hikes and softening of other commodities (palm, wheat) is helping it minimise the
impact. We believe milk prices would remain high until at least November-2023,
 which would aid pricing led revenue growth in CY23. We remain positive on nestle
given its distribution expansion, foray in newer products & pricing growth.
