Darling Ingredients, Irving, Texas, said on Jan. 20 it has added Ilan Oliver, Woodland, Calif., to its sales force for its Nature Safe Fertilizer organic brand, which is mainly produced at the company’s Turlock, Calif., plant. Darling said the state-of-the-art facility opened in early 2019, with more production, storage, and shipping improvements being added this year.
Darling said Oliver has over 30 years of global experience in both practical farming and commercial plant nutrient applications for soil, greenhouse, and hydroponic practices, including stints with both ICL Fertilizer and Haifa Chemicals.
He holds a master’s degree in agriculture science from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem with a practical research combination of soil chemistry and soil microbiology.
