Management noted that the company was not materially impacted by the Iran conflict due to diversified sourcing and agile supply chains. Europe and the UK remain in an investment phase, while the Middle East and Rest of World saw strong growth.

Looking ahead, management aims to further solidify the core Basmati business, scale the Organic and RTE/RTC portfolios, and continue investing in digital transformation and ESG practices across the value chain.
