KRBL Ltd My Opinion
KRBL Ltd is a Food Processing Company. It deals with Basmati rice. Note Indian Basmati flavor rice is the most popular and costly rice variety in World due to its fragrance and quality.
Basmati is exported to other countries as well. So Company generates revenue in foreign currency as well. The demand of Basmati will be there as it is an eatable. Rice is popular food all over the World. The consumption of Basmati rice is also increasing in India due to increase in earning power.
The food processing industry based on Basmati rice will have demand in future as well. It is dependent on Agriculture. That is the only risk associated with this sector. Apart from that the sector is poised for healthy growth in demand both internally and externally.
As of now I have not invested in this sector but will keep track on the sector and evaluate other Companies from this sector.
In case you are interested then you can track the company by adding it to your stock watch list. That way you can keep close eye on the Company.
