The Audit Committee (i) recommends the selection of independent auditors for the Company, (ii) confirms the scope of audits to be performed by such auditors and (iii) reviews audit results and the Company’s accounting and internal control procedures and policies. The Audit Committee also reviews and recommends approval of (i) the audited financial statements of the Company, (ii) the quarterly and annual filings of the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and (iii) the Company’s Annual Report to Shareholders.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Audit Committee (the “Committee”) oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report with management including a discussion of the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements.

The Committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles, their judgments as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Committee under general accepted auditing standards. In addition, the Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the auditors’ independence from management and the Company including the matters in the written disclosures required by the Independence Standards Board, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.

The Committee discussed with the Company’s internal and independent auditors the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Committee met with the internal and independent auditors, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Committee held five (5) meetings during fiscal year 2007.

In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors (and the Board has approved) that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 28, 2007 for filing with the SEC. The Committee and the Board have also recommended, subject to shareholder approval, the selection of the Company’s independent auditors.

Resolution No. 4

Approval and Ratification of the Sixth Amendment to the Company’s 1999 Share Incentive Plan, as amended, as set out in Appendix “B”

Subject to approval and ratification by the Shareholders, the Board of Directors has resolved to amend the Fresh Del Monte Produce Inc. 1999 Share Incentive Plan, as amended, (the “Plan” or “1999 Option Plan”), to increase the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares (as such term is defined in the Plan) with respect to which options may be granted under the Plan by 3,000,000 for a total of 9,000,000 Ordinary Shares. The purpose of the Plan is to provide incentives to non-employee directors and eligible employees of the Company, to encourage such directors and employees to continue with the Company and to attract capable and experienced personnel to the Company. The Plan currently provides for an aggregate of 6,000,000 Ordinary Shares with respect to which options may be granted; currently 488,000 of those Ordinary Shares are available for grant. If the Shareholders do not approve and ratify the Sixth Amendment to the 1999 Option Plan, the Plan will not be amended and the additional 3,000,000 Ordinary Shares will not be made available for grant.

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote FOR approval and ratification of the Sixth Amendment to the Company’s 1999 Option Plan, as amended. Unless directed to the contrary, the Ordinary Shares represented by valid Proxies will be voted for the ratification, approval and adoption of the Sixth Amendment to the Plan.

The following general description of the material features of the Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Plan, which is attached hereto as Appendix A and the full text of the proposed amendment, which is attached hereto as Appendix B.

The 1999 Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors or any committee to which all of the Board’s powers under the Plan are delegated (the “Board”). Under the Plan, options to purchase Ordinary Shares may be granted to such employees of the Company and its subsidiaries who are largely responsible for the management, growth and protection of the business of the Company and its subsidiaries and such non-employee directors of the Company as the Board may select from time to time.

Approximately 209 persons have received options or may be eligible to receive options under the 1999 Option Plan.

Options granted under the 1999 Option Plan may be either “non-qualified options” (options which do not afford U.S. federal income tax benefits to recipients, but the exercise of which may provide tax deductions for the Company) or, to the extent permissible by law, “incentive stock options” (options which do afford U.S. federal income tax benefits to recipients, but the exercise of which generally may not provide tax deductions for the Company). Each option will have an exercise price per share equal to the fair market value of an Ordinary Share on the date of grant (which exercise price may not be adjusted after grant other than in the event of a change in the capitalization of the Company due to certain corporate events specified in the Plan).

Payment for the Ordinary Shares purchased upon the exercise of options may be made in cash, by certified check, bank cashier’s check or wire transfer, or, to the extent permitted by the Board, by tender to the Company of Ordinary Shares already owned by the option holder. The Board may also authorize option holders to engage in “cashless exercise” transactions through securities brokers and/or the transfer agent for the Ordinary Shares.

Twenty percent of each option granted becomes exercisable on the date of grant and an additional 20% of such option becomes exercisable on each of the next four anniversaries of such date. No option remains exercisable for more than ten years after the date of grant. Ordinary Shares subject to any unexercised option that expires, terminates or is cancelled for any reason are available for re-grant under the Plan. The right to grant options under the 1999 Option Plan terminates March 16, 2014, and no individual may be granted options to purchase more than an aggregate of 2,000,000 Ordinary Shares under the Plan.

In the event of termination without cause, all options shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable at the time of such termination and shall remain exercisable for 90 days. In the event of termination for cause or a voluntary resignation, vested options remain exercisable for 30 days and 90 days, respectively, from the date of termination or resignation. In the event of a termination by reason of

death or disability, vested options remain exercisable for one year. Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 1999 Option Plan), each option outstanding at such time shall become fully vested and immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable until its expiration, termination or cancellation in accordance with the terms of the 1999 Option Plan.

The 1999 Option Plan provides for a payment to be made by the Company to an option holder in the event such option holder incurs an excise tax (including any interest or penalties on such excise tax) pursuant to Section 280G or Section 4999 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 with respect to any payments or benefits provided to such option holder (pursuant to the 1999 Option Plan or otherwise, with certain limited exceptions) upon the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the 1999 Option Plan). Such payment would make the option holder whole for any such excise taxes paid by the option holder.

The Board of Directors reserves the right to terminate or amend the 1999 Option Plan in any respect at any time, provided that no such action may, without consent, adversely affect an option holder’s rights under an outstanding option. Upon a termination of the Plan, each outstanding option is cancelled and the option holder is entitled to receive in cash the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the Ordinary Shares underlying the option over the aggregate exercise price of the option. Subject to any required action by shareholders, the Board is authorized to make certain adjustments to the 1999 Option Plan and any outstanding options in the event of a change in the capitalization of the Company due to certain corporate events specified in the Plan. The Board is also authorized to accelerate the right to exercise any option and to extend the term of any option.

The following is a summary of the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the grant and exercise of options under the 1999 Option Plan. An option holder is not taxed upon the grant of an option and the Company is not entitled to any deduction as a result of such grant. Upon exercise of a non-qualified option, the option holder will receive compensation income equal to the excess of the value of the shares received on exercise over the exercise price of the option. Upon exercise of an incentive stock option, the option holder does not recognize any income, although the spread on exercise will be an item of tax adjustment for the purposes of the alternative

minimum tax. If the holder of the incentive stock option disposes of Shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option within two years after grant or one year after exercise, any gain on the disposition, up to the amount of the spread on exercise, will be compensation income, with the balance being capital gain. All other dispositions of Ordinary Shares acquired upon the exercise of an incentive stock option will be capital gain in an amount equal to the excess of the proceeds received over the exercise price.

Vote Required to Approve Matters Submitted To Shareholders

Approval of each of the items which are submitted to a vote of the Shareholders at the 2008 Annual General Meeting will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Ordinary Shares of the Company recorded on the Company’s Register of Members (Shareholders) at the close of business on Tuesday, March 4, 2008 (the “Record Shares”) present in person or represented by proxy.

General

At the date of this Proxy Statement, the Board of Directors has no knowledge of any business which has been presented for consideration at the 2008 Annual General Meeting other than that described above.

Present and former officers, directors and other employees of Fresh Del Monte may solicit proxies by telephone, telecopy, telegram or mail, or by meetings with Shareholders or their representatives. Fresh Del Monte will reimburse brokers, banks or other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their charges and expenses in forwarding proxy material to beneficial owners. All expenses of solicitation of proxies will be borne by Fresh Del Monte.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

(i) Each Option shall be exercisable in whole or in part; provided, that no partial exercise of an Option shall be for an aggregate exercise price of less than $1,000; and provided, further, that no fractional Ordinary Shares shall be issued under the Plan. The partial exercise of an Option shall not cause the expiration, termination or cancellation of the remaining portion thereof. Upon the partial exercise of an Option, the agreement evidencing such Option, marked with any notations deemed appropriate by the Board, shall be returned to the Participant exercising such Option.

(ii)  An Option shall be exercised by delivering notice to FDMP’s principal office, to the attention of its Securities Compliance Officer, no less than three (3) business days in advance of the effective date of the proposed exercise. Such notice shall be accompanied by the agreement evidencing the Option, shall specify the number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and the effective date of the proposed exercise and shall be signed by the Participant. The Participant may withdraw such notice at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the effective date of the proposed exercise. Payment

for Ordinary Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be made on the effective date of such exercise in cash, by certified check, bank cashier’s check or wire transfer, or, to the extent permitted by the Board, by tender to FDMP of Ordinary Shares already owned by the Participant, which shares shall be valued at Fair Market Value on the effective date of the proposed exercise. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 7(e)(ii), the Board may authorize deviations from the procedures set forth herein in order to enable Participants to engage in “cashless exercise” transactions through securities brokers and/or the transfer agent for the Ordinary Shares.

(iii)  Certificates for Ordinary Shares purchased upon the exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Participant and delivered to the Participant or, at the Board’s discretion, issued and delivered to or on behalf of a book-entry depository with appropriate instructions to credit an account of the Participant as soon as practicable following the effective date on which the Option is exercised.

(iv)  During the lifetime of a Participant, each Option granted to him shall be exercisable only by him. No Option shall be Transferable otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

(f)  Certain Terms Applicable to ISOs.  

(i) The aggregate Fair Market Value of Ordinary Shares with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year under the Plan and any other share option plan of FDMP or any “subsidiary corporation” (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code) shall not exceed $100,000. Such Fair Market Value shall be determined as of the date on which each such ISO is granted. In the event that such aggregate Fair Market Value exceeds $100,000, then ISOs granted hereunder to such Participant shall, to the extent of such excess and in the order in which they were granted, automatically be deemed not to be ISOs, but all other terms and provisions of such ISOs shall remain unchanged.

(ii)  No ISO may be granted to an individual if, at the time of the proposed grant, such individual owns shares possessing more than ten percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of shares of FDMP or any

of its “subsidiary corporations” (within the meaning of Section 424(f) of the Code), unless (A) the exercise price of such ISO is at least one hundred and ten percent of the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share at the time such ISO is granted and (B) such ISO is not exercisable after the expiration of five (5) years from the date such ISO is granted.

(iii)  No ISO may be granted to a Participant who is a non-employee director of FDMP.

(g)  Consequences Upon Certain Transactions.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control with respect to a Participant, all outstanding Options of such Participant shall vest and become immediately exercisable and shall remain exercisable until their expiration, termination or cancellation pursuant to the terms of the Plan.

(i)  In connection with such vesting upon a Change of Control, if it is determined that any payment or benefit provided by the Company or one of its Substantial Subsidiaries or any other person to or for the benefit of a Participant (whether paid or payable or provided or providable pursuant to the terms of this Plan or otherwise except with respect to any stock options granted under the Company’s 1997 Share Incentive Plan prior to the effective date hereof) (a “Payment”) would be subject to an excise tax imposed by Sections 280G or 4999 or any similar provisions of the Code, or any interest or penalties are incurred by the Participant with respect to such excise tax (such excise tax, together with any interest and penalties, hereinafter the “Excise Tax”), then the Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall pay to or on behalf of the Participant an additional payment (a “Gross-Up Payment”) in an amount such that after payment by the Participant of all taxes (including any interest or penalties imposed with respect to such taxes), including, without limitation, any income taxes (and any interest or penalties imposed with respect thereto) and Excise Tax imposed on the Gross-Up Payment, the Participant retains an amount of the Gross-Up Payment equal to the Excise Tax imposed upon the Payment.

(ii)  All determinations required to be made under this Section 7(g), including whether and when a Gross-Up Payment is required and the amount of such Gross-Up Payment and the

assumptions to be utilized in arriving at such determination, shall be made by an independent public accounting firm with a national reputation in the United States that is selected by the Company (the “Accounting Firm”) which shall provide detailed support and calculations both to the Participant and to the Company within fifteen (15) business days after the receipt of notice from the Company that there has been a Payment. The amount of any Gross-Up Payment shall be paid in a lump sum within seven (7) days following such determination by the Accounting Firm. In the event that the Accounting Firm’s determination is not finally accepted by the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS’) upon any audit, then an appropriate adjustment, including penalties and interest, if any, shall be computed (with an additional Gross-Up Payment, if applicable) by the Accounting Firm based upon the final amount of the Excise Tax so determined. Such adjustment shall be paid by the appropriate party in a lump sum within seven (7) days following the computation of such adjustment by the Accounting Firm. All fees and expenses of the Accounting Firm shall be borne solely by the Company.

(iii)  A Participant and the Company shall each provide their reasonable cooperation to one another in connection with an IRS audit or inquiry of or to either party in connection with any Payment or Excise Tax due or Gross-Up Payment made in connection herewith.

(h)  Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.   Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Board, other provisions of the Plan notwithstanding, the terms of any Option, including any authority of the Company and rights of a Participant with respect to the Option, shall be limited to those terms permitted under Section 409A of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder, including any successor provisions and regulations, and including any applicable guidance or pronouncement of the Department of the Treasury and Internal Revenue Service (collectively, “Code Section 409A”), and any terms not permitted under Code Section 409A shall be automatically modified and limited to the extent necessary to conform with Code Section 409A; provided, that for purposes of the foregoing, references to a term or event (including any authority or right of the Company or a Participant) being “permitted” under Code Section 409A mean that the term or event will not cause the Option to be treated as subject to Code Section 409A.

8.  Adjustment Upon Changes in Ordinary Shares

(a)  Subject to any required action by the shareholders of FDMP, in the event of any increase or decrease in the number of issued Ordinary Shares resulting from a subdivision or consolidation of Ordinary Shares or the payment of a share dividend (but only on the Ordinary Shares), or any other increase or decrease in the number of such shares effected by FDMP without receipt or payment of consideration, (i) the Board shall proportionally adjust the maximum aggregate number of Ordinary Shares with respect to which the Board may grant Options, including the maximum aggregate which may be granted to any individual and (ii) the Board shall proportionally adjust the number of Ordinary Shares subject to each outstanding Option and the exercise price per Ordinary Share of each such Option.

(b)  Subject to any required action by the shareholders of FDMP, in the event that FDMP shall be the surviving company in any merger or consolidation (except a merger or consolidation as a result of which the holders of Ordinary Shares receive securities of another corporation), each Option outstanding on the date of such merger or consolidation shall pertain to and apply to the securities which a holder of the number of Ordinary Shares subject to such Option would have received in such merger or consolidation.

(c)  In the event of a dissolution or liquidation of FDMP, a sale of all or substantially all of FDMP’s assets, a merger or consolidation involving FDMP in which FDMP is not the surviving company, a merger or consolidation involving FDMP in which FDMP is the surviving company but the holders of Ordinary Shares receive securities of another company or corporation and/or other property, including cash, or any other similar transaction, the Board shall have the power to:

(i)  cancel, effective immediately prior to the occurrence of such event, each Option outstanding immediately prior to such event (whether or not then exercisable), and, in full consideration of such cancellation, pay to the Participant to whom such Option was granted an amount in cash, for each Ordinary Share subject to such Option, equal to the excess of (A) the value, as determined by the Board in good faith, of the property (including cash) received by the holder of an Ordinary Share as a result of such event over (B) the exercise price of such Option; or

(ii)  permit Participants to exercise their Options and participate in such transaction on a basis no less favorable than that afforded other owners of Ordinary Shares.

(d)  Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no Participant shall have any rights by reason of any subdivision or consolidation of any class of shares, the payment of any dividend, any increase or decrease in the number of shares of any class or any dissolution, liquidation, merger or consolidation of FDMP or any other company or corporation. Except as expressly provided in the Plan, no issue by FDMP of shares of any class, or securities convertible into shares of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number of Ordinary Shares which may be subject to Options pursuant to the Plan or which are subject to an Option or the exercise price of any Option. In the event of any change in the capitalization of FDMP or corporate change other than those specifically referred to herein, the Board will make such adjustments in the number and class of shares which may be granted under the Plan or which are subject to Options outstanding on the date on which such change occurs and in the per share exercise price of each such Option as the Board may consider necessary or appropriate.

9.  Securities Matters

FDMP shall be under no obligation to effect the registration pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of any Ordinary Shares to be issued hereunder or to effect similar compliance under any state laws or any laws of the Cayman Islands. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, FDMP shall not be obligated to cause to be issued or delivered any certificates evidencing Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Plan unless and until FDMP is advised by its counsel that the issuance and delivery of such certificates is in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations of governmental authority and the requirements of any securities exchange on which Ordinary Shares are traded. The Board may require, as a condition of the issue and delivery of certificates evidencing Ordinary Shares pursuant to the terms hereof, that the recipient of such shares make such covenants, agreements and representations, and that such certificates bear such legends, as the Board deems necessary or desirable.

10.  Rights as a Shareholder

No person shall have any rights as a shareholder with respect to any Ordinary Shares covered by or

relating to any Option granted pursuant to the Plan until the date of issue of such Ordinary Shares which shall be the date the Ordinary Shares are recorded as issued on the register of members of FDMP. Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 8 hereof, no adjustment to any Option shall be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date occurs prior to the date of issue of such Ordinary Shares.

11.  No Special Rights; No Right to Option

(a)  Nothing contained in the Plan or any Option shall confer upon any Participant any right with respect to the continuation of his employment by the Company or his membership on the Board of Directors of FDMP or interfere in any way with the right of the Board, the Company or the holders of the Ordinary Shares at any time to terminate such employment or such membership or to increase or decrease the compensation of the Participant from the rate in effect at the time of the grant of an Option.

(b)  No person shall have any claim or right to receive an Option hereunder. The Board’s granting of an Option to a Participant at any time shall neither require the Board to grant an Option to such Participant or any other Participant or other person at any time nor preclude the Board from making subsequent grants to such Participant or any other Participant or other person.

12.  Withholding Taxes

(a)  Cash Remittance.  Whenever Ordinary Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of an Option, the Company shall have the right to require the Participant to remit to the Company in cash an amount sufficient to satisfy federal, state and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such exercise. In addition, upon the making of any cash payment pursuant to the Plan, the Company shall have the right to withhold from such payment an amount sufficient to satisfy the federal, state and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such exercise.

(b)  Share Remittance or Withholding.  At the election of the Participant, to the extent permitted by the Board, when Ordinary Shares are to be issued upon the exercise of an Option, the Participant may tender to FDMP a number of Ordinary Shares previously owned by him, or direct the Company to withhold a number of Ordinary Shares, the Fair Market Value of which as of the exercise date the

Board determines to be sufficient to satisfy the federal, state and local withholding tax requirements, if any, attributable to such exercise and not greater than the Participant’s estimated total federal, state and local tax obligations associated with such exercise. Such election shall satisfy the Participant’s obligations under Section 12(a) hereof.

13.  Termination and Amendment of the Plan

(a)  The right to grant Options under the Plan will terminate on March 16, 2014. The Board of Directors of FDMP may at any time suspend or terminate the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever, provided that no such action will, without the consent of a Participant, adversely affect a Participant’s rights under previously granted Options.

(b)  Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the termination of the Plan, each Option outstanding at the time of such termination, if any, shall expire and be cancelled and, in consideration therefor, the Participant to whom each such Option was granted shall be entitled to a payment in cash, equal to the product of (i) the excess, if any, of (A) the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share as of the date of such termination over (B) the per share exercise price of the Option and (ii) the number of shares subject to the Option on the date of such termination. Each such Option the per share exercise price of which equals or exceeds the Fair Market Value of an Ordinary Share as of the date of such termination shall automatically expire and be cancelled on such date without any payment therefor.

14.  Transfers Upon Death

Upon the death of a Participant, outstanding Options granted to such Participant may be exercised only by the executors or administrators of the Participant’s estate or by any person or persons who shall have acquired such right to exercise by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. No Transfer by will or the laws of descent and distribution of any Option or the right to exercise any Option shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Board shall have been furnished with (a) written notice thereof and with a copy of the will and/or such evidence as the Board may deem necessary to establish the validity of the Transfer and (b) an agreement by the Transferee to comply with all the terms and conditions of the Option and the Plan that are or would have been applicable to the Participant and to

be bound by the acknowledgements made by the Participant in connection with the grant of the Option.

Except as provided in this Section 14, no Option under the Plan shall be Transferable.

15.  No Obligation to Exercise

The grant to a Participant of an Option shall impose no obligation upon such Participant to exercise such Option.

16.  Expenses and Receipts

The expenses of the Plan shall be paid by the Company. Any proceeds received by the Company in connection with any Option will be used for general corporate purposes.

17.  Failure to Comply

In addition to the remedies of the Company elsewhere provided for herein, failure by a Participant to comply with any of the terms and conditions of the Plan or the agreement executed by such Participant evidencing an Option, unless such failure is remedied by such Participant within ten (10) days after having been notified of such failure by the Board, shall be grounds for the cancellation and forfeiture of such Option, in whole or in part, as the Board, in its absolute discretion, may determine.

18.  Applicable Law

The Plan will be administered in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

19.  Effective Date of Plan

The Plan shall become effective upon approval of the Plan by the shareholders of FDMP.
