Answered by Manu Talwar
Asked by Percy Panthaki: Why did Bakery segment growth slow from high teens to 9%?
p. 7
“During Navaratri, the bread consumption were at depth because of North India, they fast and they don't need nonvegetarian eggs and all. So that's a seasonal cyclic thing, which happened in the last quarter.”
