Senegal

Olam’s operations in Senegal began in 2008 with the incorporation of our subsidiary, Société Senegalaise de Marchandises Alimentaires (SOSEMA).

Since then, Olam Senegal has grown into a leading agro-commodity company in Senegal and one of the leading importers and distributors of milk powder and rice.

Our grains business has also invested significantly in wheat milling, with our facility producing biscuit and baguette flour. We engage with bakers across the country to better understand their needs. Technical design and a focus on effiicency and environment has meant that our Senegal plant runs with around 25% lower power consumption than some of our other mills in Africa. Our initiatives to enable this include using renewables for lighting, section wise power monitoring, use of variable speed drives and single drives for multiple applications.

Overall in Senegal, we employ 61 permanent staff out of our head office in Dakar.

Indonesia has become my second home since I moved to its capital, Palu, in 2007 to lead a team of more than thirty people who form the heart of Olam Cocoa’s two-decade long operation in the country. I have witnessed the impact the 7.5-magnitude earthquake and tsunami have had on the country and its people, both in the immediate aftermath and up to the present day. The Indonesian government has indicated that the total confirmed number of casualties is 2,256 and have mainly occurred in Palu and the areas of Sigi and Donggala. Many more people have been reported missing and 235,000 have been evacuated from these areas since the disaster. In monetary terms, over USD$900 million worth of damage has been inflicted upon the country. I was one of the first to reach the disaster zone and although, thankfully, none of our employees were harmed, thousands of people were left without basic supplies.
