	`TEXT:`
/LP, /TX	`LONDON - Fields of rotting fruit and vegetables in a country`
	`desperate for food and foreign currency made little sense to`
	`Eastman Kodak Co. when the U.S. firm was considering setting up a`
	`chain of fast film processing shops in Poland.`

/TX	`Selling Kodak film in Poland for payments made in the shaky`
	`local currency made little sense either.`

	`Recognizing that one of Poland's major handicaps was the`
	`absence of any industrial food refrigeration processes, the`
	`Rochester, N.Y.-based photographic equipment group set about`
	`devising a countertrade transaction that could prove a model for`
	`other companies eager to trade with Eastern Europe.`

	`Through a joint venture with a Polish organization and a`
	`small Swiss-based partner, Eastman Kodak arranged for`
	`refrigeration equipment to be shipped to Poland. Food that`
	`otherwise would have gone to waste or been sold only locally now`
	`can be frozen and exported.`

	`The resulting foreign exchange will be used to pay Eastman`
	`Kodak in dollars rather than zloty. The first exports of frozen`
	`food already have been shipped to the United States.`

	`"Western companies must think laterally rather than`
	`vertically when doing business with Eastern Europe and must not`
	`just stick to their own line of business," said Anthony Gould,`
	`director for central and Eastern Europe at Kodak Ltd. in Britain.`
	`Mr. Gould was actively involved in the negotiations.`

	`An arrangement like this not only solves the crucial problem`
	`of obtaining payment in hard currency, but also makes a`
	`contribution to industrial modernization, he believes.`

	`Many experts agree that processed food could become a major`
	`export earner for countries like Poland and Hungary, but right`
	`now Polish produce is either fresh, tinned or pickled and`
	`generally of a quality that would not be acceptable in the West.`
