During the quarter, the company launched 4 new products in the Crop Protection Segment which have been well received by the farmers. Further, the company’s R&D team has developed a rich product pipeline of technically superior products which are planned to be introduced during the year. The company is successfully conducting drone spraying trials in the farmer’s fields with speciality nutrition and crop protection products.

The investment in the mining company, BMCC, Senegal through its 100% subsidiary Coromandel Chemicals Ltd is expected to be completed in the coming quarter which will help in securing our critical phosphate rock needs.
