Bakersfield, Calif. – Sun World International, LLC warmly announces the retirement of industry veteran and Sun World Grape Category Director Richard “Rick” Paul effective May 18.
Rick’s departure marks the end of an era for Sun World, and 26 years of impact that he has had both inside and outside of the company.

This season will be a game changer, and Sun World is poised for success today and the years to come.”
Rick has seen many industry and company changes over the years and has built strong relationships with customers, growers and coworkers during his career.
