Full analysisRevenue guidance
Category 3- Sales growth in mango pulp volumes for FY'25 expected to be similar to FY'24 due to 25% lower processing caused by lower quality raw material availability.
- Growth expected primarily from tomato and guava categories, benefiting from a good monsoon and doubled tomato processing capacity commissioned in October 2024.
- Target to expand pastry line with 2 additional lines soon, followed by 5 more, anticipating this business to generate over Rs. 100 crore with good EBITDA margins.
- Exploration of new geographies for tomato pulp including Russia, Sri Lanka, UK, and earlier exports to Spain indicate geographic expansion strategy.
- Frozen category expected to grow globally post-COVID; working on contracts with big brands and supermarkets primarily in the US, UK, Europe, and Gulf countries.
