Consumers are progressively seeking unequivocal assurance regarding the origin of their ingredients. With ofi’s unparalleled traceability capabilities, you are empowered to provide them with the precise transparency they demand.

Ensuring traceability for agricultural raw materials presents a formidable challenge due to the intricate and fragmented structure of many ingredient supply chains. Numerous crops are cultivated by smallholder farmers, who often transact through intermediaries, with subsequent reselling and mixing of products from diverse origins along the supply chain. In our pursuit of streamlining supply chain complexities, we strive to engage directly with farmers, establishing buying stations and fostering local cooperatives to enhance transparency and traceability.

This operational approach not only furnishes us with the critical data required to trace our supply chains back to the farmer groups with whom we collaborate, but also creates avenues for generating positive impact through the implementation of sustainability initiatives in partnership with customers, governmental entities, non-profit organizations, and development finance institutions. Through robust traceability, we are also empowered to mitigate social and environmental risks, including deforestation and human rights violations, thereby fostering more ethical and sustainable practices throughout our supply networks.
