Chacko P. Thomas, managing director of Tata Coffee, said "I am pleased to report that our Instant Coffee business continues to perform well, registering higher volumes during the quarter compared to the previous year. We have seen good performances across geographies. However, while the volumes are higher, the Instant Coffee business continues to be under margin pressure due to the current competitive scenario in the industry. The overall Plantation Profitability has also registered an increase driven by improved volumes of coffee sold and better realization. The tea operations has also done better during the quarter compared to the previous year."
