We are pleased to have maintained our growth momentum in 2024 and to have achieved a significant milestone in our Re-organisation Plan.
Climate change presents a serious challenge to agricultural productivity and yields, which calls for greater sustainability, flexibility and innovation in the global food system. As our planet’s population continues to rise and demand for protein-rich foods increase, open trade will be ever more critical. Producing and moving food to where it is needed more efficiently and sustainably will be increasingly important.
Our differentiated approach, unique positioning, capabilities and competitive strengths underline the role we can play to meet the challenges facing our global food system, and longer-term issues facing global food and agriculture.
The resolve of the food and agricultural sector was sternly tested – yet again – in 2024. Geopolitical tensions, market volatility and macroeconomic uncertainty continued to weigh on economic conditions and the wellbeing of communities across the world.
Olam Group was not spared from these challenges. Resilience, however, underpinned our financial performance during the year, amid these persisting challenges and market circumstances that were beyond our control.

Frequently Asked Questions
When is the annual report published?
The annual report is typically published before mid-April for the Annual General Meeting to be held before the end of the month.
Is it possible to obtain a hard copy of the annual report?
In place of a hard copy of the full annual report, shareholders receive by mail a hard copy of a summary report, which contains a request form for shareholders to receive a hard copy of the annual report for the current issue and/or for future issues. Shareholders or members of the public may also write in to ir@olamnet.com to request a hard copy to be despatched to their local Singapore address by mail.
Do you publish a separate Sustainability Report?
We have adopted the Integrated Reporting framework for the Annual Report. Details on our approach to Sustainability and our achievements and targets can be found in the same report.
