partialVolume vs price growth in crop protection sales up 21%
Export has grown by 30%, and domestic B2B institution segments have moved by 36%. Domestic formulation B2C business has moved up by 5%. I would say volume and the value, more or less, it's aligned. We can take volume growth also in the same level.

partialReason for margin improvement in crop protection
The new products have helped in the domestic formulation business segment. But actually, that has to really play out. Our growth has come from the export segment, where we have grown in terms of volume as well as in terms of price. And being export-oriented, the currency also has helped us.

directImpact of EU FTA and CNY appreciation on exports
We currently export predominantly bioproducts to Europe. Not much of agrochemicals. With elimination of duties up to 12%-13%, I think it will improve the export competitiveness. We need to explore this further. At this point in time, it has not really played out for us.

partialNeed for price hikes in fertilizer to maintain margins
On an annualized basis, this EBITDA of INR 5,000-5,500 is still achievable for the current year as well. But there will be some drop in the margins in the current situation with the higher sulfur price and the current depreciation and not so compensating subsidy.

directPhosphorus price for the quarter
Not yet. Currently, the $1,290 remains. As the industry is not keen to increase its price any further, looking at the various aspects, the industry will be pushing for cost reduction in phosphorus price.

evasiveUnit economics of backward integration given sulfur price surge
Very difficult to put any number, but all I can say is there has been a reduction in the valuation compared to what it was 6-9 months before. Fortunately, the rock prices have been moderating. That has cushioned this impact to a great extent.

directEBITDA benefit expectation from backward integration projects
It will be more or less the same. I don't see any challenge because it is not only because of sulfur is going up. When sulfur goes up, PA price also goes up. So as far as the valuation is concerned, I don't see any major significant shift.
