<pre>Organisers of Olive Business 2001 are delighted to inform you that
Judy Ridgway will be our international guest personality in
Melbourne, Australia, in May this year.

Judy has undertaken to speak at the Oil Makers' and Pickler's dinner,
leading the discussion on the differing attributes of the pungent and
softer olive oils. At the conference on olive oil processing she will
speak on consumer requirements. Judy will also conduct a tutored
tasting for leading chefs and distributors - as well as being
available to provide comments on Australian and New Zealand extra
virgin olive oils showcased in The Olive Market Place.

The 'Getting the Most Out of Your Processor' conference brings
together some of Australia's leading processors and scientists to
discuss the status of processing in Australia and its successes,
challenges and investment opportunities.

We have commitment from three distributors of smaller olive oil
processing machines to run olive pressing demonstrations in the Olive
Business Centre. Other displays will cover products and services at
all the stages of the olive demand/supply chain.

The Olive Marketplace will showcase Australian and New Zealand Olive
products, supported by independent and proprietary tastings and
cooking demonstrations.

New Zealand entries to the Olive Business Extra Virgin Olive Oil and
Table Olive Awards are welcomed for the first time. New classes have
been included for the more pungent and softer oils, new season oils
and organic oils and table olives. The presentation dinner will be
another occasion for good food, wine and fun - and I suspect some
trans-Tasman rivalry - and revelry!

Seminars will cover topics such as Food Safety Requirements, Getting
your Olive Products into the Marketplace, Organic Olive Production,
Medium and Large Scale Harvesting, and Processing Boutique Table
Olives.

The event will be held in Melbourne under cover at the Showgrounds
Exhibition Centre from 17-20 May 2001. Promotions of participating
suppliers' olive products will take place in restaurants and through
retail outlets during the week prior and following the Olive Business
2001 Conference and Expo.
