Olam is one of the world's largest cotton companies, with a strong presence in most producing and consuming countries. We have a global supply network of over 100,000 farmers, ginners and suppliers and an established and diversified customer base across all markets.
We initially focused on growing our cotton business in Africa and Asia, which has always been a strong geographical base for Olam. With a clear vision and a well-executed strategy, the cotton business has grown rapidly, expanding origination, ginning and marketing capabilities to become a leading supplier of choice for African and Asian cottons. In 2007, we acquired Queensland Cotton, firmly establishing our footprint in Australia and strengthening our position in Brazil and the USA.
