TEL AVIV, Israel, June 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- ICL Group Ltd (NYSE: ICL) (TASE: ICL), a leading global specialty minerals and specialty chemicals company, announced today it will consolidate sales and marketing infrastructures for crop nutrition inputs.  Following the consolidation, sales and marketing efforts of commodity and specialty fertilizers will be undertaken by a single commercial organizational unit that will be managed on a regional basis.
