Dear All, Let us explore the performance of major companies in Q1 of 2026-27 FY. India's agri-input sector delivered a mixed Q1 FY27 (April–June 2026) with agrochemical companies expected to post only ~3% revenue growth and a ~3% EBITDA decline on aggregate. Delayed and erratic monsoon patterns disrupted domestic demand, while exporters outperformed purely domestic-focused players. Fertilizer companies faced elevated raw material costs linked to the ongoing Middle East crisis, squeezing margins even as revenues grew. ## Q1 FY27 Results Summary: Please find the attached image #Key Dynamics & Themes #Monsoon Disruption Delayed and erratic monsoon patterns were the single biggest headwind for domestic-focused agri-input companies in Q1 FY27. #Exporters Outperform Companies with significant export exposure demonstrated clear outperformance. Sharda Cropchemgrew revenue 9% (though FX-driven, with volumes declining 1.6%) & expanded EBITDA margin by 220 bps to 16.6%. UPLmaintained guidance of 10–14% revenue and 14–18% EBITDA growth for FY27, citing stabilized demand in Latin America&North America. Margin Expansion Through Product Mix & Cost Discipline Several companies expanded margins despite flat or modest revenue growth: - *Best Agrolife* EBITDA margin jumped to 20% from 12%, driven by a 37% rise in patented product volumes & price increases - Sumitomo Chemical India* EBITDA margin reached 21.9% (+120 bps), the highest in seven quarters, on cost control & favorable mix - *Rallis India EBITDA grew 23% YoY, with B2C Crop Care surging 19% #Fertilizer Margin Pressure Coromandel International exemplified the fertilizer segment's challenges — standalone revenue grew 10% to ₹7,792 Cr, but PAT fell 26% due to elevated raw material costs triggered by the Middle East crisis. However, its Crop Protection business was a bright spot with revenue up 20%& EBITDA up 44%, while retail revenue surged 85% with 22 new stores added (1,200+ total). #Debt Reduction & Balance Sheet Strengthening UPLcompleted a ₹2,500 Cr rights issue in May 2026 to pare high-cost debt, reducing net debt-to-EBITDA from 4.6x to 1.6x, with a further ₹1.8K Cr debt reduction targeted for H1 FY27. #Strategic & Leadership Updates Sumitomo Chemical India announced a broad board reconstitution effective September 1,2026,with Dr. Suresh Ramachandran set to become MD - Dhanuka Agritech announced a ₹70 cr share buyback and a final dividend of ₹2 per share -Coromandel International reported subsidy outstanding of ₹3,254 Cr as of June 30, with an additional ₹568 Cr received in July # Outlook for FY27 The sector outlook remains cautiously optimistic. UPL has maintained double-digit revenue and EBITDA growth guidance, projecting 12% revenue growth for subsequent quarters with EBITDA margins expected to expand by 150 bps. PI Industries management targets late single digit to early double-digit revenue growth for FY27, depending on global conditions. Let us be watchful..AGMA ENERGY #Q1202627 FY

Five raises across our portfolio this month. Not one of them went toward a new app or a smarter algorithm. Warehouses. Biomass hubs. Manufacturing lines. Drones that had to be built, not coded. The founders who raised this month won by proving they could run the unglamorous, physical parts of agriculture. New edition of AgriTech Pulse is up!! Read it and let us know your thoughts in comments.

Patent Secured. Now Building What Can Replace Chemical Pest Control at Scale. 🚀 After 2 years of focused R&D, I’ve received a patent for my Stem Borer Detection & Prevention System—an agritech solution targeting one of the most damaging pest problems in high-value crops. 🌱 The problem: Stem borers cause 20–70% yield losses in crops like mango, grapes, and coconut. Current solutions rely heavily on chemical pesticides—costly, inefficient, and harmful to long-term soil and ecosystem health. ⚠️ The solution: A system that uses acoustic signatures and targeted sound frequencies to detect and disrupt pest activity—reducing chemical dependency while improving precision. 🔊 Why this matters: • Early detection before visible damage ⏱️ • Non-chemical, repeatable intervention 🌍 • Adjustable frequency ranges for different pests/crops 🎯 • Field-tested with promising yield protection outcomes 📈 This isn’t just a concept—it has been tested in real farm conditions and is now moving toward optimization and scale. What’s next: • Expanding trials across more crops and regions 🌾 • Hardware refinement for cost efficiency ⚙️ • Data-driven pest detection models 🤖 • Exploring commercialization and partnerships 🤝 I’m looking to connect with investors, agritech operators, and distribution partners who understand the scale of this problem and want to build a viable alternative to chemical-heavy farming. If you’re serious about backing solutions in sustainable agriculture and deep-tech innovation, let’s connect. This is just the starting point. 🔥 Vaishnavraj Sanjay Patil.

Water is the only agricultural input that every crop receives, every single day. So why do we rarely ask it to perform better? The future of Indian agriculture won't be defined by water availability. It will be defined by how effectively we use every drop. As water resources come under increasing pressure, food demand continues to grow, and climate patterns become increasingly unpredictable, the challenge is no longer about finding more water. It's about helping every drop do more. This is where water productivity becomes critical. At Jiva Water Farm Devices, we believe irrigation water should do more than simply reach the field. It should penetrate the soil more effectively, support stronger root development, improve nutrient absorption, and create healthier growing conditions. Our Proprietary inline water-conditioning technology is installed directly into existing irrigation pipelines. It works without electricity, chemicals, or moving parts, enhancing the uptake of nutrients and helping farmers make better use of every irrigation cycle. Because the future of Indian agriculture won't be measured by how much water we use. It will be measured by what every drop helps us grow.

Why detection is a decade behind Plantations have satellites, drones, and precision fertiliser — and still detect their most destructive disease by eye. Basal Stem Rot is the biggest biological threat to oil palm in Southeast Asia. Yet the standard way to find it is still a person walking the rows, looking for symptoms. The trouble is that by the time a palm *shows* symptoms, it's usually at a late stage — the tree is already dying, and its neighbours may already be infected. Detection at that point isn't detection. It's confirmation of loss. Two things have kept the industry stuck: — Symptoms are a lagging indicator. The disease works underground for months before the canopy tells the story. — It doesn't scale. Tens of thousands of hectares can't be meaningfully checked tree-by-tree on foot. So the real challenge was never "can we see a sick tree." It's "can we see a tree that is *going* to be sick — across an entire estate, repeatably." That's the gap I believe is finally closable. How I think about "early" — and why timing is everything — next. #PalmOil #PlantDisease #AgriTech #Innovation #Agriculture
