company has 3-4 months of soya and protein inventory (low cost), which
aided its quarterly performance.

Dairy
Institutional sales have been severely affected which in-turn impacted
segment’s performance; as GOAGRO had higher dependence on institutional
sales. However, the demand is gradually improving and is expected to bounce
back in the near term.
Milk procurement: 700,000litres of milk is procured per day by GOAGRO of
which 17-18% is directly procured from farmers. Another 50% is procured
through company’s collection centers and 30% is procured through agents and
other suppliers (on a fixed cost plus margins basis).
Increase in volumes of milk and value added products aided increase in segment
revenue by 9.7% in 2QFY22. Revenue from value added products grew by 38.2%
YoY in 2QFY22 over the corresponding previous period. EBITDA margins
improved in 2QFY22 after a challenging first quarter but were lower than
EBITDA margins for 2QFY21 on account of higher milk procurement prices.
Launched ‘Fruit Yogurt’ in 2QFY22 which has received encouraging initial
response.
Animal Feed
Improvement in cattle feed segment is due to gain in market share from
small/unorganized players.
EBIT/MT in the Animal segment increased to INR1,855/MT in 2QFY22 (v/s
INR1,748/MT in 2QFY21). Going forward, company plans to maintain the
EBIT/MT at similar levels.
Segment results registered a healthy growth of 21% YoY in 2QFY22 supported by
realisation of R&D benefits, introduction of new products and strategic raw
material stocking.

Crop Protection
Erratic and inconsistent rainfall throughout the quarter reduced application
opportunities for agrochemical products and reduced consumption. This
resulted in de-growth in segment revenues by 13%.
Margins were further impacted adversely as steep inflation in raw material
prices could not be fully absorbed resulting in lower margins in Pesticides.
Consequently, segment results decreased by 24% in 2QFY22.
Astec
Performance for the quarter was marred by closure of plant for ~15 days due to
unprecedented floods.
Also, global shortage of containers limited the ability to ship goods timely and
adversely impacted revenue and EBITDA margins.
Other highlights
GOAGRO was able to pass-on the increase in RM prices with a minor lag.
Company had inventory of 3-4 months of soya and protein (low cost inventory),
which also benefitted its quarterly performance.
Astec: New herbicide plant has been commissioned during the quarter and
commercial production has started. The plant is expected to reach optimum
utilization levels in the 3 months and some of the products are expected to be
exported in the next few months.
