The initiative brings together Olam Agri’s existing baker-development programmes across several African markets under a broader platform designed to expand skills development and economic opportunities in the baking sector.
The installation comprises 2,690 solar panels and is designed to generate approximately 2.29 million kWh of clean electricity annually, supplying power to Olam Agri’s pasta and flour manufacturing facilities.
The investment increases local flour production and comes days after the company widened its sustainable agriculture partnership with IDH across West Africa.
Building on successful collaboration in West Africa, the renewed partnership will scale sustainable sourcing initiatives, strengthen market access for producers, and promote inclusive agricultural development in Ghana, Nigeria, and potentially other countries.
The deal expands Olam Agri’s grain sourcing and farming business in Ukraine while marking another step in its growth under SALIC ownership.
