We’ve come so far, and yet we’ve only just begun.
Olam International begins exporting raw cashews from Nigeria to India. Cocoa follows in 1992, coffee in 1996, spices in 2002, and dairy in 2005. Olam continues to grow, investing in its portfolio and establishing global leaders for each business.
We launchseveral sustainability initiatives: Cocoa Compass, Coffee LENS, Dairy Tracks and Nut Trails. Each is focused on enhancing sustainability across their respective supply chains.
Olam reorganizes into three groups: Olam Group, Olam Agri, and olam food ingredients (ofi). This new structure allows us to sharpen our focus, enabling us to better serve our customers with a newly defined approach for evolving needs.
