# Cultivating Global Leaders: The ofi Future Impact Talent Program in Cocoa Manufacturing
Since 1996, our organization has evolved from a modest trading firm into a large-scale international agribusiness powerhouse. Our reach spans the vast archipelago, where we maintain a robust supply chain network, sourcing premium cocoa, coffee, palm oil, nutmeg, and pepper from over 400,000 farmers and local suppliers. As the leading exporter of both Robusta and Arabica coffee in the region—holding a combined 15% market share—and the primary exporter of cocoa products, we are deeply committed to sustainable growth. We recognize that smallholder farmers require consistent support to bolster yields and climate resilience, which is why we lead some of the most extensive sustainability procurement programs in the industry. With state-of-the-art cocoa processing at our BT Cocoa facility in Jakarta and a dedicated workforce of over 2,500 employees, we are now seeking the next generation of visionaries to join our journey.
