Commenting on the results and performance, Mr. Mahendra Kumar Dhanuka, Managing Director, Dhanuka Agritech Limited said, “Dhanuka Agritech continues to achieve growth during this quarter as well. Despite delayed monsoons, we have achieved moderate sales growth. South and North zones are our key markets and have done well in this quarter.”
He further added, “Even today, India is heavily dependent on monsoons and so is the sale of plant protection chemicals. The last two years saw deficient rainfall. However, this year, there has been above normal monsoon in most parts of the country in the month of July & sowing & sales of Agro-Chemicals have picked up form July onwards. We are confident that the second quarter will be a bumper quarter for Agri Input Companies as well as for Dhanuka.”
