About PALME D'OR
PALME D'OR is one of three brands SIFCA's refining subsidiary SANIA sells refined palm oil under in Côte d'Ivoire and the wider region, alongside DINOR and DORA. SANIA refines around 250,000 tonnes a year at Abidjan, exclusively from crude palm oil bought from PALMCI, the group's plantation company, so everything in the bottle has passed through SIFCA hands from the plantation onwards.

About the owner: SIFCA
SIFCA is a privately held company headquartered in Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire, founded in 1964. Brandtree records 5 brands under its control.
SIFCA is an Ivorian agro-industrial group founded in 1964 by the coming together of two property and finance companies, which moved into coffee and cocoa trading before settling on the three crops it works today: oil palm, sugar cane and natural rubber. It operates in five countries, employs more than 33,000 people across thirteen subsidiaries — three of them, SAPH, PALMCI and SUCRIVOIRE, listed on the Abidjan exchange — and is still a family-controlled business. Its consumer brands all come from one subsidiary, the refiner SANIA, which SIFCA describes as the largest refinery in Africa at 1,500 tonnes of refined oil a day and which buys the whole of PALMCI's crude palm oil output.
