Nestle India sees export pressure as green coffee headwinds impact overseas sales
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on April 24, 2025, 12:08 IST Nestlé India in its Q4 results update has flagged commodity headwinds in green coffee as a key challenge affecting its coffee export performance in the financial year ended March 31, 2025. The company, in its post-results commentary, noted that while overall exports witnessed expansion into new territories such as Maldives and Papua New Guinea, the growth in coffee exports took a hit due to sustained pressure in raw material prices. According to the company, exports of NESCAFÉ Sunrise to the United States continued, but overall export momentum was weighed down by rising input costs, particularly in green coffee, a vital raw material for the company's coffee portfolio. The impact was more visible in established export markets like North America, where MAGGI noodles also reported a decline. Nestlé stated that despite these challenges, it remained committed to strengthening its global footprint, introducing new SKUs in the Middle East and South Africa, and adapting its product portfolio to cater to varied consumer preferences. Meanwhile the company reported a 5.2% year-on-year (YoY) decline in standalone net profit to ₹885.41 crore for the quarter ended March 31, 2025 (Q4FY25), compared to ₹934.17 crore in the same quarter of the previous year. Following the announcement, shares of Nestle India traded 3% lower from their intraday high, last seen at ₹2,446.90 apiece on the NSE. Q4 FY25 Reuslts Today: Nestle reports 5.22% YoY decline in Net Profit to Rs 885 crore The company continues to monitor commodity inflation trends closely, especially in the beverage category, where coffee and cocoa remain sensitive to global pricing cycles.

Domestic sales crossed ₹5,235 crore, marking the highest ever in a quarter, led by improving volume growth and resilient demand.
