Choice Vegetables
Olam’s proprietary Controlled Moisture™ (CM) Vegetables bring you
the best of superior performance, concentrated servings, vivid color
and unparalleled flavor. By controlling moisture through our propriety
processes, we gently eliminate excess water from the vegetables.
This means less water to lose in your finished foods and better
overall performance in fresh, frozen and refrigerated applications. The proof is in the product: pizza crusts and dough keep their
crispness; sauces, dips and spreads stay true to their original flavor;
and the sogginess in omelets and other dishes is totally eliminated.

A World Leader in Cotton
Olam is one of the world’s largest cotton companies with a physical
presence in most of the producing and consuming countries. We have a
diversified operation in the USA which includes managing our own ginning
operations, warehousing and logistics, and risk management.
Cotton was the first product for us in the USA, and paved
the way for expansion into all the other Olam products. Since
sourcing cotton from North Carolina farmers, we have taken
significant strides in the cotton business and have established
ourselves across the cotton belt in the USA. We have a presence
in all producing States as well as representation in numerous
industry bodies.
Our business in the USA is also geographically diversified, with a
presence in Texas, Tennessee, California and Arizona. Our ginning
and warehousing infrastructure is based in the latter two states.
Olam is one of the world’s
largest cotton companies,
with a strong presence in most
producing and consuming
countries. This allows us to
supply all growths of cotton
to the global textile market.
Our continued success
can be attributed to quality
products, services and valued
relationships with our suppliers,
growers and cotton spinners.
With warehousing and logistics being key factors in our business,
we have complemented our Arizona and California warehousing
scope with additional storage facilities in Dallas and Memphis.
Our Memphis warehouse enables us to participate in tendering
opportunities on the ICE futures exchange, while our marketing and
risk management solutions are directed from Dallas (Texas supplies
nearly 50% of the total US crop). We also have considerable
representation in the main cotton growing areas of West Texas
(Lubbock) and California (Fresno).

Putting Global Sustainability Principles Into
Local Practice
Our commitment to sustainability is inseparable from our global
culture, and is accordingly applied locally in each of the countries
where we operate. We actively invest in livelihoods, welfare and
local economies in America’s rural agricultural communities, to
create lasting positive change. Land use and water conservation arefundamental contemporary issues, and we strive to develop new
technologies and partnerships that will improve our processes.
From Principle to Action
Some examples of how our principles translate into tangible
actions include:
• Opening a mothballed plant in an area with extremely hig
unemployment thus bringing hundreds of outsourced job
back to the USA.
• Reduction of our farm footprint via management improve
waste reduction, strategic energy partnerships and water
efficiencies saved almost 150 million gallons in 2008.
• In our tomato operations, 85% of the bio-waste is reutiliz
cattle feed, and the remainder is used as an organic fertiliz
• We operate the only geothermally-powered dehydrator in
industry, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions
• We are improving industrial processing through strategic
partnerships with the Gas Technology Institute and PG&E
to reduce heat, energy and light output.
Olam in the United S
Increasing small farmer productivity
and helping them access markets
is key to making progress againstglobal hunger and poverty.
Organizations like Olam help to
create and supply the markets that
can help farmers increase their
incomes and build better lives.
