Wits University Career Day For the second year running, Wits University Chemical Society invited SAAFFI to participate in their Chemistry Career day, which was held at Wits on the 17th April. The purpose of the day, which is held annually, is to inspire their chemistry students by exposing them to interesting industry sectors, of which the Flavour & Fragrance Industry is certainly one. SAAFFI is committed to ongoing engagement with appropriate tertiary education students; the forum is ideal to showcase our industry to those studying for qualifications which are relevant. A table manned (or womanned!!) by members of the industry was set up with information and a range of fascinating samples. Our sincere thanks go to Cellchem, Crest Chemicals, Mane, O6 Agencies, Sharon Bolel Chemical Marketing and Symrise for their help! The students, apart from being intrigued by our industry, enjoyed the tasty snack and beverage samples and were appreciative for the promotional gifts on the stand. A productive, fun day was enjoyed by all who participated. 2.

Mar 000 00 00 07.6 ket NOTICE: Historically all foreign currency calculations for the table were based on December 31 rates for the year indicated. For some years this distorts the actual performance in US dollars as we have seen significant currency swings within a given year. This was particularly prevalent in 2014, where a EUR/USD swing of nearly 13% and a CHF/USD swing of ~12% occurred between July 1 and December 31 2014. Accordingly, after discussions with various industry financial experts, we are now using the "yearly average" exchange rates (which more closely approximates that normally used in the companies). All years in this table (2010-2014) have now been restated using the FOREX yearly average rates as shown in the table below. Prior tables available have not been restated. FOREX Yearly Average Rates Currency 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 EUR/USD 1.327386 1.392705 1.285697 1.328464 1.329165 CHF/USD 0.961215 1.13241 1.066891 1.079397 1.094111 JPY/USD 0.011413 0.012539 0.012533 0.010264 0.009473 HKD/USD 0.128721 0.128463 0.128915 0.128921 0.128955 Overall we estimate that the total market grew about 4.1%+ in US $ from 2013. 3.
