Tap into ofi’s expertise and we can help you cater to the precise needs of your market. How about blending soluble coffee or cocoa with nut powder and a vegan creamer for a tasty, foamy 3-in-1 powder mix?

Cold beverages

Easy on the eye, refreshing on the tongue. Our innovation experts can help you create cold beverages with the perfect color and flavor. Savory nut beverages or iced tea produced from coffee cascara – you name it, we can make it.

Dairy alternative drinks

Plant-based beverages can be so much more than a dairy substitute – the buzz around innovation is reaching new highs. For example, our barista-grade nut beverages offer a well-rounded taste profile and are specially formulated for stability at high temperatures. For indulgence, look no further than our plant-based chocolate drinks.

Cocoa powders

Fruity or bitter, vibrant red to dark brown and black, we never take cocoa powder for granted. The key to so many tasty drinks, make sure you have the right type to get exceptional results. How about premium single-origin cocoa that can offer elevated transparency and luxurious taste profiles?

Nut butters & pastes

Our wide portfolio of nut butters and pastes can create creamy beverages that bring a health halo and unique taste experiences to your consumers. Take your pick from almonds, cashews, hazelnuts, peanuts, pistachios, walnuts and macadamias.

Almond flour

Consumers are buzzing about plant-based premix beverages, but companies still struggle with balancing taste and texture. Our almond protein powder can be the answer, improving the creaminess of your lattes, smoothies and shakes while providing a mouthwatering flavor.

Cashew flour

Our cashew flours and powders are made from the finest quality nut. Gluten-free, nutrient-rich and with a neutral taste, this versatile ingredient can be the perfect base for rich and creamy plant-based drinks. Magic happens where our cashew powder meets cocoa – and that's just the start.

Nut oils

It’s time for an oil change. Our oils can set your plant-based beverages apart with a variety of creamy textures. Whether you want an option that blends seamlessly into the background or one that takes a starring role in flavor, we can help.

ofi's cocoa business ‘raises regenerative agriculture ambition’ with new 2030 targets

ofi (olam food ingredients), a global leader in naturally good food and beverage ingredients and food solutions, is further enhancing efforts to tackle deforestation and drive regenerative agriculture by achieving seven landscape partnerships and bringing over a million hectares under regenerative agriculture by 2030.

These new targets align with ofi’s company-wide Choices for Change strategy and will be further boosted by the cocoa business’ tree carbon stock target of 15 million trees by 2030, converting as many farms as possible to agroforestry.

This announcement coincides with the release of ofi’s 2023 Cocoa Compass Impact Report, which shares the latest sustainability progress from across its cocoa supply chain and builds on the steps taken to protect and restore cocoa landscapes.

Regenerative agriculture highlights since the launch of the Cocoa Compass in 2018 include:

8.9 million trees distributed for agroforestry programs by ofi cocoa, working with customers and partners
57,000 hectares of land rehabilitated globally
970,000 farmers trained in Good Agricultural Practices

A living landscape partnership promoting sustainable forest management in Côte d’Ivoire

The Cavally region in Côte d’Ivoire, one of the country’s main forested areas and home to protected areas such as the Taï National Park (UNESCO), has lost more than 80% of its forest cover in the last decades which has been mainly attributed to coffee and cocoa production. In January 2023, ofi launched a three-year ‘Sustainable Forest Management’ program with IDH and customer JDE Peets, to conserve forest resources and promote sustainable coffee production in the region, referred to as the “ecological lung of Côte d’Ivoire” by the 4th vice-president of the Cavally Regional Council. At a time when coffee production is reviving in the region in response to higher global prices, the partnership is working to reduce pressure on the Taï National Park and Cavally nature reserve while improving incomes in the surrounding communities.

“At JDE Peet’s, we are committed to fostering a sustainable future for coffee by embracing origin diversity and strengthening our footprint in Africa. This project in the Cavally region is a significant step towards protecting vital ecosystems like the Taï National Park while promoting sustainable coffee production. By working together with our partners, we aim to create an environment where both nature and communities can thrive for generations to come.” - Judith de Boer, Global Green Coffee Partnership Program Lead, JDE Peet’s

The partnership is focused on sustainable agricultural production and social inclusion and in its first year delivered:

25,000 shade trees to mark farm boundaries, reforestation and creation of agroforestry systems.
Training to ~3,400 farmers on good agricultural practices integrated farm management, water protection, ecosystem conservation, and forest protection through 18 ‘trained trainers’
52 forest stewards from trained youths to contribute to the protection and preservation of the classified forest through patrols
Entrepreneurial opportunities for 750 women through establishing 20 Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) and training on creating biochar from cherry husks for additional income and firewood replacement
950,000 coffee saplings distributed to 2,800 farmers to contribute to the renewal of aging coffee farms.

“The main objective of the project is to ensure that the revival of coffee production in the Cavally region does not come at the expense of the forest cover and sustainable development, as it happened in the past. We are particularly delighted that this resonates with a partner like ofi ” - Matthew Spencer, IDH Global Director, Landscapes

This project is contributing to ofi’s overarching target to establish 20 living landscape partnerships across our global supply chains by 2030, with 6 of these established in coffee supply chains, as set out in our Coffee LENS strategy.
