Announcing the results, Mr. Sanjiv Lal, Managing Director and CEO, Rallis India said,

“The erratic monsoon season this year has not favoured agri input companies as excessive rainfall continued into Q3 in the southern states. Despite these challenges, our domestic crop care business grew at 9.4%, and exports by 19% during the quarter. The seeds industry continued to face headwinds due to restrictions for sale of paddy and maize hybrids in some states.

Supply chain challenges continued into Q3 with availability being a challenge for certain intermediates as well as steep inflation in prices. We are focussed on minimising the disruptions to our production as much as possible and calibrated price corrections have helped in partially neutralizing the RM cost inflation.

On a longer term basis, our capex plans, new product introduction plans and demand generation investments remain on course as we do believe that normalcy will be restored progressively.

While positioning ourselves so, we are also consistently prioritising the safety and well-being of all our employees and other stakeholders.”
