The production of our quality fat filled milk powder involves several steps. First, high-quality skimmed milk powder is obtained by removing most of the moisture and milk fat from fresh milk. Then, carefully selected vegetable fats are added to the skimmed milk powder along with other minor ingredients. The mixture is thoroughly blended to ensure the fats are evenly distributed throughout the wet mix prior to spray-drying. The final product is then packaged to preserve its freshness and quality.
Cost-Effective – Fat filled milk powder offers a more affordable alternative to whole milk powder without compromising on taste or nutritional value. Its cost-effectiveness makes it a preferred choice for many food manufacturing applications.
Extended Shelf Life – The addition of vegetable fat to the milk powder enhances its stability and extends its shelf life. This feature is particularly favorable for food manufacturers, as it allows for easier storage and distribution.
Versatile Applications – Fat filled milk powder can be applied in a wide range of food products. It can be used as an ingredient in ice cream and yogurt, bakery goods, beverages, culinary sauces, snacks and more.
Nutritional Value – Our fat filled milk powder has been fortified with vitamins A, D3, and E to enhance its nutritional value. It is also a good source of essential minerals, and proteins, offering a convenient way for consumers to incorporate dairy goodness into their diet.

This week, the world’s attention turns to a heavy burden that can damage a child’s Health and Education: child labour. In ofi's cocoa business, we are focused on solving this problem every day.
Most child labour in cocoa relates to children carrying out hazardous tasks on the family farm, distinct from the much rarer issue of forced labour, and has no one cause. Labour laws can be misunderstood, and schools might be located far away. Even if there is a school nearby, children may not have the documents they need to enrol. When combined with rural poverty, many parents think their child’s time is best spent helping on the farm. And now, these cocoa-growing communities are also battling a global health pandemic.
We’re working to tackle each of these challenges in turn. Under our Cocoa Compass sustainability ambition, we aim to completely eradicate child labour from our direct supply chain by 2030 and ensure farmers’ children can access the education they are entitled to. In 2020, we reached the critical milestone of rolling out child labour monitoring across 183,000 households in nine countries.
There is still a lot to do, and collaboration with our customers, national governments, and civil society is essential. For example, we recently asked the Fair Labor Association (FLA) to assess the extent to which cocoa farmers and their families have benefited from our sustainability programmes in Côte d’Ivoire, their perception and satisfaction with these interventions, and help to refine our approach further.
Using a due diligence methodology called Social Impact Assessment, the FLA collected extensive data and interviewed over 450 people from ten cocoa communities, including women and children. It found that of all our efforts to tackle child labour, the setting up of child labour monitoring and remediation and enabling access to education are the most advanced and have the most significant impact.
It also revealed that over two-thirds of those interviewed think child labour is on the decline in their community, and 80% believe that the interventions by ofi and our partners are contributing to protecting children.
There are areas for improvement. The FLA suggested we provide additional support to help farmers access affordable labour. And ensure greater follow-up with Village Savings and Loans Associations to maximise their ability to promote child protection.
We know that combining our efforts through multi-stakeholder partnerships, championed by local and regional governments, and supported by international finance institutions, is the best way to create the kind of long-term systemic change needed to reach universal school attendance
and graduation for children in cocoa communities.
This World Day Against Child Labour reminds us that if we want to put children first in cocoa, we must be open to testing new approaches and adapting our efforts based on what works best. The future of a cocoa generation is at stake if we don’t.
