The Company has established distribution centers in the state of Bihar, West Bengal and North East region contributing to significant growth in the top and bottom line of the Company. The Company also established supply of maize to multigrain refineries for production of Ethanol. These diversifications setting-off loss of exports business and sustain the growth in the business of the Company. To strengthen its position in the international market, the Company has invested USD 10 Million in its subsidiary in the UK to carry on global business of trading in commodities. With all these initiatives the Company is having positive outlook to sustain growth and profit margins.

One of the fastest growing economies in the world, India, is fast progressing on its ‘Viksit Bharat 2047' roadmap, with an aim to become a developed nation by the 100th year of its independence. The plan, that was recently unveiled, chalks out actionable and measurable goals in the areas of economic growth, sustainability, ease of living, ease of doing business and social welfare. The Government is taking several steps in this direction including, making significant investment on infrastructure and providing impetus to manufacturing. Along with the India Stack, a one-of-its-kind digital public infrastructure, these present long-term growth opportunities for businesses. At the same time, low per capita consumption presents significant headroom for growth for companies such as ours. We need to leverage this opportunity. At SAKUMA, we have already embarked upon this journey and are building muscle for the future. Your Company's performance for the FY 2023-24 has to be viewed in the context of the aforesaid business restrictions & limitations and market environment in which the Company had to operate.
