Dante Sollano Delima

FounderChief Operating Officer

A true-blooded Filipino farmer and seasoned public servant, Mr. Dante Sollano Delima brings decades of frontline agricultural experience to NatureTech. Before founding the company, he served as Assistant Secretary of the Department of Agriculture and Head of the National Rice Program under the Aquino administration — a period during which annual palay production rose from 15.77 million metric tons to nearly 19 million, driven in part by the program's strategic cropping calendar reforms and expansion of irrigated farmlands.

His tenure in government deepened his conviction that the future of Philippine agriculture could not rest on imports, chemical dependency, or short-term fixes. It had to be built on self-reliance — on local knowledge, local resources, and a science that works with nature rather than against it.

That conviction became NatureTech. Mr. Delima led and initiated the development of a full package of natural and biological production inputs using local resources and indigenous knowledge, all in pursuit of a single goal: to support and advance self-reliant agro-industrialization in the Philippines. Through his vision, the NatureTech Soil and Crop Care Package was developed, nurtured, and brought to reality.

Starting as an ambitious new player in a highly competitive industry, NatureTech under Mr. Delima's leadership anchored its first product on the principle that "nature knows best" — micronized minerals sourced from local earth deposits, packaged into an innovation rooted in Filipino soil. A series of field tests and technical discussions followed, leading to the realization that microbes were the missing link. Through strategic networking and team-building around a shared passion for natural agriculture, the full NatureTech product ecosystem was born.

Joselito Dar

MicrobiologistPhD CandidateMaster of Arts, Major in Science

At the heart of NatureTech Innovation Group Inc. is a deep and unwavering commitment to science — and no one embodies that commitment more than Mr. Joselito Dar.

A microbiologist by training and a scientist by passion, Mr. Dar has spent his career exploring one of nature's most powerful and overlooked resources: the microscopic organisms that live within the soil. His pioneering work in the isolation and characterization of plant growth-promoting microorganisms — among them nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphorus and potassium-solubilizing bacteria, and Trichoderma species — laid the very scientific groundwork upon which NatureTech was built.

With a Master of Arts major in Science and an ongoing doctorate in Biotechnology, Mr. Dar brings both academic rigor and hands-on expertise to every product NatureTech develops. His research does not stop at the laboratory bench. He has been instrumental in translating complex microbial science into organic fertilizer solutions that are practical, proven, and accessible to Filipino farmers across diverse crop systems and soil conditions.

As one of the founding pillars of NatureTech, Mr. Dar represents the company's core belief that sustainable agriculture begins with understanding the biology of the earth itself — and that the future of farming lies not in chemicals, but in science working in harmony with nature.
