability also in the     
future.          
                                                              

Raisio's
flexible pricing of grain raw materials has been proven effective and  
the
company continues to develop cooperation models together with its contract 

farmers.                                                                     
  

PERSONNEL                                                                
      

Raisio Group's continuing operations employed 1,261 people at the end
of        
September (31 December 2009: 593 people). At the end of the review
period, the  
Brands Division had 948, the Business to Business Division 254
and the service  
functions 59 employees. 58% of the personnel (14% 31
December 2009) were working
outside of Finland.

During the review period, a
total of 43,518 restricted shares were converted    
into free shares.        
                                                      
The number of issued

34,408,205. The share capital entitled to 818,904,925 votes.         

At the
end of the review period, Raisio plc held 3,950,600 free shares and     

201,295 restricted shares. The number of free shares accounts for 3.02% of
all  
free shares and the votes they represent, while the corresponding figure
for    
restricted shares is 0.59%. In all, the company shares held by the
Group        
represent 2.51% of the company's entire share capital and 0.97%
of overall      
votes.                                                       
                  

Raisio plc's subsidiaries do not hold any shares in the
parent company. The     
Raisio Group Research Foundation holds 150,510
restricted shares, which is 0.44%
of the restricted shares and the votes they
represent and, correspondingly,     
0.09% of the whole share capital and
0.37% of the votes it represents. A share  
in Raisio or its subsidiary does
not entitle the holder to participate in the   
Annual General Meeting.       
                                                 

AUTHORISATIONS TO

1,500,000 restricted shares to the company. The authorisation will be
valid     
until 25 September 2011. Furthermore, the Meeting authorised the
Board of       
Directors to decide on the share issues (1) by disposing of
all of the company  
shares and any potentially repurchased own shares, a
maximum total of 16,504,404
shares, 1,701,295 of which can be restricted
shares, and (2) by issuing a       
maximum of 16,500,000 new free shares
against payment. The share issue          
authorisations will be valid until
25 March 2015 at the latest. The details of  
the authorisations are available
in the stock exchange release published on 11  
February 2010.                
                                                 

In the review period, the
company has not acquired its own shares.              

In the review period,
11,453 free shares were assigned to the Chairman of the   
Board and Board
members as part of the compensation for managing their duties,  
in line with
the decisions taken by the Annual General Meetings held in 2009 and
2010.     
                                                                    


Furthermore, a total of 553,056 free shares were assigned as a reward for
the   
second earnings period of the share-based incentive scheme (financial
year 2009)
to the 51 persons covered by the scheme as well as a total of
168,000 free      
shares as recognition of and reward for the successfully
completed divestment of
the margarine business in 2009, also to 51 persons.   
                         

Directed share issue                              
                             

The Board of Directors of Raisio plc decided,
on 23 June 2010, on the share     
issue against payment directed to Raisio
Management Oy. In the share issue, a   
total of 4,120,000 free shares held by
the company were assigned, deviating from
the pre-emptive subscription right
of shareholders, to be subscribed by Raisio  
Management Oy. The company had a
weighty financial reason to deviate from the   
pre-emptive subscription right
of shareholders since the shares assigned in the 
share issue were used to
implement the incentive and commitment system for the  
members of the Raisio
Management Team. As the assigned free shares in the share 
issue were company
shares held by Raisio plc, the number of the company's shares
remained
unchanged.                                                             

The
subscription price (assignment price) of a free share was the trade volume 

weighted average quotation of the company's free share on the NASDAQ OMX     
  
Helsinki Ltd during 5 May - 22 June 2010, i.e. EUR 2.58.  The share
subscription
period was 1 - 2 July 2010 and the subscribed shares had to be
paid on 16 July  
2010 at the latest. The subscription price has been paid to
the company and     
registered to the reserve for invested unrestricted
equity of the company.      

SHARE-BASED INCENTIVE SCHEMES                  
                                

Management incentive scheme 2010 - 2013    
                                    

In June 2010, the Board of Directors of
Raisio plc decided on a new incentive   
scheme for the members of Raisio
Group's Management Team. The purpose of the    
scheme is to commit the
members of the Management Team to the company by        
encouraging them to
acquire and hold company shares, and this way to increase   
the company's
shareholder value in the long run, as well as to support the      
achievement
of the company's strategic objectives.                              

The
share ownership has been implemented through Raisio Management Oy owned by 

Raisio plc's Managing Director and seven members of the Group's Management
Team.
In July 2010, the company acquired a total of 362,740 Raisio plc's free
shares  
at market price, as well as a total of 4,120,000 free shares from
Raisio plc in 
a directed share issue. After this, the members of the
Management Team hold,    
through their company, a total of 4,482,740 free
shares, which covers some 2.7% 
of all of the Raisio plc's shares and some
0.5% of all of the votes of the      
shares. The acquisitions were financed
by the capital investments of the members
of the Management Team, in the
amount of EUR 1.2 million, as well as by a loan  
of EUR 10.5 million granted
by Raisio plc. The scheme has been described in     
detail in the stock
exchange release published on 23 June 2010.                 

Share-based
incentive scheme 2010                                               

Raisio
has a three-year, share-based incentive scheme the purpose of which is
to
combine the objectives of owners and key personnel in order to increase the
    
capitalisation value of the company and to commit the key personnel to
the      
company by offering them a competitive reward system based on
shareholding.     

In March 2010, the Board of Directors of Raisio plc
decided on the share-based  
incentive scheme for the third earning period,
which is the financial year 2010.
The earnings criterion applied is operating
result in proportion to net sales,  
in addition to which a prerequisite for
receipt of the reward is that a certain 
net sales during the fiscal year 2010
will be reached. The number of free shares
to be distributed is a maximum
total of 600,000. The scheme has been described  
in detail in the stock
exchange release published on 18 March 2010.             

Subgroup Glisten's
share-based incentive schemes 2010-2012                      

In August
2010, the Board of Directors of Raisio plc decided on two synthetic  

share-based incentive and commitment schemes for the management of Raisio's  
  
British subgroup Glisten and key employees. The purpose of the schemes is
to    
combine the objectives of owners, management and key employees in order
to      
increase the company's capitalisation value, to commit the management
and key   
employees to the company and to offer them a competitive reward
system based on 
the value of a share.                                        
                  

On the basis of the first scheme, a cash reward will be
paid by the end of May  
2012. Total amount of the reward equals the value of
966,117 Raisio plc free    
shares. Value of a free share will be determined
by its trade volume weighted   
average quotation on the NASDAQ OMX Helsinki
Ltd in March 2012 subtracted by a  
dividend per share payable decided by the
Annual General Meeting of 2012.       

A prerequisite for receipt of the
reward is that each person now appointed to   
the scheme will still be
employed by Raisio Group on 8 April 2012. There are 36 
persons within the
scheme.                                                      

On the basis
of the second scheme, a cash reward corresponding to a maximum     
total of
420,000 Raisio plc free shares will be paid. In case the subgroup     

Glisten's EBIT for the term ending 30 June 2011 exceeds the level defined in
the
scheme, a reward equivalent to the value of 210,000 Raisio plc free shares
will 
be paid by the end of September 2011. Value of a free share will be
determined  
by its trade volume weighted average quotation on the NASDAQ OMX
Helsinki Ltd in
August 2011. Furthermore, in case the subgroup Glisten's EBIT
for the term      
ending on 30 June 2012 exceeds the level defined in the
scheme, a reward        
equivalent to 210,000 Raisio plc free shares will be
paid by the end of         
September 2012. Value of a free share will be
determined by its trade volume    
weighted average quotation on the NASDAQ
OMX Helsinki Ltd in August 2012.       

Glisten Ltd's CEO and CFO are within
the second scheme.                         

DECISIONS MADE AT THE ANNUAL
GENERAL MEETING                                    

Raisio plc's Annual
General Meeting held on 25 March 2010 approved the financial
statements for
the financial year 1 January - 31 December 2009 and discharged   
the members
of the Board of Directors and the Supervisory Board, as well as the 
Chief
Executive Officer, from liability. The Annual General Meeting decided to 

distribute a dividend of EUR 0.09 per share. The dividend was paid to the    
  
shareholders on 8 April 2010.                                              
    

A Stock Exchange Release was published on 25 March 2010 concerning the
decisions
made by the Meeting in addition to which the decisions were
described in the    
Interim Report of January-March.

Incorporation of feed protein business           
                              

Raisio Nutrition Ltd's feed protein business
(earlier: vegetable oil business), 
i.e. manufacturing and trade of meals and
oils will be incorporated to the      
limited company named Proteinoil Oy
through partial demerger. Incorporation is  
meant to come into effect on 31
December 2010.                                  

Raisio Finance NV          
                                                    

In June, Raisio plc and
Raisio Nutrition Ltd founded a company in Belgium named 
Raisio Finance NV,
which operates in financing of group companies. The new      
subsidiary has
started its operations. Its share capital is owned by the        
founding
companies.                                                            


Glisten Ltd.                                                               
    

The acquisition of snack foods producer Glisten plc came into force on
8 April  
2010 after the completion of related legal conditions. Glisten was
delisted from
the AIM of London Stock Exchange on 9 April 2010. The subgroup
formed with      
Glisten Ltd as a parent company was made part of Raisio
Group on 8 April 2010   
through the Raisio plc's subsidiary Raisio UK Ltd.   
                          

RISKS AND SOURCES OF UNCERTAINTY IN THE NEAR
FUTURE                             
                                          
                                     
Volatility in raw material prices is
estimated to continue strong. Controlling  
of volatility is essential for
Raisio's profitability. Main risks in the near   
future are related to any
possible changes caused by the general economic       
development in the
Group's key market areas.                                    

The risks and
outlook of the businesses in the near future are further examined 
in the
Segment information of this Interim report.                             


OUTLOOK REMAINS UNCHANGED                                                  
    

Raisio has moved to a growth phase that covers the years 2010 and 2011.
We      
expect a considerable increase in net sales in 2010. Our target is to
maintain  
the earlier level of profitability at the beginning of the growth
phase even    
though the costs of growth projects impact the Group's result
and the market    
situation in Business to Business Division will probably
continue to be         
challenging.

NOTES
TO THE INTERIM REPORT                                                    


This interim report has been prepared in compliance with IAS 34 Interim    
    
Financial Reporting according to the same principles and calculation
methods    
used in financial statements 2009 with the exception of the
amendments to the   
principles mentioned below.                              
                      

The Group adopted the following IFRSs or amendments
to them on 1 January 2010:  

Revision of IFRS 3 Business Combinations.
According to the revised standard, the
acquisition cost method is still
applied but some significant amendments have   
been made. For instance, all
the payments effected to complete the acquisition  
must be recognised at
their acquisition-date fair values, and the conditional   
payments classified
as debts are later recognised at fair value through profit  
and loss. For
each acquisition, IFRS 3 allows an accounting policy choice to    
measure the
minority's interest either at fair value or its proportionate share 
of net
assets of the acquisition. All costs related to the acquisition are     

recognised as an expense.                                                    
  

Revised IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements. The
amended      
standard specifies the treatment of the increases and decreases
in the ownership
interests of the Group's subsidiaries. According to the
standard, the impacts of
minority transactions must be recognised in
shareholders' equity if the control 
is not changed and these transactions no
longer result in goodwill entries or   
entries of gain and loss. If the
control is lost, the eventual remaining        
ownership interest is
recognised at fair value and gain or loss through profit  
and loss.          
                                                            

In addition,
since the beginning of the year 2010 Raisio has applied the        
following
amended standards and interpretations that are not expected to have an
impact
on the consolidated interim reports or financial statements:            


Amendment to IAS 39 Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement -   
    
Eligible Hedged Items                                                    
      
Amendment to IFRS 2 Share-based Payment - Group Cash-settled
Share-based Payment
Transactions                                              
                     
Improvements to IFRSs (April 2009)                      
                       
IFRIC 17 Distributions of Non-cash Assets to Owners   
                         
IFRIC 18 Transfers of Assets from Customers         
                           
IFRIC 9 Reassessment of Embedded Derivatives and
IAS 39 (amendment) Financial   
Instruments: Recognition and Measurement -
Embedded Derivatives                 

Raisio Management Oy owned by the
Management is combined to the Raisio's        
consolidated financial
statement as Raisio has the control of the company       
because of the
funding schemes. Raisio plc's shares held by Raisio Management Oy
entered to
the consolidated financial statement through the combination are    

presented on the balance sheet in the own shares as a deduction from         
  
shareholders' equity, and the management's ownership is presented in the   
    
non-controlling interests.                                               
      

When preparing the financial statements, management must make
estimates and     
assumptions that affect the reported assets and
liabilities, income and         
expenses. Actual figures may differ from
these estimates.                       

The interim report is shown in EUR
millions.                                    

SEGMENT INFORMATION           
                                                 

The reportable segments
are Brands and Business to Business. The Brands segment 
includes
international brands - Benecol and local brands, and the reported

European operations of the food business as well as, from the beginning of
the  
second quarter, those of the Western European operations of the food
business,

to Business

ACQUIRED
BUSINESS OPERATIONS                                                   


Raisio plc made a public purchase offer for the entire share capital of
British 
Glisten plc. The shareholders of Glisten plc approved Raisio's
purchase offer on
12 March 2010, and the deal became legally valid on 8 April
2010.               

Glisten produces healthy, nutritious, high-quality
snack foods. Fruitus and The 
Dormen are the company's well-known brands in
their own product categories. The 
company operates through eight premises
across Great-Britain and employs        
approximately 650 people. The group
consists of 23 separate companies. Glisten's
result is reported as part of the
figures of Raisio's Brands Division from the  
beginning of the second
quarter.                                                

Raisio UK Ltd,
founded for the purpose of the acquisition, acquired the share   
capital of
Glisten plc. After the closing of the deal, Raisio plc owns 85% and  
the
senior management of Glisten 15% of Raisio UK Ltd's share capital. Later it

has been agreed to amend the shareholder agreement so that Glisten's senior  
  
management will increase its ownership in Raisio UK Ltd up to 21.3%. Since 
    
Raisio is obligated to redeem the part of the management's shares, the
company  
has been consolidated to the Group according to the shareholding of
100% and the
redemption price has been treated as a liability.                
              

The acquisition price was thus comprised of the share paid in
cash and the      
additional purchase price later paid to Glisten management
for the ownership of 
Raisio UK Ltd's. The part of the purchase price paid in
cash was 22.2 M€ (19.5  
M£). The amount of the additional purchase price was
estimated to be 16.0 M€    
(14.0 M£) at the time of the acquisition and it
has been entered on the balance 
sheet as a liability. The payment time of the
additional purchase price is      
estimated to be during the third quarter of
2012. The fees of lawyers, advisors 
and outside valuators related to the deal
amounted to a total of 1.1 M€, which  
has been recognised as an expense.
Goodwill resulting from the acquisition was  
50.3 M€ (44.1 M£).              
                                               

Raisio Group's net sales for
January-September 2010 would have been 345.0 M€ and
pre-tax result excluding
one-off items 14.4 M€ if the acquisition of business   
operations completed
during the financial year had been combined with the       
consolidated
financial statement from the beginning of the financial year 2010. 
The
post-acquisition net sales of subgroup Glisten was 43.9 M€ and pre-tax     

result 2.5 M€.                                                               
  

The values of acquired assets and assumed liabilities on the date of
acquisition
were as follows:

Raisio and Bunde signed an agreement on the divestment of Raisio's
margarine    
business to Bunge in May 2009. The divestment was concluded in
October 2009.

impact that the divestment 
of the margarine business had on results. The
result of the Finnish margarine   
business is still reported under continuing
operations, since Raisio will       
continue to sell margarines in Finland,
Sweden and Estonia as a distributor of  
Bunge.
