Investment

The announcement signals a major strategic pivot for one of North America’s most storied rice companies and reflects broader industry trends toward localized supply chain resilience.

The US$40 million investment strengthens Olam Agri’s wheat milling and pasta manufacturing capabilities in West Africa and represents a major milestone in Ghana’s drive to deepen domestic production, enhance food security, and accelerate industrial growth.

The newly commissioned plant is designed to have a daily crushing capacity of 12 tons of soybeans, capable of producing up to 10 tons of high-quality refined oil for the domestic market.

The new facility features baking, packing, and warehousing capabilities, enabling innovation and development across an array of products, from granolas to nut and seed snacks.

The branch offers a practical shopping experience focused on convenience and ease, combining fresh daily products and freshly baked goods with ready-to-eat and ready-to-cook options to support everyday needs.
