Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Ordinary Share sales executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 plan.
(2)	IAT Group Inc. directly owns 16,998,924 ordinary shares of Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. IAT Group Inc. is owned by the members of the Abu-Ghazaleh family, including Maher Abu-Ghazaleh. Individually, no Abu-Ghazaleh family member owns a controlling interest in IAT Group Inc. Nevertheless, because each of the IAT Group Inc. shareholders votes with the other family members, the Abu-Ghazaleh family jointly controls IAT Group Inc. As a result, each individual Abu-Ghazaleh family member may be deemed to beneficially own all of the ordinary shares directly owned by IAT Group Inc; however, each Abu-Ghazaleh family member disclaims beneficial ownership of such ordinary shares except to the extent of his or her pecuniary interest therein.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
