Risk intelligence
Inventory across all three crops (cotton, maize, rice) is reported as 'pretty high' in the system, particularly with companies. While management expects this to be absorbed by >15% growth, there is risk of pricing pressure or write-offs if demand falls short.
Illegal BT cotton seed continues to be sold in Gujarat, which could impact legal seed sales in that market. Management acknowledges this but notes they are not directly competing with illegal seed as their new hybrids target different segments.
Mixed opinions exist about monsoon patterns, and El Nino conditions could impact kharif planting. Fertilizer shortages have also been noted as an emerging concern. While seed demand is somewhat insulated, delayed or poor monsoon could affect crop patterns and demand timing.
Management acknowledged that current sentiment for maize is 'not that great' due to higher yields last year, El Nino uncertainty, and fertilizer shortages affecting farmer sentiment. This could impact maize sales despite strong FY26 performance.
