India’s Godrej Agrovet posted a 48% jump in quarterly profit on Thursday, helped by strong growth in its animal feed and crop protection segments, as well as a one-time gain from the sale of land. Here are some details: Total revenue rose 9.3% to 23.33 billion rupees during the quarter. Revenue from animal nutrition, the company’s largest segment accounting for over 50% of quarterly revenue, rose 10.8% to 12.70 billion rupees. Crop protection revenue climbed 15.6%, recovering from weather disruptions in the prior quarter; palm oil and dairy businesses remained under pressure.
