On World Food Day, Olam Agri distributed 600 food boxes to families across Nigeria, aligning with the theme “Innovate today. Nourish tomorrow.” Elizabeth Nnoko, Communications Manager at Olam Agri, stated that innovation in food systems is crucial for accessibility.

Beneficiaries like Rose Okereke, who cares for seven grandchildren, expressed gratitude, noting the food boxes would help sustain their families. Anil Nair, Country Head of Olam Agri Nigeria, emphasized the company's commitment to community well-being and food security, aligning with the Federal Government’s Renewed Hope agenda and the UN Sustainable Development Goal of Zero Hunger.

The initiative reflects Olam Agri's ongoing efforts in community-focused food support, building on previous partnerships, including a collaboration with the Lagos Food Bank Initiative in 2024, which distributed 800 food boxes valued at ₦13 million. The company also sponsored the Eko World Food Day initiative and committed to providing boreholes for farming communities in Nasarawa State.
