Commenting on the performance, Mr. V Shankar, Managing Director and CEO, Rallis India said, "I am pleased that our overall performance was in line with previous year in Q4. The below normal northeast monsoon severely affected the key southern States with 30 reservoirs in the regions below 40% storage levels. Overall Rabi cropping acreages are up 5%, except paddy which is down 12%.

During the quarter, we introduced Neonix - a seed treatment solution against soil borne insect and disease complex for Groundnut. Our Brands such as Ergon, Summit, Mark, Epic, Zeeny and Panida grande have registered good growth in 2016-17 and will be key drivers of growth going forward.

We continued with our focus on working capital and placing stocks to align with market requirements. Rallis continues to be near zero debt status with emphasis on cash.

In line with our promise to our customers - "Enhancing Farm Prosperity, Building relationships" we have launched Rallis Krishi Samadhan app for farming community, to provide a one stop solution for most of the farming needs.

The forecast for normal monsoon augurs well for the coming Kharif season. International business have performed in line with expectations. We have been qualified for couple of new businesses in contract manufacturing".
