“The company’s profitability performance in the quarter is reflective of streamlined inventory management and efficient logistics. Even though our revenues have witnessed a marginal downturn, I am confident that the sales will pick up pace in the ensuing quarters. This company’s bottom-line in the quarter is reflective of our focus on profitable growth. Our products add to the ease of farming by improving the quality of soil, providing nitrogen to crops and enhancing the quantity of yield. We expect the segment’s growth momentum to accelerate further with the government’s push to the agriculture sector in Budget 2019.
