Farm Inputs Division
The consolidated farm input operations reported a profit before interest and tax of Rs 571 crore for the quarter. The profit before interest and tax for the corresponding quarter of the previous year was Rs 397 crore.
Bio-products Division
For the quarter, the Bio-products Division (comprising bio-pesticides and nutraceuticals) registered a profit before interest and tax of Rs 10 crore. The profit before interest and tax for the corresponding quarter of the previous year was Rs 8 crore.
Commenting on the results, S Suresh, managing director, EID Parry, said, “The performance of the company in the second quarter of 2017-18 was largely impacted by a 46 per cent drop in cane availability during the special crushing season in Tamil Nadu due to the earlier drought conditions.”
“This had a cascading effect on the production and sale of sugar, power and alcohol. The above impact has been mitigated to some extent by better realisation of sugar price by 10 per cent compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year,” he added.
“In addition, the company has completed processing of imported raw sugar, allotted by the government of India under the tariff-rate quota (TRQ), which helped in sugar availability for sales. We expect the sugar prices to remain firm for the year 2017-18,” Suresh said.
“Better profitability in the bio-pesticides division was on account of the increased neem seed availability in the market, which helped to reduce the raw material cost in the bio-pesticides division. The focused marketing in the overseas market helped in the better profitability of the nutraceuticals division,” he added.
