    Strengthening of Delica Pty joint venture with M&G Vizzarri
    
    Delica Pty Limited, a 50% owned Australian subsidiary of T&G Global Limited,
    has significantly strengthened its position as an international trader of
    asparagus through a transaction with one of its other shareholders, M&G
    Vizzarri Pty Limited.  The transaction involves M&G Vizzarri consolidating
    its shareholding in Delica Pty Limited, to hold the other 50% of shares,
    Delica Pty Limited acquiring the business of Vizzarri Farms Pty Limited, a
    subsidiary of M&G Vizzarri, and the extension of key long term supply
    agreements for asparagus.
    
    The joint venture with M&G Vizzarri makes T&G one of the leading asparagus
    traders in the southern hemisphere. The targeted annual revenues for the
    first year have been set at approximately NZD$40 million, corresponding to a
    trading volume of over 5,000 tonnes.
    
    The new joint venture builds on 20 years of export partnership between
    Vizzarri and T&G. It allows T&G to improve its position in its dealings with
    the Australian food retail sector and its customers in South-East Asia.
    Starting immediately, the new joint venture, trading under the name T&G
    Vizzarri Farms, will serve all of Australia's leading food retailers
    throughout the year.
    
    The export and domestic marketing teams of Delica and Vizzarri Farms will
    merge into one team and will manage all sales of asparagus, be they within
    Australia or to other markets. Outside the harvest period, customers will
    mainly receive fresh asparagus from growing regions in Mexico and Peru.
    
    The name change of Delica Pty Limited to 'T&G Vizzarri Farms Pty Ltd'
    reflects the closer relationship between Delica and its parent company, T&G
    Global Limited, while inclusion of the Vizzarri Farms name emphasises the
    importance and strength of both the Vizzarri brand and the farming businesses
    to the new company.
    
    Sarah McCormack, T&G GM Sales & Marketing Diversified Products, comments:
    "T&G, through its international trading business Delica, is one of the
    largest international traders of asparagus.  Securing consistent high quality
    supply is integral to the future development of the asparagus category.  This
    joint venture with M&G Vizzarri is aligned with T&G's strategic pillars of
    "Strengthening Relationships" with suppliers and customers and "Focusing on
    Growth" of key product categories.  We look forward to the imminent start of
    the Australian asparagus season and to meeting the increasing demand for high
    quality asparagus from our global customers."
