Partnerships
Smallholder Farmer Networks
Olam works with about 6 million smallholder farmers across 60+ countries, supplying seeds, fertilizers, training in sustainable farming and ~US$200m in pre-harvest finance in 2024 to boost yields and quality; integrating these farmers into its supply chain underpins long-term supply security, reduces input costs, and supports traceability and quality control across key commodities.
Financial and Strategic Investors
Major stakeholders Temasek Holdings (26% stake via Tolaram and related vehicles as of 2025) and Mitsubishi Corporation support Olam Group with capital and strategic guidance, enabling targeted global expansion and joint ventures across 60+ countries.
These partnerships underpinned Olam’s ability to secure large-scale infrastructure financing—helping fund the company’s $1.4bn capex plan for 2024–2026—and provide diversified funding channels vital for liquidity in the capital-intensive agribusiness sector.
Logistics and Shipping Providers
Olam relies on a global network of shipping lines and freight forwarders to move goods across 60+ countries; in 2024 logistics accounted for roughly 12% of operating costs, and strengthened alliances cut transit delays by 18% YoY. These partnerships reduce supply‑chain disruption risk, help optimize transportation spend, and support on‑time delivery to 20,000+ customers worldwide.
Sustainability NGOs and Certification Bodies
Collaborations with Rainforest Alliance, Fairtrade and similar NGOs give Olam independent verification of sustainability claims, supporting its 2024 target to certify 1.2 million hectares and reducing deforestation-linked supply by 18% year-on-year.
These partnerships fund community programs in West Africa and Southeast Asia, and help protect brand value—certified volumes represent ~22% of Olam’s origination in 2024.
- Third-party checks protect reputation
- 1.2m ha certified (2024)
- Certified volume ≈22% of origination (2024)
- 18% reduction in deforestation-linked supply (YoY 2024)
Technology and Research Partners
Olam partners with tech firms and universities to boost digital tools and product R&D, funding projects like AtSource—launched 2019—to track sustainability across 60+ commodities and 25m+ farmer records as of 2025, and to advance seed tech and soil-health trials that cut fertiliser use by up to 15% in pilot plots.
Leveraging external expertise keeps Olam near the frontier of agricultural science and digital supply-chain mgmt, helping reduce scope 3 risk and supporting the group’s FY2024 sustainability-linked target of 30% of key origins on full traceability by 2026.
- AtSource: 60+ commodities, 25m farmer records (2025)
- Seed & soil pilots: ~15% fertilizer reduction
