ABOUT ASSIN OIL MILLS LIMITED (AOML)

Our Story: From Vision to Scale

Assin Oil Mills Limited was born out of a dual necessity: to bridge the gap between hard-working oil palm farmers and a reliable market, and to challenge the status quo of the industry.

While some viewed oil palm as a mere commodity, we saw it as a catalyst for inclusive development. We set out to prove that sustainable oil palm production isn’t just possible—it’s the engine that drives long-term prosperity for the entire community.

Following a successful test run in 2019, AOML officially commenced full operations in January 2020. Since then, we have evolved from a modest 3-tonne-per-hour (tph) facility into a powerhouse of production. By the end of 2025, we completed a major expansion, upgrading our capacity to 15tph to better serve our growing network of farmers and industrial partners.

Scale & Operations

Strategically located in the heart of the Assin North district, our facility at Assin Nduaso is built for efficiency and reliability.

Location: 2.5-acre industrial site in Assin Nduaso, Ghana.

Capacity: 15 tonnes per hour (tph) as of late 2025.

Operational Excellence: To ensure no fruit goes to waste, we operate 24/7 with three shifts during the peak season. During the lean season, we maintain a steady single-shift operation to ensure consistent supply.

Our Vision

To become the definitive national model for Shared-Value Agriculture, proving that industrial excellence and community ownership are the twin engines of Ghana’s future prosperity.

Our Mission

To operate a world-class agro-processing facility that maximizes the potential of the oil palm fruit while ensuring that the wealth generated is equitably shared with the farmers and families of the Assin district.

Our Core Value: Shared-Value

At AOML, we don’t just work in the community; we work with and for the community. Our culture is defined by Shared-Value—the belief that our corporate success is inseparable from the socio-economic progress of our farmers.

Community Impact: The AOML Ecosystem

We don’t just hire workers; we build livelihoods. AOML is proud to have facilitated the creation of over 1,500 jobs both directly and indirectly within the Assin community. Our “inclusive development” model supports a diverse ecosystem, including:
