We maintain 50% inventory from season procurement. If prices drop later, we sell from existing inventory at current market prices; if prices rise above a limit, we start procuring fresh. This is how we sustain EBITDA margins throughout the year.
Our 30% CAGR growth plan is primarily through regional expansion. Organically from existing regions we get 10-12% growth; the additional growth comes from vertical and horizontal expansion. We've started distribution in North regions and targeting UP where we're on-boarding teams from large spice companies.
We are expecting this branded sale from 70% to 80% in one or two years. If our planning for specific region expansion is going fruitful then we will achieve 80% of branded sales in FY27 but anyhow we will achieve 80% till second half of FY28.
Margin from non-branded sales is only 4%. So branded sales is growth driver for margin.
After commencing of the new facility our utilization will be reach 100% within one or two month... if we started our new unit and considering Jangar unit combined we get 12,000 metric t of capacity but last year volumetric sales it was 16,000.
