Risk intelligence
Company is heavily dependent on imported raw cashews from West Africa (Ivory Coast, Tanzania, Ghana), with import cycle of 60-70 days. Rupee depreciation from 84-85 to 93-94 has already increased costs, and management expects another month for market absorption.
H2 margins compressed due to 1.5 crore additional depreciation, 30% inventory requiring manual processing (dead stock), and 15-20% platform fees on quick commerce channels. Working capital cycle has stretched significantly.
Inventory nearly doubled to 18 crore, partly due to 30% of cashews requiring manual labor processing (5-7 kg/day per labor). Company had to increase contract labor from 30 to 80+ workers. Debt jumped from 5 crore to 10+ crore for working capital.
Company is spending heavily on new SKU development (24 SKUs), platform listings (Amazon, Flipkart, Hyperpure, Blinkit discussions), golf tournament sponsorships, and corporate gifting without having analyzed customer acquisition costs. Management acknowledged sales are 'very less to be honest' and timeline to reach 10% B2C target is uncertain (6 months to 2 years).
