Mr. Sanjiv Lal, the Managing Director and CEO of Rallis India, has informed that, "Although the monsoon was delayed and impacted sowings, revamped channel policies and improved price realisation yielded a satisfactory performance both in agrochemicals and seeds in the domestic market. There has also been strong growth in our international crop protection chemical business and this momentum is expected to continue. Our capacity expansion at Dahej is on track. Raw material availability and cost pressures were witnessed in Q1. Meanwhile, Rallis remains focused on navigating this scenario with enhanced focus on supply chain effectiveness and executing on its growth plans."

Rallis India has revamped its trade policy which has been accepted by its channel partners in the domestic market, both Crop Protection (CP) chemicals and seeds. The firm's international CP chemical business grew by 12%, chiefly driven by Acephate and Metribuzin. The firm is poised to launch two formulations in the domestic market. Rallis India has also completed the first stage capacity expansion of Metribuzin 500 MT in June 2019 with its commercial production underway.
