<span style = "text-align: left; display:block">FAQs</span>

no-bottom-spacer

<span class="h7" style = "text-align: left; display:block">What cotton varieties and origins does Olam Agri supply?</span>

<span class="p2" style = "text-align: left; display:block">Olam Agri sources and supplies cotton from all major producing regions, including the USA (Southeast, Mid-South, Southwest, Far West), Brazil, India, Australia, and Africa (Cote d'Ivoire, Togo, Chad, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Mali, and Zimbabwe). This multi-origin model allows buyers to specify preferred origins or access blended offerings depending on their quality and sustainability requirements.</span>

<span class="h7" style = "text-align: left; display:block">Does Olam Agri offer sustainable or certified cotton?</span>

<span class="p2" style = "text-align: left; display:block">Yes. Olam Agri is a member of the Better Cotton Initiative and produces its own sustainable cotton in Brazil's Mato Grosso state. In Africa, our integrated ginning model includes direct farmer support - providing seeds, agri-inputs, training in good agricultural practices, and agronomy services - to improve both yield quality and farmer livelihoods. Australian cotton is sourced via Queensland Cotton, recognised as an industry leader in sustainable production.</span>

<span class="h7" style = "text-align: left; display:block">What is the minimum order quantity for bulk cotton purchases? </span>

<span class="p2" style = "text-align: left; display:block">Minimum order quantities vary by origin and grade. We encourage potential buyers to contact our cotton team using the “Talk to Us” section at the bottom of this page to discuss their specific volume requirements, preferred shipment terms, and delivery schedule.</span>

<span class="h7" style = "text-align: left; display:block">Can Olam Agri guarantee year-round cotton supply?</span>

<span class="p2" style = "text-align:left; display:block">Yes. Our globally diversified sourcing network - spanning the Americas, Asia, Australia, and Africa - means we can provide reliable, year-round supply to textile mills in all major markets. The geographic spread of our operations ensures we are not dependent on a single harvest season or region. </span>

<span class="h7" style = "text-align:left; display:block">Does Olam Agri offer cotton ginning services?</span>

<span class="p2" style = "text-align:left; display:block">Yes. We operate extensive ginning infrastructure in Australia (through Queensland Cotton). In Africa, we have an integrated ginning model in Cote d'Ivoire, Togo, and Chad, where we work directly with smallholder farmers. A third gin in Cote d'Ivoire is currently under construction. This ginning capability gives us direct control over quality from field to bale.</span>
