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.

AtSource receives equivalence under the SAI Platform’s Farm Sustainability Assessment – FSA 3.0.

Two tiers of ofi’s sustainability management system AtSource – AtSourceV and AtSource+ – have been recognized as equivalent schemes against the Sustainability Farm Assessment FSA 3.0 from the SAI platform, obtaining the gold and silver equivalence levels respectively for its spices, cocoa, coffee, and nuts products. This achievement reiterates ofi’s commitment to sustainability and to customers in their journey towards meeting their commitments.

We are pleased to announce that AtSource+ and AtSourceV have been benchmarked as equivalent schemes against the Sustainable Agriculture Initiative (SAI) Platform’s Farm Sustainability Assessment scheme – FSA Version 3.0, obtaining the highest-level equivalence for the AtSource+ tier¹.

The SAI Platform's Farm Sustainability Assessment FSA 3.0 provides a widely recognized framework to assess, improve, and validate on-farm sustainability in agricultural supply chains.

Following the benchmarking results, the AtSource system has achieved:

FSA Gold level equivalent for the AtSource+ tier, being the highest-level recognition and confirming best-in-class sustainable practices for farms in AtSource+ supply chains, and their commitment to high environmental and social responsibility standards.
FSA Silver level equivalent for the AtSourceV tier, confirming farms are meeting a well-defined standard of responsible agricultural practices. This includes good environmental stewardship, respect for labor rights, and safe working conditions.

Rishi Kalra, Executive Director and Group CFO at ofi quoted in Financial Times curtain raiser article ahead of COP 16

For Olam Food Ingredients, one of the world’s biggest suppliers of food and drink ingredients, the alarm rang with the bees.

As one of the world’s largest almond growers, OFI says it spends between $8mn and $11mn a year on honeybees needed to pollinate almond trees. Despite this, productivity on the farms started to decline “because the bees were stressed by their industrialised environment”, says Rishi Kalra, executive director and group chief financial officer. “So, we worked with partners to create natural habitats for bees on our farms and reduce their exposure to agrichemicals. What we saw was that productivity steadily increased.”
