RLF AgTech adds agribusiness trio to board

RLF AgTech (ASX:RLF) has appointed three agribusiness leaders to its board as the company seeks to accelerate its commercial growth.

Former Nufarm (ASX:NUF) CEO and Managing Director Greg Hunt, former Namoi Cotton (ASX:NAM) Executive Chairman Tim Watson, and AgWorld founder Christopher Ramsey will join RLF as non-executive directors from 1 October 2026.

Hunt has more than 35 years of leadership experience across the agriculture, agribusiness, and industrial sectors. He previously served as managing director of Elders and has held board positions across listed and private companies.

“RLF has developed technology with genuine commercial potential in a market that is increasingly demanding higher productivity, greater input efficiency, and more sustainable farming systems,” Hunt says.

“I have joined the board because I believe there is a significant opportunity to accelerate commercial adoption, build strategic partnerships, and create enduring value for farmers and shareholders alike.”

Watson brings more than 30 years of commercial farming experience, having developed and managed broadacre irrigated cropping and horticulture business Sunland Agriculture in southern New South Wales.

He later served as a non-executive director, chairman, and executive chairman of Namoi Cotton, leading the ASX-listed company through its acquisition by Louis Dreyfus Company.

Ramsey founded agricultural technology business AgWorld and has more than 35 years of experience spanning agribusiness, sales, marketing, and commercial strategy.

Executive Chairman Ben Barlow says the appointments add experience across global agribusiness, agricultural technology, listed companies, and large-scale farming.

“The appointment of Greg, Tim, and Chris is another important step in that journey and reflects our commitment to surrounding the business with exceptional leadership as we execute our strategy,” Barlow says.

RLF manufactures liquid fertilisers and seed treatments and operates through RLF Australia, Queensland-based LiquaForce, and RLF China. The company also sells its products into Southeast Asia and other international markets.
