Cameroon

We expanded into Cameroon in 1995, focusing on sourcing and exporting agri-commodities, specifically cocoa and coffee. Since  then  ofi has become an influential player within Cameroon’s food sectors.

We seek to bring value to our partnerships throughout our supply chain. We aim to be the preferred buyer of farmers in all producing regions and are a key government partner in increasing the value of Cameroonian cocoa and coffee in the international market, which benefits farmers and their communities.

Processing Operations and Employment

We operate one of the biggest primary processing plants for coffee and cocoa in the country – USICAM. Here we dry, grade and export cocoa and coffee beans. As a result of the scale of our operations, we are a significant employer in the region.

Cultivate Sustainable Change

AtSource is our revolutionary insights platform for agricultural supply chains. It provides customers with a single view across their sustainability parameters and an understanding of how to influence these elements for the better.

Below are some examples of how initiatives have created a positive impact and focus on creating positive changes from the ground up.

The sweet treats and trends winning hearts this Valentine’s Day

Author | Madeline Bills | Cocoa Innovation Manager at ofi

Chocolate has long been synonymous with Valentine’s Day, with sweet treats a classic way to celebrate the season of love.

But Valentine’s Day is evolving, with Gen Z and Millennials redefining traditions. Many consumers are choosing to celebrate this day with friends and family members, as well as significant others. In 2023, 40% of Gen Z and 20% of Millennials said they were planning to buy their friends a Valentine’s gift.^[1] And what better way to do so than with cocoa?

As consumers change the way they celebrate Valentine’s Day – and who they celebrate with – there is an opportunity for manufacturers to develop new products. From introducing more exotic flavors in confectionery to creating more experiential formats and expanding into new categories, we’re seeing companies inventing new ways for consumers to celebrate the season of love with those who matter most to them. At ofi we explore the top chocolate, confectionery and bakery trends shaping Valentine’s Day 2024 and how manufacturers can develop new offerings to win the hearts of consumers.
