Sun World International has appointed Clifton Lollar in the newly created position as land and water transactions project manager for the California-based company.
Lollar will manage the acquisition of farmland and evaluate water use and water supplies for Sun World.
The appointment comes as the California enters its third year of drought, with more than 80 per cent of the state suffering from ‘extreme drought’ levels, according to the US drought monitor.
“Clifton Lollar’s extensive experience in managing local water operations will be of value to Sun World as we continue to bring added focus on land acquisition and efficient use of water assets,” said Sun World CEO Dave Dever in a company statement. “In working to expand our supply of proprietary varieties, we believe his appointment to our team will help to provide Sun World with the necessary resources for our organisational growth.”
Lollar joins Sun World after 11 years with Kings River Water Association, where he managed river operations and regulatory programs.
