	Raisio reports losses for Q1
		Raisio Group stated that sales for the whole of 2003 are expected to increase compared with 2002, thanks to the acquisition of Latexia and Diffchamb and startup of the specialty chemicals plant in China in the summer.

	Benecol becomes Raisio's profit engine (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In comparison with Raisio's significantly larger unit, Nutrition, which produces a range of food and feed products including margarine, processed potato and malt, the Life Sciences unit is achieving margins of 13.3 per cent against a mere 3.1 per cent in Nutrition.
		In addition, Raisio is looking to add value to the business, recently investing in new ventures including the development of ‘pure oat' products for people with celiac disease in collaboration with Finn Cereal, and the GoGreen business, a joint venture with Cerealia.
		But improvement in the food business is expected to be ‘smaller than earlier anticipated', said Raisio, and the falling demand for malt and the drop in malt prices is expected to eat further into profits, with restructuring planned if the market does not change.

	Raisio to begin Russian margarine production
		Raisio said that it planned to continue production of some of the existing product lines at the dairy group, which is based in Istra, some 60km from Moscow, but that the main reason for the purchase was to boost sales of its margarine products.
		Raisio’s margarine exports to Russia have collapsed in recent years, the company said, due not only to import duties of 15 per cent designed to protect local producers but also to increased competition from these local players who operate on a much lower cost base.
		With this base on which to build, Raisio said it would invest 2 million in refitting the dairy company to produce margarine as well, with production due to begin by the end of the year.
