BENGALURU, Feb 1 (Reuters) - India's Godrej Agrovet GODE.NS reported a 21% fall in third-quarter profit on Thursday, hurt by soft demand and inventory destocking.

Consolidated net profit fell to 918.4 million rupees ($11.1 million) for the three months ended Dec. 31 from 1.16 billion rupees a year earlier, the company said in an exchange filing.

The company's overall inventory levels have fallen 15.5% due to the ongoing destocking across the sector, according to analysts. This in turn affected the bottom line of the company.

Total expenses for the quarter rose 0.23%, while total revenue was flat at 23.45 billion rupees.

The animal feed segment, which constitutes more than half of the total revenue, rose 1.5%.

Shares of the company rose 1.9% on Thursday ahead of results.

BENGALURU, Aug 1 (Reuters) - India's Godrej Agrovet Ltd GODE.NS reported a 27.3% rise in first-quarter profit on Tuesday, aided by lower costs and growth in its animal feed and crop protection businesses.

The company's consolidated net profit rose to 1.05 billion rupees ($12.8 million) in April-June, from 827.1 million rupees a year ago.

The easing in retail food inflation in the quarter and demand recovery in the agriculture sector aided profitability as raw material costs cooled off.

Godrej Agrovet's input costs fell 5% year-on-year, while total expenses reduced by 0.6%. This helped offset total revenue staying flat at 25.10 billion rupees.

Profit before interest and tax at the company's animal feed business more than doubled in the quarter, while profit at its crop protection business grew 78.5%.

While the animal feed business accounts for about half of total revenue, the crop protection business is a bigger profit contributor, at roughly 41%.

Its smallest business by either measure is vegetable oils, where profit slumped 67% in the quarter as a correction in selling prices more than offset higher sales volumes, the Godrej Group-owned firm said in a statement.

Shares of the company, which competes with Venky's (India) VENK.NS and Kaveri Seed KVRI.NS among others, rose 0.4% on Tuesday.

They rose nearly 10% from April to June, sandwiched between Venky's 18% increase and Kaveri Seed's 6.7% gain.

BENGALURU, May 9 (Reuters) - India's Godrej Agrovet Ltd GODE.NS reported a 74.6% fall in quarterly profit on Tuesday, hurt by higher costs and weakness in its vegetable oil and crop protection business.

Consolidated net profit at the company, which competes with Venky's (India) VENK.NS and Kaveri Seed KVRI.NS among others, fell to 310.2 million rupees ($3.79 million) in the seasonally weak fourth quarter ended March 31, from 1.22 billion rupees a year ago.

Companies like Godrej Agrovet, which sell animal-feed to poultry farmers and produce crude palm oil, have seen their profit squeezed due to higher inventory costs. Some analysts have also warned that rising concerns tied to the El-Niño weather pattern could hurt them.

Finance costs at the Godrej Group-owned company rose about 50%, while total revenue from operations rose at a meager 0.7%. It saw a 22.8% sales drop in its vegetable oil arm and 31.4% decline in its crop protection business. Sales at its mainstay animal-feed arm rose 10.2%.

Shares of the Temasek-backed firm have fallen ~6% this year as of today's close.
