    Press release

    Singapore 

    Olam Group Limited (“Olam Group”) announced today that its food, feed and fibre operating group, Olam Agri, has secured a 7-year US$100 million financing facility (“the Facility”) from Nederlandse Financierings-Maatschappij Voor Ontwikkelingslanden N.V. (“FMO”).

    The Facility has Olam Agri subsidiaries, namely, Olam Global Agri Pte. Ltd. and Olam Global Agri Treasury Pte. Ltd. as borrowers. The Facility is initially guaranteed by Olam Group which will be assumed by Olam Agri upon demerger of Olam Agri.

    Olam Agri will use the proceeds to support the flow of rice from India, Thailand, and Vietnam to African countries that depend on rice as a dietary food staple. This contributes to food security and strengthens value chain resilience in those markets.

    Hans Bogaard, Director Agribusiness, Food & Forestry at FMO, said: “We are pleased to support Olam, a founding member of the Sustainable Rice Platform that promotes low-emission, water-efficient rice farming. Its combination of large-scale reach, deep smallholder engagement, and advanced digital systems gives the company a structural advantage to be at the forefront of sector-wide sustainability progress. FMO looks forward to deepening partnership with Olam Agri and contributing to more reliable, sustainable, and equitable food systems across the Asian and African continents.”

    Julie Greene, Chief Sustainability Officer of Olam Agri said: “Ensuring reliable access to affordable, nutritious food is central to what we do as a global food and agri-business. This support from FMO strengthens our ability to move essential food from places where it’s grown more abundantly to markets where there’s high demand, while continuing to invest in resilient, transparent supply chains.”
