Laos

The climate and landscape in Laos provide the right growing conditions to produce some of the finest estate-specific certified specialty coffee in the world. Our subsidiary Outspan Bolovens Ltd (OBL) sits at an altitude of 1,250 metres. It was the first coffee estate in our portfolio, joined by others in Brazil, Tanzania and Zambia.

 

Through AtSource, we support more than 2,500 coffee farmers near our Laos estates to improve production yields – an example of how large-scale farmers can work hand-in-hand with smallholders to create value. Follow the links below to see where our coffee is grown.

 

To date, 1,300 hectares have been planted by ofi for the supply of niche coffee markets worldwide, with a total of 2,000 hectares planned.

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.

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.
