This has resulted in the emerging channels growing at high teens, putting the General Trade under stress. To address the changing dynamics in the marketplace and support our distributor partners in tiding over the challenges, we took a proactive decision to rationalize inventory in the GeneraI Trade, which resulted in a temporary dip in sates during the quarter.
