During the quarter, our domestic Crop Protection business grew by 7.7%, Crop Nutrition business by 22%. Exports declined by 6.5%, primarily due to inventory build-up at the customer end. Our seeds business revenue was Rs 24 Cr vs Rs 28 cr Q3 PY.

For the ongoing Rabi, we remain positive due to increasing crop acreages and robust commodity prices.

Our long-term focus continues to be investing in growth through new product introduction, expanding our retail footprint, and investing in flexible Multipurpose manufacturing plants for our new product pipeline.
