<strong><font face="Arial" size="2">AGRI-NETWORK CARD</font></strong></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Demand is increasing for high-quality food and reliable
international contacts throughout the food system. This need extends beyond the
"conference mode" organizations, "quasi-think-tanks," and electronic
internet. Effective marketing requires face-to-face meetings because people who share
common interests beyond simple transaction-based business have the edge. In today's world
of high-speed decisions, there is an increasing premium for quality control and trust. It
is an arena where associations have a comparative advantage over other networks,
university alumni, religious groups, and single business and/or credit card programs.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">The agribusiness association network pioneered by The
Agribusiness Council (ABC) and its international counterpart, the U.N.-accredited
Agri-Energy Roundtable (AER), is uniquely positioned to offer business contact, marketing
and information services through its broad-based membership and subscriber network. This
network includes independent, yet affiliated associations formed since the mid-1980s in a
number of countries as well as a growing list of state/local agribusiness associations
domestically.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">Since 1989, ABC has assumed the leadership in management
training and development of new agribusiness associations across the United States. ABC
has also assisted AER in developing overseas programs with links to the U.S. This
translates into a large contact base of individuals and agribusinesses spanning dozens of
ag-sectors with a common denominator interest: developing business via the association
model.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial" size="2">In addition, with affiliates and counterparts association
offices in many key countries, the AER/ABC network offers an attractive range of services
to business with direct sales/investment potentials and considerable indirect
cost-savings, valuable contacts/information and security.</font>
