Rural demand slows down for FMCG

“Obviously there is a slowdown as far as FMCG is concerned. We are seeing a clear slowdown in rural. Despite us continuing to get deeper into rural areas, getting into more villages, etc, we have started to see the rural economy to splutter a bit. However, these are macro issues which companies like us cannot sort out," Varun Berry, executive vice-chairman and managing director, Britannia Industries Ltd, said during the company’s post earnings call on Thursday.

The company reported flat volume growth for the quarter gone-by.
