ECONOMIC OUTLOOK:

• GLOBAL ECONOMY

Global growth is projected at 3.1 percent in 2024 and 3.2 percent in 2025, with the 2024 forecast 0.2 percentage point higher than that in the October 2023 World Economic Outlook (WEO) on account of greater-than-expected resilience in the United States and several large emerging market and developing economies, as well as fiscal support in China. The forecast for 2024-25 is, however, below the historical (2000-19) average of 3.8 percent, with elevated central bank policy rates to fight inflation, a withdrawal of fiscal support amid high debt weighing on economic activity, and low underlying productivity growth. Inflation is falling faster than expected in most regions, in the midst of unwinding supply-side issues and restrictive monetary policy. Global headline inflation is expected to fall to 5.8 percent in 2024 and to 4.4 percent in 2025, with the 2025 forecast revised down. (Source: IMF, World Economic Outlook, January 2024).

As per the International Monetary Fund ("IMF") World Economic Outlook growth projections released in October 2023, the global economic growth for 2022 stood at 3.5% on a year-on-year basis, down from 6.3% in 2021 due to disruptions resulting from the Russia-Ukraine conflict and higher than expected inflation worldwide. The global economic growth for

2023 is projected to slow down to 3.0% and 2.9% in 2024, attributed to compressing global financial conditions, expectant steeper interest rate hikes by major central banks to fight inflation, and spill-over effects from the Russia-Ukraine conflict, with gas supplies from Russia to Europe expected to remain constrained. For the four following years, the IMF projects world economic growth in the range of 3.0% - 3.2% on a year-on-year basis.

INDIAN ECONOMIC OUTLOOK

• GDP growth and Outlook:

Resilience to External Shocks remains critical for near-term outlook

Amid a challenging global economic landscape and deteriorating geopolitical conditions, India continues to shine as a bright spot. It is the fifth-largest economy in the world and is poised to retain its position as the worlds fastest-growing major economy. Its GDP growth remained buoyant at 7.3% in FY 2023-24 as against 7.2% in FY 2022- 23, supported by robust domestic demand, moderate inflation, a stable interest rate environment, and strong foreign exchange reserves. Furthermore, an accelerated pace of economic reforms and increased capital expenditure paved the way for construction activities and large-scale employment opportunities in the country. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) commended Indias economic resilience, robust growth, and notable progress in formalization and digital infrastructure

GDP Growth Outlook:

Driven by resilience in urban demand and the front loading of the governments capital expenditure, the first half of Fiscal

2024 witnessed strong growth. While festive cheer is likely to support urban demand in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, the outlook for rural demand revival remains clouded amid monsoon deficiency and is likely to hit agricultural production. The recent announcements of various relief measures such as LPG price reduction and extension of Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Anna Yojna are expected to provide some cushion and so far, investment demand has remained robust.

However, there could be some moderation in the second half of Fiscal 2024 as both the government and private sector may restrain their capital spending ahead of the general elections. Despite some expected moderation in the second half of Fiscal 2024, Indias overall GDP growth for Fiscal 2024 is expected to remain on a firm footing. Strong credit growth, resilient financial markets, and the governments continual push for capital spending and infrastructure are likely to create a compatible environment for investments. External demand is likely to remain subdued with a slowdown in global activities, thereby indicating adverse implications for exports.

Additionally, heightened inflationary pressures and resultant policy tightening may pose a risk to the growth potential. Taking all these factors into consideration, in December 2023, the RBI in its bi-monthly monetary policy meeting forecasted a real GDP growth of 7.0% year-on-year for Fiscal 2024.

The major headwinds to global economic growth are escalating geopolitical tensions, volatile global commodity prices, and a shortage of key inputs. Despite the global economic growth uncertainties, the Indian economy is relatively better placed in terms of real GDP growth compared to other emerging economies. It is expected to grow at 6.3% in 2024, compared to the world real GDP growth projection of 3%. The bright spots for the economy are continued healthy domestic demand, support from the government towards capital expenditure, moderating inflation, and improving business confidence. Likewise, several high-frequency growth indicators including the purchasing managers index, auto sales, bank credit, and GST collections have shown improvement in Fiscal 2023. Moreover, normalizing the employment situation after the opening up of the economy is expected to improve and provide support to consumption expenditure.

Further, as per the Indian Meteorological Department ("IMD"), rainfall witnessed a deficit until September 2023. A drop in yield due to irregular monsoons and a lower acreage can lead to a demand-supply mismatch, further increasing the inflationary pressures on the food basket. Moreover, the consumption demand is expected to pick up in the third quarter of Fiscal 2024 due to the festive season. Going forward, the rising domestic demand will be driven by the rural economys performance and continual growth in urban consumption. However, high domestic inflation and global headwinds pose a downside risk to domestic demand.

At the same time, public investment is expected to exhibit healthy growth as the government has allocated a strong capital expenditure of about Rs. 10 lakh crore for Fiscal 2024. The private sectors intent to invest is also showing improvement as per the data announced on new project investments. However, volatile commodity prices and economic uncertainties emanating from global turbulence may slow down the improvement in private capital expenditure and investment cycle.

Some of the key factors driving the demand of soybean oil in India includes its large population, rising disposable incomes, growth of the food services sector and increasing demand in non-food applications.

In India, the changing consumer dietary habits are primarily augmenting the demand for soybean oil based on its neutral taste, high smoke point, and low saturated fat content. Moreover, rising consumer health concerns have led to the introduction of healthy product variants for managing heart health and lowering blood cholesterol levels. Additionally, the high penetration of international food trends in India has led to the increasing utilization of soybean oil in preparing condiments, dressings, mayonnaise, non-dairy creamers, margarine, shortenings, whipped toppings, etc. Besides this, the rising consumer sedentary lifestyles and their hectic work schedules are also augmenting the demand for soybean oil in processed food items. Moreover, soybean oil also finds several applications in the personal care industry based on its high content of vitamin E that prevents skin inflammation and helps in retaining skin moisture. Western and Central India currently represent the biggest markets for soybean oil in the country as they also represent the key regions where the domestic soybean crop is grown. Additionally, there is also a strong household demand for soybean oil in Western and Central India.

KEY MARKET DRIVERS AND CONSTRAINTS OF SOYABEAN:

Soyabeans contain hormone-like substances called phyto estrogens which are associated with beneficial health effects. Eating soybean-based food items reduce the risk of health problems, including cardiovascular disease, stroke, coronary heart disease (CHD) and cancer and improves bone health. The rising awareness about all these advantages is encouraging consumers to opt for low-fat, low-cholesterol soybean feeds. In emerging economies like China and India, the government is introducing initiatives to promote soy-based protein consumption among consumers and its importance for healthy body growth.

The important problem faced by soyabean production was severe drought condition or long dry spell during crop season, high cost of chemical fertilizers and plant protection, shattering of pods after maturity, non-availability of credit facility in time, infestation of pests, high labour wages, poor availability of quality seed materials. In soyabean marketing the major constraint was commission agents or merchants take unauthorized deduction in produce, high transportation rate, instability in prices.

SWOT ANALYSIS

Strengths Threats
• Experienced Management • Increasing Competition
• Diversified Business • Foreign Currency Fluctuations
• Locational Advantage • Changes in Government Policies
Weaknesses Opportunities
• Working Capital Intensive Business • Enhancing operational efficiency
• Timely Availability of Raw Materials • Exploring Export Market
• Labour Intensive business • Achieving Scale of Business Operations

RISK MITIGATION FRAMEWORK

oCompliance to growing regulatory norms is a continuing requirement which can lead to delays in obtaining necessary approvals. Changes in guidelines or policies in various geographies may also lead to sudden disruption of business in specified products. Many Agricultural Industries have foreign exchange exposure either in the form of forex loans or exports and imports. For Companies which operate largely in the domestic arena, any major forex movement may affect profitability due to fluctuating import costs.

While on the one side input cost could increase, on the other side weak monsoon could reduce pricing flexibility, thereby affecting margins. To minimize the risk, a comprehensive and integrated risk management framework is followed by the Company.

Details of these Committees are given in the Corporate Governance Report, which forms part of this Annual Report.
