Australia

Australia is known for its natural and structural advantages in agriculture, including a favourable climate, a strong research and development capability, technology savvy producers and modern supply chain infrastructure. We operate an integrated supply chain for almonds, cocoa and dairy. 

Almonds

Since 2009, we have owned and operated 15,000 hectares of almond orchards, across 11 farms in the Sunraysia growing region of Victoria. We mainly grow non-Pareil, Carmel and Price almonds. 

 

Almonds require a Mediterranean climate and are therefore commercially produced in only a few locations worldwide. Coupled with our California almond orchards, we can deliver almonds to consumers around the world on a constant basis. 

 

Our highly mechanised farms utilise the latest irrigation infrastructure and technology, and our agronomy practices produce maximum yields and superior quality almonds while minimising pestilence. Our almonds are processed at our own state-of-the-art facilities to ensure consistent product quality, traceability and food safety.

 

ofi has its own established marketing and distribution network in all major almond consuming regions, which enables us to provide superior customer service in all markets.

Be the change: How women in Ghana are pioneering a more prosperous future for cocoa growing communities

International Women's Day is a moment to celebrate the progress toward achieving gender equality and women's empowerment. But it's also a chance to reflect and consider what still needs to be done to help achieve gender parity worldwide.

 

Take cocoa production, for example. On average, women earn only 21% of the income that men do1. At ofi, as part of our Cocoa Compass sustainability ambition and as a signatory to the UN Women's Empowerment Principles, we've been promoting gender equality in our cocoa supply chain for many years. I'll explain three ways we've approached this where I'm from, in Ghana.

How can companies implement effective workforce nutrition programs? 

By Clara Tessler, Nutrition & Health Manager, ofi

 

Malnutrition and poor health around the world continue to negatively impact businesses as result of working days lost to illness and reduced workforce productivity.

 

As well as benefiting employees, investments by companies in health and wellbeing can lead to better employee engagement, reduced absenteeism and higher performance and productivity.

 

We want to create an environment where employees want to come to work every day – it’s in everyone’s best interest.

 

To that end, at ofi we’ve set a goal that by 2030, everyone in our primary workforce will have access to nutrition support. This is the goal we are working towards to ensure the health and wellbeing of all our employees, driven by our purpose to be the change for good food and healthy future.

 

In 2021, with support from the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition (GAIN), ofi began the roll-out of the Workforce Nutrition Alliance’s Workforce Nutrition Scorecard to assess our baseline and develop or strengthen workplace nutrition programs that tackle issues related to malnutrition across our worksites globally. This includes initiatives across four pillars: healthy food at work, nutrition education, nutrition-focused and breastfeeding support, and resources for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
