Commenting on the performance, B. S. Yadav, Managing Director, Godrej Agrovet Limited, said, “Q2 FY23 was a mixed bag for Godrej Agrovet as we achieved solid top line growth of 13.6 per cent in Q2 FY23 and 19.4 per cent in H1 FY23 over the corresponding previous periods. However, profitability was impacted due to commodity price volatilities, sustained cost inflation, limited transmission, and an unfavourable macro environment.
Uneven monthly as well as the geographic spread of the southwest monsoon led to lower sowing of Kharif crops, mainly paddy and foodgrains. Prices of rice bran jumped sharply in Q2 due to strong demand while Maize prices continued to trend higher. Crude palm oil prices, after reaching record levels in May’22, corrected sharply owing to high inventories in two key exporting countries – Indonesia and Malaysia coupled with the resumption of supplies post-lifting of the exports ban. In the Dairy sector, milk procurement prices continued to increase further with the limited transmission. For the Poultry sector, Q2 is a seasonally weak quarter due to the festive season resulting in a sharp decline in live bird prices.”
