印度AWL农业业务（原阿达尼丰益）周二公布，第一财季净利润下滑近25%，因品牌棕榈油价格攀升促使消费者选择更便宜替代品。消费者预算紧张，工资增长缓慢，导致大品牌需求疲软。截至6月30日的季度，该公司合并净利润为236亿卢比（约合2751万美元）。食用油业务销量下降4%，尽管价格上涨推动总收入增长21%，至1705.9亿卢比。公司坦言，棕榈油销售持续承压，高价引发销量低迷，市场份额流失。
食品业务销量也下跌5%，受需求疲软、本地竞争加剧和物价上涨影响。小麦面粉销售尤其受挫。股价应声下跌2.2%。未来季度，随着棕榈油价格趋稳和通胀降至六年低点，销量有望反弹。首席执行官Angshu Mallick指出，通胀回落将提振食品消费，消费者更愿购买品牌产品如茶和面包。
竞争对手马利科尚未公布业绩，但预计季度收入增长约20%，受益于农村需求改善。（$1 = 85.7870印度卢比）
