The company said the pilot programme demonstrated that regenerative agricultural practices can improve productivity while enhancing soil health and long-term farm resilience. Encouraged by the results, AWL Agri Business plans to widen the initiative’s reach in partnership with industry stakeholders to support more mustard growers.
The initiative forms part of the company’s broader strategy to encourage science-based agricultural practices that improve farm incomes while building a more resilient supply chain for edible oils.
“As one of India’s leading food and FMCG companies with deep linkages across the agricultural value chain, AWL Agri Business remains committed to supporting science-based initiatives that strengthen agricultural resilience, promote sustainable farming practices and create long-term value for farming communities,” the company said.
It added that it will continue working with industry partners to advance India’s edible oil ecosystem and contribute towards the country’s long-term goal of edible oil self-reliance.
The announcement comes shortly after the company reported a healthy operational performance for the June quarter.
Last week, AWL Agri Business reported mid-single-digit volume growth for the first quarter of FY27, supported by sustained momentum in its Food & FMCG portfolio, alternate channels and Industry Essentials business.
Its Food & FMCG segment posted over 20% year-on-year revenue growth alongside more than 17% volume growth, led by robust demand for rice, which grew over 40%. Other food categories, including pulses, besan, soya nuggets, sugar, poha and personal care products, also recorded around 25% year-on-year growth, while the company added the Madhur brand through a licensing arrangement during the quarter.
Meanwhile, the edible oil business registered 13% revenue growth, although volumes remained broadly flat as geopolitical uncertainties kept inventory stocking cautious. The Industry Essentials segment delivered 14% volume growth and 30% revenue growth, driven by strong demand for oleochemicals and speciality chemicals.
Shares of AWL Agri Business Ltd. ended 2.51% higher at ₹185.99 on the NSE ahead of the announcement.
