INTRODUCTION TO THE PROJECT

Page 4: Amul

1.1 CONTEXT OF THE TOPIC

The dairy industries companies run mainly on the factors such as availability, service frequency,

affordability, taste and marketing. Availability is plays a vital role because purchasing power is depend

upon availability of that product, in case distributors and retailers service matter a lot.

A retailer or retail store is any business enterprises whose sales volume comes primarily from

retailing.

Market penetration is one of the four growth strategies of the Product-Market Growth

Matrix defined by Ansoff. Market penetration occurs when a company enters/penetrates a market with

current products. The best way to achieve this is by gaining competitors' customers (part of their market

share). Other ways include attracting non-users of your product or convincing current clients to use more

of your product/service (by advertising etc).

It was found that due to low consumption of milk, there is no more awareness of milk product

here It was the major cause to the low selling of “Amul” milk product. Like that penetration level in the

outlet of milk product was low.

Finally the whole study of the research work, the company needs the effective advertisement of

the product in the local channel and print media for awareness of “Amul” milk in the Panvel city

Promotion Tool Used

The consumer promotion tools mean the promotion activities, which are beneficial for

consumers as well as company. Such as price discounts, samples, cash refund, premiums, prizes, cross

promotion and coupons etc. We distributed it among customers and validity kept seven days from

issued.

The consumers are seduced to buy the product.

It helped to increase sales volume.

Consumer can get good quality of goods in cheaper price.

Page 5: Amul

It can attract the new consumers and customers buying other milk brands.

Attract brand switchers, who are primarily looking for low price, good value or premiums.

Turn switcher to loyal users,

It induced to make some subsequent purchases.

Give little permanent gain in market share.

1.2 Need of Study

Managers are always curious about the position of their company’s products in the market which

largely depend upon the company’s goodwill, and the position of their brand. In order to maximize the

sale and profit, company must deliver outstanding satisfaction to the retailers. So market survey of

retailers, chart out the position of the company as compared to the competitors. It helps the organization

to find out the brand being sold most by the retailers along with their stocking and also consumer buying

preferences.

1.3 Statement of the Problem

“A STUDY ON PENETRATION OF AMUL MILK IN RETAIL OUTLET OF Navi Mumbai

(Panvel) CITY”

It helps to determine penetration level which can be used to influence large number of retailers

so as to increase the sales of the Amul milk effectively”.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Page 6: Amul

Amul Milk, brand of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Limited (GCMMF).

Amul milk is the significant player in Mumbai in milk segment.

The project basic objectives are to estimate demand of Amul Milk and promoting Amul milk in

Panvel at the same time. In today’s competitive world while entering in the market it is very necessary

to have good knowledge of the potential of a particular market. The information regarding the activities

of competitor’s existing in the market so that we can plan our each activity according to that. Also it is

necessary to retain the existing customers apart from attracting the new customers.

The Project is concern with to determine the penetration level of Amul dairy milk in Panvel city.

The project included as part of MMS Programme and the project is done during the month of May and

June.

The project was aimed to find out various strategies that can be implemented to increase the

Retail penetration of Amul milk in Panvel Region of Navi Mumbai .These strategies were suggested

after a research on the milk industry in Panvel. There was questionnaire prepared for retailers. The

sample size was decided on 160 retailers by dividing group members to study the various areas in

Panvel.

We encountered a little problem in collecting data as the retailers were reluctant in providing any

kind of information on their relationship with the distributor/company. Also to ensure that the

information was accurate, the retailer had to be cross questioned on many occasions.

Basic analysis was done through pie charts and bar diagram to reveal the real picture in the

market in terms of percentage so that strategies could be thought upon the concrete data that had been

collected. These strategies were to be sought to be of benefit to the company, the distributors, the

retailers and the consumers. On successful implementation of the strategies it was expected that the

retail penetration of Amul milk would increase in Panvel.

INDUSTRY PROFILE

Page 7: Amul

Dairy is a place where handling of milk and milk products is done and technology refers to the

application of scientific knowledge for practical purposes. Dairy technology has been defined as that

branch of dairy science, which deals with the processing of milk and the manufacture of milk products

on an industrial scale.

The dairy sector in the India has shown remarkable development in the past decade and India has

now become one of the largest producers of milk and value-added milk products in the world.

The dairy sector has developed through co-operatives in many parts of the State. During 1997-

98, the State had 60 milk processing plants with an aggreg ate processing capacity of 5.8 million litres

per day. In addition to these processing plants, 123 Government and 33 co-operatives milk chilling

centers operate in the State. Also India today is the lowest cost producer of per litre of milk in the world,

at 27 cents, compared with the U.S' 63 cents, and Japan’s $2.8 dollars. Also to take advantage of this

lowest cost of milk production and increasing production in the country multinational companies are

planning to expand their activities here. Some of these milk producers have already obtained quality

standard certificates from the authorities. This will help them in marketing their products in foreign

countries in processed form.

The urban market for milk products is expected to grow at an accelerated pace of around 33%

per annum to around Rs.43, 500 crores by year 2005. This growth is going to come from the greater

emphasis on the processed foods sector and also by increase in the conversion of milk into milk

products. By 2005, the value of Indian dairy produce is expected to be Rs 10, 00, 000 million. Presently

the market is valued at around Rs.7, 00, 000 mn

Milk Production from 1950 to 2020

1950 – 17 million tones

1996 – 70.8 million tones

1997 – 74.3 million tones

(Projected) 2020 – 240 million tonnes

Page 9: Amul

The research and development need to the dairy industry to develop and survives for long time

with better status. The various institute and milk dairy companies R&D results provide base for today’s

industry growth and development. The research and development of products of dairy, like yogurt and

cheese market research and company reports provides insights into product and market trends, analysis

opportunities, sales and marketing strategies will help local milk unions to develop and spread world

The food processing industry sector in India is one of the largest in terms of production,

consumption, export and growth prospects. The government of accorded it is a high priority, with a

number of fiscal relieves and incentives, to encourage commercialization and value addition to

agriculture produce, for minimizing harvest wastage, generating employment and export growth. Food

processing industry is providing backbone support to the milk industry.

The development food products by using milk can give good market opportunities to produces

milk.

P roducts and I ndustry S tatus:

Among the products manufactured by organized sector are Ghee, Butter,Cheese, Ice-Creames,

Milk powders, Melted milk food, Infant food, condensed milk etc.. Some milk products like Casein and

Lactose are also being manufactured lately. Therefore, there is good scope for manufacturing these

products locally. Liberalization of the economy has led to a flood of new entrants, including MNCs due

to good prospects and abundant supply.

I nvestment P otential in M ilk P roducts :

At the present rate of growth, India is expected to overtake the US in milk production by the year

2010, when demand is expected to be over 125.69 ml.tn. Being largely imported, manufacture of casein

and lactose has good scope in the country.

INTRODUCTION AND HISTORY OF COMPANY

INTRODUCTION

AMUL (Anand Milk Union Limited), formed in 1946, is a dairy cooperative movement in India.

Headquartered in the small town of Anand, Gujarat, it is a brand name managed by an apex cooperative

organization, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF). Specializing in dairy

products, AMUL now takes pride in having built the largest food product business in the country. Being

a part of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), AMUL is a sterling example of

cooperative achievement in the developing world. AMUL survives and grows on the basis of

cooperative culture, cooperative networking, market acumen and respect for both producer and the

consumer. Presently, it is the most popular food brand of India.

HISTORY

Thus their cooperative unions were forced at the village and district level to collect and sell milk

on a cooperative basis, without the intervention of Government. Mr.Verghese Kurien showed main

interest in establishing union who was supported by Shri Tribhuvandas Patel who lead the farmers in

forming the Co-operative unions at the village level. The Kaira district milk producers union was thus

established in ANAND and was registered formally on 14th December 1946. Since farmers sold all the

milk in Anand through a co-operative union, it was commonly resolved to sell the milk under the brand

name AMUL.

The Union looks after policy formulation, processing and marketing of milk, provision of

technical inputs to enhance milk yield of animals, the artificial insemination service, veterinary care,

better feeds and the like - all through the village societies. Basically the union and cooperation of people

brought Amul into fame i.e. AMUL (ANAND MILK UNION LIMITED), a name which suggest THE

TASTE OF INDIA.

GCMMF’S SUPPLY CHAIN

Page 16: Amul

AMUL has the largest cold chain network in India (i.e. 18000 refrigerators) as compared to

any other company. The chemical components of milk are water, SNF and solids. Milk is very

perishable product so it has to be consumed within 24 hours. In order to avoid wastage AMUL converts

the milk in to SNF and milk solids by evaporating the water, which comprises up to 60-70% of milk

contents. This is possible only if the distribution channel right from the producer to the consumer is well

organized. It will be surprising to know that AMUL makes even the ‘Sarpanch’ to eat pizza i.e. it

supplies pizzas even to rural market. Last year, they are divided the retail market into 14 specific

segments to achieve further distribution efficiency. This year our focus was on inducting distributors

having expertise in servicing such specific market segments. This initiative is yielding results by way of

ensuring wider availability of our product range.

The role of distributors in our business process has never been more diverse or more important,

as it is today. As a matter of fact, we consider our Distributor to be the real

Page 17: Amul

“Marketing Manager” of our organization. To enhance business performance of our Distributors,

a workshop on Marketing and Sales Management was designed in collaboration with a premier business

school. The objective of the entire initiative was to upgrade the knowledge of our Distributors in terms

of contemporary Business Management Practices, so that they can perform well not only as our business

partner but also as Marketing Managers. During the year, 659 Distributors have undergone this

programme in 39 locations. Cold Storage is an extremely essential component in the Federation’s

distribution process.

Unfortunately, availability of efficient cold storage facilities is grossly inadequate in our country.

To cope up with the increasing need of suitable cold stores closer to our markets, we have continued our

endeavour of creating the Federation’s own cold stores this year in various locations across the country.

We now own 24 state of the art cold rooms of different sizes.

Page 18: Amul

Milk is the “nature’s perfect food” for all ages. It has almost all the vital nutrients need for the

growth and well being of human body. Milk is the richest natural source of calcium and essential amino

acids, which is good for bone formation. It is particularly beneficial for people recovering from sickness,

for sportsmen, for old people, for pregnant women and for growing girls and boys. The doctor

recommends a minimum daily intake of 250 ml or more for every person.

Normal cow milk has 4% Fat and buffalo has 7% Fat. There is another important constituent of

milk is Solids Non Fat (SNF). This (or SNF as it is commonly called) comprises of proteins, minerals,

carbohydrates and vitamins. For mil to be nutritionally balanced, it has to contain both Fat and Solids

Not Fat in proportion.

The PFA act lays down standards of Fat and SNF for various types of milk, as follows:

Page 19: Amul

Amul Milk is available in Navi Mumbai (Panvel) and surrounding areas in Toned, Full cream

and cow milk varieties. Amul Milk strictly confirms to PFA standards. In fact we keep ourstandards. In

facts

We keep our standards higher so as to abundantly comply with the legal requirements and to

provide wholesome nutritive food to our consumers.

This means when you are buying Amul Milk you are sure to get the “nature’s perfect food” for

your family. You are sure to get your full 500 ml. in every pack. You are sure of getting milk, which has

longer life because of superior bacteriological quality and state of art processing technology.

The loose milk available from local vendors often does not confirm to PFA standards. It often

has less Fat and less Solid Non Fat then required. Remember that if your milk contains 0.5% less Fat or

SNF, you are paying up to one rupee per pouch extra. Besides, it is not uncommon to find artificial

preservatives, which are not permitted by law being added to loss milk.

If you are buying cheap loose milk or even pouch milk, think again! By compromising on the

quality of milk, you may be depriving your children of essential life-building proteins and nutrients that

only pure and high quality Amul Milk will give.

As there were no facilities for boiling the milk, raw milk was supplied to British soldiers,

officers, and employees. They were not used to drink raw milk which created health problem for them.

The cattle sheds of Mumbai were in unhygienic conditions and rearing/nursing of cattle was done in

market environment. Descriptive research is more rigid than exploratory research and seeks to describe

users of a product, determine the proportion of the population that uses a product, or predict future

demand for a product. As opposed to exploratory research, descriptive research should define questions,

people surveyed, and the method of analysis prior to beginning data collection. In other words, who,

what, where, when, why, and how aspects of the research should be defined.

market.

Respondent hesitate to give true response to question.

Chapter 6

FINDINGS OF THE RESEARCH

Panvel territory is mainly distributed into two main parts Old Panvel and New Panvel .

Old Panvel is having relatively less no of retailers as compared to New Panvel, but from the

research it was found that in this market loose milk is more popular and this market is not covered by

milk distributing companies.

Retailers are not interested because of low profit margin almost all retailers are not interested in

Amul milk selling.

On question, why retailers are not interested in selling of Amul milk, it is found they were not

happy with margin, availability and replacement of damaged or unsold pouches.

Retailers were selling different brands. Because they were able to receive more margin from non

popularized brand that they could not from well known brands.

All retailers get Amul milk from company selected distributors.

Measurable amount of retailers were not happy with the distributors, because of frequent change

in distributors and late delivery of milk.

All retailers were familiar with sales promotion activities undertaken by Amul. But some of the

retailers were complaining about cheating during scheme as they didn’t get discounted amount back.

Some retailers were interested in the amul’s exclusive stall.

SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

The Milk products market has reached Maturity stage in India large no. of Cooperatives having a

variety of product range has entered the market, thus there is one way for Amul to sustain their milk

business in the market by delivering outstanding satisfaction to their retailers, so that they can take

interest in selling of Amul milk products.

This can be done as follow

Amul has a relatively good distribution network, but still company is not able to fulfill the

demand of outlet in the peak season when demand is very high. Here company should consider on the

supply of product in the peak season.

Supply should be regular to all the outlets including those that lie in the pocket roads and not

just in the outlets which lie on the easily accessible routes.

250 ml milk pouch should make available to more extent to retailers for selling, because

lower income family has intention to buy small pouch milk.

Provide reasonable Margin to retailers as compared to competitors, this motivates them to

promote company’s milk and milk products.

Improve delivery schedule to provide products on time for the retailers about who claimed

that Amul milk and other products are not available to them on time.

Incentives & schemes should be given to the retailers and some scrutiny should be follow to

check the scheme get being communicated properly by distributors or sales person.

Company should provide advertising facility like outside wall painting; provide company’s

stand boards, Posters which help to sell Amul milk.

Provide consistent service to retailers as this will help gain company goodwill in the market.

Do not change distributor frequently, because he is the only person who act as a connecting

link between company and retailers.
