Côte d’Ivoire

We source directly from over 35,000 farming families, and a vast network of local traders.

Our offices, processing facilities and warehousing spaces are located strategically to support our growers and to connect us quickly to our markets.

During our tenure, we’ve made major investments in infrastructure, enhancing employment opportunities. We actively support the development of the sectors we participate in, and the sustainability of the livelihoods of those involved.

AtSource

Our cotton is AtSource+. AtSource is Olam Agri's revolutionary sustainability insights platform for agricultural supply chains.

It provides our customers unprecedented transparency on where their cotton has come from, as well as the social and environmental impact it has had on its journey, from the farm right through to ginning.

We recognise the importance of collaborating with IFC, ACF and Mitsubishi Corporation, and completed an anti-erosion project in 2021 to address soil degradation and erosion problems using retaining walls and raised beds method.

To date, over 750 farmers have been provided with training on soil and water management and advance methods of cultivation which will help improve their yield and revenue, and also conserve nature.

Rubber sourcing & processing in Cote d’Ivoire

We source naturally coagulated cup lump rubber from 15,000+ smallholder farmers. We then process this into Technically Specified Rubber (TSR) and export to various destinations around the world.

Olam Agri started its operations in 2016 as SAIC (Société Agro-Industrielle de la Comoé) in the Eastern Region of Côte d’Ivoire and has since emerged a leading player in the industry.

Olam Agri has contributed significantly to the socio-economic development of the region and its more than 40,000 inhabitants.

We work with a growing network of 20,000+ rubber growers who supply our ISO 9001-2015 certified factory at Aniassue. Our dedicated team of over 300 dedicated employees have made this factory one of the most modern and efficient ones in the industry.
