Rallis launched “Seedsure” a mobile-enabled tool to digitize its hybrid seed production process Announcing the results, Sanjiv Lal, Managing Director & CEO, Rallis India, said, “Our revenue has been affected by weak export demand, falling prices, and erratic rainfall in the domestic market. Although our revenue for Q2 FY24 was lower at Rs 832 crore vs Rs 951 crore for Q2FY23, margins have improved through better product mix and cost optimization activities across businesses. Our Crop care revenue was Rs 737 crore vs Rs 923 crore PY, mainly due to lower exports. The seeds business did well through improved sales and strong performance for our Cotton hybrids in particular. The Multi-Purpose Plant at Dahej has been put to use. Amidst El Nino conditions, we remain cautious about the domestic and international markets. Global Agchem demand continues to remain soft on the back of inventory overhang and lower prices and revival is expected only after Q3FY24. The company's long-term strategy remains unchanged, focused on the expansion of product portfolio, widening of market reach, increasing manufacturing capacities, and digitalisation in operations”.
