In a nut shell: Olam enters hazelnuts business

Olam will acquire 100% of equity interests in hazelnuts exporter from Turkey.

A company announcement said the proposed acquisition of 100% of equity interests in the Progida Group, subject to closing conditions, is for an enterprise value of approximately US$38 million.

According to Olam, the Progida group is a leading manufacturer and supplier of natural and processed Turkish hazelnut kernels. “Turkey is the world’s largest producer of Hazelnuts accounting for 70% of world Hazelnut production,” said Olam.

The transaction involves the acquisition of Progida’s key assets and processing capabilities, which comprise ingredients processing facility in the Giresun region of Turkey with a total capacity of 40,000 metric tonnes of kernel per annum and two leased cracking units in the Ordu region, a key hazelnut growing region in Turkey.

The acquisition would be funded through internal accruals. The acquisition will be both value and earnings accretive from the first full year after consolidation.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
