Chinese import pressure
Geopolitical dynamics causing Chinese manufacturers to redirect capacity to non-tariff markets (India, SEA, EU), creating persistent pricing pressure despite competitive disadvantages.
Trade receivables and cash flow concerns
Analyst raised concern about receivables buildup and poor H1 cash flows. Management attributed this to strategic inventory build (raw materials, trading stock) rather than collection issues—but details remain opaque.
Anti-dumping duty request deflected
Two separate analysts asked about pursuing anti-dumping duties on camphor imports. Management declined, stating they are 'watching the situation' despite acknowledging 400-500 MT/month imports from China. No concrete action plan offered.
