Baku:Africa Olam Agri has announced plans to invest approximately $400 million in food processing across Africa by the year 2028. This strategic investment follows the company's previous expenditure of around $115 million in West Africa since 2024.
According to Africa News Agency, the investment will include the construction of a third animal feed mill in Nigeria, a 300,000-tonne plant in Cameroon, and the company's expansion into Côte d'Ivoire. Additionally, Olam Agri aims to enhance its pasta production capabilities in Ghana.
