Customer Service & Logistics Supervisor, Wilmar AgServices
The Wilmar AgServices team has been firmly focused on capital and maintenance work in recent weeks to set us up for a strong fertilising season in 2026.
Our Bio Dunder liquid fertiliser plant at Oonooie is undergoing its scheduled maintenance shutdown in February as part of our ongoing commitment to operational excellence and readiness for the season. This planned, month-long shutdown plays a critical role in ensuring the long-term reliability, safety and efficiency of our operation.
In addition to essential maintenance work, we recently completed the installation of a new dam cover – an important infrastructure improvement designed to reduce rainwater catchment, maintain storage capacity and enhance dunder quality.
Outside of operations, we’re pleased to introduce our agronomy team to growers and industry stakeholders across our Bio Dunder supply regions.
Sales Agronomist Drew McGilchrist has more than 30 years of experience in the sugarcane industry and is well-known in the Mackay region. Graduate Sales Agronomist Marc Taniza recently completed his studies at the University of Queensland in Gatton and brings a fresh perspective to the team.
Our agronomists offer technical support, tailored agronomic advice and practical on-farm solutions to help growers maximise productivity and improve soil health.
Their expertise, coupled with our operational improvements, place us in a strong position to continue delivering high-quality fertilising solutions that support our growers’ requirements.
On a final note, our pre-payment offer is now open for 2026. You can earn $150 credit for every $10,000 pre-paid for your Bio Dunder liquid fertiliser. Get in before 30 June.
