Bear-case history
Risks carried through the record.
medium
Geopolitical disruption to trade routes
Conflicts affecting the Strait of Hormuz and Red Sea have impacted shipping; management noted alternative routes but Middle East exposure is limited.
Working capital and cash flow strain
Inventory and receivables have risen significantly due to seasonal crop arrivals and strategic stockpiling; cash conversion cycle has increased, which could pressure liquidity if growth accelerates.
Dependence on EU-India FTA for margin expansion
Management expects the EU-India free trade agreement (expected early 2027) to reduce duties by 7-14%, boosting margins. Delay or failure would limit cost advantages.
