Celebrating Ten Years of Rubber<span class='txt-orange'> in Côte d’Ivoire</span>
<span class='p2'>Olam Agri Rubber Côte d’Ivoire celebrated the 10th anniversary of its presence in the country - an emotional and memorable event that honored a decade of transformation, growth, and shared achievements.</span>
<span class='p2'>This milestone offered an occasion to reflect on an extraordinary journey that began in 2015 with the acquisition of the first SAIC factory in Aniassué, which then operated with a capacity of 22,000 tonnes per year. Ten years later, thanks to sustained investment and disciplined scale‑up, the Aniassué site now boasts an impressive capacity of 110,000 tonnes annually.</span>
<span class='p2'>The company’s industrial footprint expanded even further with the commissioning of a second plant in Dibobly, in western Côte d’Ivoire, also built to a capacity of 110,000 tonnes per year. Together, these two flagship facilities reflect Olam Agri Rubber Côte d’Ivoire’s strong and growing presence in the national agro‑industrial landscape.</span>
<span class='p2'>Social impact has been an equally important pillar. Through the Nassey community programme, Olam Agri Rubber Côte d’Ivoire has supported numerous initiatives aimed at improving living conditions in its host communities. These include school and hospital rehabilitations, provision of essential infrastructure such as water pumps, recurring donations, and most recently the introduction of an academic excellence award for top‑performing students across its operational areas. Year after year, these actions reflect deep, lasting, and inclusive community engagement.</span>
<span class='p2'>The celebration also paid heartfelt tribute to employees with ten years or more of service true pillars of this success story. Their loyalty, professionalism, and unwavering commitment have been instrumental to the company’s industrial, social, and human achievements.</span>
<span class='p2'>As we mark this ten year milestone, we recognise an exceptional journey shaped by dedication, partnership, and shared ambition. Olam Agri Rubber Côte d’Ivoire renews its commitment to operational excellence, sustainable development, and long‑term value creation looking confidently toward the opportunities of the next decade.</span>
