Margin guidance

Category 3
  • Poultry segment volume growth expected at 8%-10%, but profitability remains volatile due to raw material (maize, soya) price fluctuations. Predicting steady profits is challenging.
  • Animal Health Products forecasted for 15%-17% growth in FY 2023-24, following a flat previous year due to restructuring.
  • Oilseed segment volume growth expected at 7%-10%, with margins around 3%, though value growth is unpredictable due to commodity price volatility.
  • The company is shifting focus from volatile poultry business to more stable, non-volatile segments like processed foods and AHP, aiming for steadier profits.
  • No major diversification planned; capital expenditure limited to the new animal health product project (~INR 50 crore) funded internally.
  • Overall, long-term growth is anticipated through expansion in branded products, processed foods, and QSR sourcing, with moderate volume growth across segments expected.
