Olam Group has received regulatory approval to sell 44.58% of its agribusiness unit, Olam Agri, to Saudi Agriculture and Livestock Investment Company (Salic) for US$1.8 billion. This sale is part of a larger plan to divest Olam's remaining stake in Olam Agri, valued at US$4 billion. The first tranche is expected to complete by Q4 2025, increasing Salic's ownership to 80.01%. Olam will sell the remaining 19.99% stake within three years through a call/put option. Olam shares rose 1.1% to S$0.89 before the announcement.
