PREFACEThe M.B.A programme is well structured and integrated course of business

studies. The main objective of practical training at M.B.A level is to develop

skill in student by supplement to the theoretical study of business management in

general. Industrial training helps to gain real life knowledge about the

industrial environment and business practices. The M.B.A programme provides

student with a fundamental knowledge of business and organizational functions and

activities , as well as an exposure to strategic thinking of management.

In every professional course, training is an important factor. Professors give us

theoretical knowledge of various subjects in the college but we are practically

exposed of such subjects when we get the training in the organization. It is only

the training through which I come to know that what an industry is and how it

works. I can learn about various departmental operations being performed in the

industry , which would , in return, help me in the future when I will enter the

practical field.

Training is an integral part of M.B.A and each and every student has to undergo

the training for 6 weeks in a company and then prepare a project report on the

same after the completion of training. During this whole training I got a lot of

experience and came to know about the management practices in real that how it

differs from those of theoretical knowledge and the practically in the real life.

In todays globalize world, where cutthroat competition is prevailing in the

market, theoretical knowledge is not sufficient. Beside this one need to have

practical knowledge, which would help an individual in his/her carrier activities

and it is true that Experience is best teacher.

INTRODUCTION


11/110

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

plays a vital role because purchasing power is depend upon availability of

that product, in case distributors and retailers service matter a lot. Retailing

includes all the activity in selling goods or service directly to the customers or

personal nonbusiness use . A retailer or retail store is any business enterprises

whose sales volume comes primarily from retailing .

Retailers are the part of milk marketing channels and perform the work of

moving goods from producers to the customers. It overcomes the time,

place and possession gap that separates goods and service from those who

needs or wants them. Retailers as member of marketing channel perform a

number of key functions. Some functions ( physical, title, promotion ) constitute

a forward flow of activity from the company to the customers; other

functions ( ordering and payment ) constitute a backward flow from customers

to the company. Still others ( information , negotiation , finance and risk taking )

in both directions.

The project delves into the workings from the distribution aspect of an FMCG

organization, in detail. PARAS, being an FMCG company, attaches a lot of

significance to the distribution aspect of its business. The distribution channel of

PARAS holds a lot of potential in affecting the demand or sales of PARAS


12/110

products through delivery on time, delivery of variety of products, the retailer -

friendliness of the policies being set by the distributors and equitable

distribution of products to all the retail outlets in a particular region, to name a

few.

So, in order to plan retail coverage we map out the positions of Paras outlets

and competitors outlets. This project was carried out in Lucknow city. For

analyzing and presenting information that is tied to geographical location, we

divided the city in different wards. By analyzing geographical representation

and sales data with spatial distribution Paras outlets, competitors outlets and

the density of others in an area, we identify unexplored area and plan location

outlets to increase its market penetration. Using such research we can ascertain

the quality and depth of retail penetration in specific area.

Addition to this we carried out sales promotion activity through discount

coupons. Sales promotion consists of diverse collection of incentive tools, most

short-term designed to stimulate and/or greater purchase of a particular product

by consumers or the trade . Whereas advertise offers a reason to buy, sales

promotion offers incentive to buy . Sales promotion includes tools for consumer

promotion ( for example samples, coupons, prizes, cash refund, warranties,

demonstrations, contest ); trade promotion ( for example buying allowance, free

goods, merchandise allowances, co-operative advertising, advertising and display


13/110

allowances, dealer sales contests ); sales force promotion ( for example bonuses,

contests, sales rallies ).

Sales promotion efforts are directed at final consumers and designed to

motivate, persuade and remind them of the goods and receives that are offered.

1.2 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 decided to

use discount coupons. 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 good in cheaper price.

It can attract the new consumers and customers buying other


14/110

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.


15/110

1.3 Need of Study:

Managers are always curious about the position of their companys

products in the market which largely depend upon the companys goodwill, and

the position of their brand. In order to maximize the sale and profit, company

must deliver outstanding satisfaction to the retailers, wholesaler & customers. So

market survey of retailers, wholesalers & customers, 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.

1.4 Statement of The Problem:

MARKET ANALYSIS & SALES DEVELOPMENT OF PARAS MILK IN

LUCKNOW CITY

It helps to study all activities which can be used to influence large number of

customers so as to increase the sales of the Paras milk effectively.

INDUSTRY

&

COMPANYPROFILE


17/110

2.1 Industry Profile:-

2.1.1 The World Dairy Situation:

According to International Dairy Federation (IDF) on World Dairy Situation 2011

World farm milk production in 2010 grew by 1.8 percent. Milk from dairy cows,

which represents 83 percent of the world total farm milk production of 721

million metric tons (mmt), grew by 1.6 percent in 2010, while buffalo milk

production grew by 3.1 percent (and accounts for 13 percent of total world farm

milk production). This growth in farm milk resulted in increases in world

processed production of all major dairy products.

After decreasing slightly in 2009, global per capita milk and dairy production

grew by 1 percent in 2010 to average 104.6 kilograms (milk equivalent). World

regions with the largest share of world milk consumption include Asia ( 39

percent of global dairy consumption ), Europe ( 29 percent ) and North America

( 13 percent ). However, according to the IDF report, South America experienced

the largest rate of growth in dairy consumption followed by Asia.

World trade in dairy products continues to grow and in 2010 accounted for over

7 percent of farm milk production , or 51.9 million metric tons mmt. This was an

increase of 9 percent above the previous year. Most of these dairy products in

world trade came from the top 4 exporters, with the European Union, New


18/110

Zealand, United States and Australia accounting for 73 percent of world dairy

exports.

World dairy market prices in 2010 and early 2011 recovered from the lower

levels seen in late 2008 and early 2009. IDF reports that farm milk prices in the

United States in 2010 were 27 percent higher than year-earlier and increased 22

percent in New Zealand and 15 percent in the European Union.

2.1.2 Indian Dairy Industry - A Profile:

Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh,

Karnataka and Tamil Nadu are the milk surplus states in India. The manufacturing

of milk products is obviously high in these milk surplus States. Exports of dairy

products have been growing at the rate of 25% per annum in the terms of

quantity terms and 28 % in terms of value since 2001. Significant investment

opportunities exist for the manufacturing of value-added milk products like milk

powder, packaged milk, butter, ghee, cheese and ready-to -drink milk products.

India has emerged as the largest milk producing country in the world with present

level of annual milk production estimated as 94.5 million tonnes. We expect a

production level of 135 million tonnes by the year 2015. India has a large

livestock population base constituting 278 million livestock including 180.5 million

cattle, 82.8 million buffaloes, 4 million sheep and 9.2 million goats. The livestock

population is projected to increase to 322 million by the year 2015.


19/110

India, with some 27 per cent of Asia's population, accounts for more than

half of the milk output with enough growth potential to explore foreign markets .

In anticipation of the export opportunities and in view of the post GATT

scenario, India is gearing up to tackle the demands of the international market.

Indian companies are preparing themselves to meet international standards

and other non-tariff barriers. Planners are taking measures to meet the sanitary

and phyto sanitary specifications - prescribed by Office International des

Epizooties (OIE) under the auspices of the World Trade Organization (WTO) -,

which range from the quality assurance of processed dairy products to the health

status of livestock.

2.1.3 Major Players Of Indian Dairy Industry:

The dairy industry is dominated by the co-operative sector. About 60% of the

installed processing capacity is in the co-operative sector .The National Dairy

Development Board (NDDB) is a major player in the market with its major

brand, Amul. Leading brands like Amul, Nestle, Mother Dairy and Britannia are in

the race to tap the growing market.

Smith Kline Beecham Consumer Healthcare , Nestl India and Heinz India

are amongst the large MNCs that dominate the high-value milk products market.

Other players include Indian a Dairy Specialties, Jagatjit Industries Ltd and

various other state cooperatives.


20/110

The milk and dairy products segment is set for up gradation of cold-storage

chains for expansion. Mother Dairy, a wholly owned subsidiary of National

Dairy Development Board plans to make strong presence in the market of milk

and milk products under the Mother Dairy brand through retail outlets across

the country in addition to its own 300 outlets with provision of cold storage and

cold chains.

2.2 The Organization:-

2.2.1 Overview :

PARASs history reflects back to 1960, when the procurement of milk started

with 60 Liters of milk. The only fundamental that worked right from day one is

the quality, which got reinforced everyday of progress. Ch. Ved Ram, the

founder and promoter of our company is one of the connoisseurs in the dairy

farm industry. Ved Ram & Sons started as our partnership company in April

1986. Our first unit was established in 1987 under company's name VRS Foods

Limited and since then In tune with the rapidly changing technology, production

units are well armed with the latest equipment. These facilities enable us to cater

to the needs of our clients by selling over 2, 50,000 liters of milk per day in

Delhi Metro.

MILK gets its unique , great taste from dedication to monitoring quality,

special care, and attention to detail in the processing and packaging steps o

production. Through our careful processing and packaging, we have been able to

retain great taste. We're still delivering bright and early. What's more, we stick to

what got us here ...Lifelong commitment to quality and service.

We've built a bigger, better facility, expanded our product line and

opened retail stores. Whether we deliver right to your door, or you visit one of


29/110

our dairy stores , you can be confident that our quality and service will always be

"The Best". We believe that milk should taste just like milk- pure and simple. We

don't believe in adding anything to our milk.

Quality is believed to be a dynamic process which requires continuous

monitoring and up gradation . Thus it is our constant endeavor to make quality an

integral part of the entire value chain rather than the end point.

At the heart of the entire network of Paras are hundreds of Village level

collection centers covering 5000 villages across Western U.P., Haryana,

Rajasthan, Maharashtra and Gujarat from where the milk is collected everyday.

The farmers are not only helped in Finance but also in buying cattle, feed,

providing veterinary services and other infrastructure supports . The trust of the

farmers has grown stronger and so has the network.

There is continuous monitoring and up gradation of quality. The stress

therefore is on ensuring sanitation and hygiene right from village level. Thats

the reason why every Village level collection center is equipped for field

testing, efficient chilling and speedy transport to processing and manufacturing

facilities.


30/110

Our large manufacturing capacity at 5 different locations across most part

of India is backed by an impressive distribution network, to ensure that our

products find their way to every household in India.

QUALITY OF MILK

1. Nutritional or compositional quality

Fat & SNF, protein Lactose, Minerals & vitamin Etc

2. Food Safety Quality

Contamination due to feed, medicines, fertilizers, environment etc. in the milk.

Microbial quality, which is a function of general health of the cattle and milk handling

practices subsequent to milking the general hygiene of the farmers.

3. Sensory Quality

Off - flavour, smell / flavour which consumer like / dislikes.

FACTORS INFLUCING QUALITY:

The quality of an food materials including milk & milk products is influenced by

the manner in which the raw material, producer, transporter, processing , post

production handling, storage consumer and regulatory environment interact each

other.

Good processing and handling can only help to prevent or inhibit further

deterioration in quality but can not offset the harmful effects of the deterioration

in terms of toxins and acids which have already been produced due to

increased Bacterial Activity in the raw milk.


34/110

CONSTRAINTS IDENTIFIED IN ENSURING QUALITY

Portable water and drainage, approach road and electricity in DCS

villages

Awareness among the farmers resulting in poor hygiene, sanitation &

environment condition.

Inadequate microbial quality testing facilities in dairies

High ambient temperature , particularly in summer resulting in faster

growth of microorganism in the milk.

2.2.5 Procurement & Process:

OPERATING PROCEDURE OF MILK PROCUREMENT :

To meet out the milk requirement for manufacturing different milk products, VRS Foods

Limited procures good quality milk from 3 sources:

(A). Through Franchise:

In this procedure we provide our Infrastructure for milk chilling, staff for grading &

testing of milk and tankers for timely lifting of milk from MCC, to a person who procure

milk on our behalf. Milk comes directly to our MCC dock, where after proper grading

and testing milk is accepted.

(B). Through Supplier:

In this system, persons who have their own chilling facilities, procure milk through small

vendors and after proper chilling of milk, send the milk to our dairies through their own

tankers. At dairy, after proper testing on different parameters, if milk is found as per

prescribed norms is accepted.


45/110

(C). Through VLC System ( Direct from producers at village level ):

Salient features of this system are as follows

(1) Procurement and collection of milk is undertaken with most modern

management systems and IT intervention. It involves use of Automatic milk

collection Unit (AMCU/DPMCU). The person is selected as VSP after proper

screening.

(2) The milk is collected in both shifts i.e. morning and evening throughout the year,

through the village level milk collection centers. (VLCs).

(3) Each VLC is staffed and equipped with the following: -

One educated person called village service provider (VSP), having a minimum

qualification of matriculation, from the same village, who is adequately trained

in clean milk production, collection and testing of milk, dispatching and

transportation of milk, operating AMCU/DPMCU, pricing of milk, record

keeping and reporting etc.

(4) Each VSP is required to have adequate space for collection and testing of milk,

which can accommodate testing equipments, milk collection and transporting

milk cans and keeping records etc.

(5) Each producer is trained in hygienic milking procedure and carrying milk in a


46/110

steal bucket, with a cover on it to VLC.

(6) A team of qualified and trained supervisors is engaged to supervise & monitor

the activities at VLC level. They also train, guide and facilitate the VSP to

accomplish his task of procuring good quality milk from the producers.

(7) Milk from VLCs is brought to MCC through milk vans in 40 liter aluminum

cans, as per the schedule time table so that quality of milk remains good and it is

immediately chilled below 40C, to keep the quality of milk intact.

(8) At dairy dock of MCC, qualified staff is deputed for proper grading and testing

of milk and as per norms, only good quality of milk is accepted .

(9) VRS Foods Ltd. Is already catering the demand of urban masses of milk & milk

products through a net work of distributors and through door-to-door delivery

system, in NCR, Delhi and western part of UP.

(10) From Dairies as per the demand of market, milk & milk products are supplied

through insulated vans so that quality of milk & milk products could be

maintained as per norms and Govt. guidelines.

(11) The left out urban areas would be covered through direct selling of milk & milk

products through distributors and vendors network.

PROCESSING & LOGISTICS:

To maintain the quality of milk procured from the rural areas approximately 100 milk


47/110

chilling centers would be hired in the area of operation ( In the 5th year of operation ) so

that within 2.30 hrs milk would be chilled afterprocurement.VRS Foods Ltd. Is having its

OBSERVATION

&

FINDINGS


89/110

6.1 Observation &Findings:-

6.1.1 Retailers: (super market, grocery shops, etc.)

Because of low profit margin almost all retailers are not interested in Paras milk

selling.

Retailers are not interested because they dont have storage facility

but if company provides them such facility they will be sale Paras

milk.

The 1Ltr and 5 Ltr milk pouch are no available to the retailers for selling.

On question, why retailers are not interested in selling of Paras

milk, it is found they were not happy with margin, availability and

replacement of leak pouches.

Retailers were selling different brands. Because they were able to

receive more margin from non popularized as well as popularized

brand that they could not from well known brands.

All retailers get Paras milk from company selected distributors.


90/110

All retailers were familiar with sales promotion activities

undertaken by Paras. But more of the activities were not

communicated by distributors. So it shows that distributors are

taking the advantage of such activities.

Some questions were asked with view to convert retailers into

distributors, but due to low margin they denied that.

I found that customers were complaining about the packaging

especially packaging date because Paras do not print packaging date

on pouch.

When question came to retailers ratings towards Paras milk

rating most of the most respondents complaining about profit

margin and packaging date.

During campaign it is found that the mindset of consumers towards

Amul milk is very high and hence it has become a milk market player.

As from the sales chart it is clear that the sales of Amul pouch milk is

50% more than Paras pouch milk.

Retailers also demand for the replacements for the damage due to

the spoilage of milk that they have to bear when the Paras milk gets

spoiled after the purchase.


91/110

6.1.2 End Users:(House holds)

Consumers preference for purchasing of liquid milk is

mainly based on quality, taste, availability, home delivery and

freshness respectively.

Awareness level among the consumers is around 75% to 80% but still only

around 15%

consumers are consuming Paras milk.

Consumers have a perception that Paras milk is unfresh and

is having lots of cuddling problem.

The packaging of Paras milk is not popular among the customers as

compared to other milk brands are available in the market.

6.1.3 Bulk Users:(sweet shops, restaurants, hotels, canteens etc).

The awareness level of Paras milk in bulk users is around 90% but

only 10% are using Paras milk.


92/110

The preference of purchasing milk by the bulk users is mainly

quality, price and timely availability.

The reasons for not using milk by the bulk users are :

1. Higher price that is not meeting the competitors rate as bulk user are very

price sensitive.

2. In sweet marts mawa generation is less and there is a complaint about

cuddling of milk.

3. In case of canteens contract some of them prefer credit

purchasing which is against companys norms and policies.


93/110

SUGGESTIONS

&

RECOMMENDATION


94/110

9.1 Suggestions & Recommendation:-

The Milk products market has reached Maturity stage in India large number of

Co-operatives having a variety of product range has entered the market, thus

there is one way for Paras to sustain their milk business in the market by

delivering outstanding satisfaction to their retailers, so that they can take interest

in selling of Paras milk products. This can be done as follows:

Paras 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.

1Ltr ml milk pouch should make available 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


95/110

motivates them to promote companys milk and milk products.

Improve delivery schedule to provide products on time for the retailers

about who claimed that Paras milk is 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.

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.

Do not place more than one distributor in same market area.

Though the customers are asking for Branded milk is very few but Paras

should invest more money in Brand promotion and marketing in

Lucknow, it will be beneficial for the company in the long run as well

as in the short run.


96/110

Also advertising on the television, Radio Mirchi and Sponsorship of

the events, Trade Fairs will be a better choice.

The study of milk market reveled that there is no Mergers and

Acquisition in the milk industry. .

My research revealed that there is no awareness among the consumers

regarding the Paras milk in Lucknow. So it is advisable to the company to

conduct various consumer awareness programs like distributing of

pamphlets outside the big shopping malls, giving presentations in schools

and colleges about the Paras Milk by telling them about the qualities of

milk. By this we can able to reach to a large number of people at one

time only as there will students along with their teachers and other staff

members of the school and colleges.

The pamphlets should be printed in such a way that it not only

advertise about the milk but also provides information about how to

preserve the milk in different conditions.

In order to attract the ladies segment the pamphlets should have some

recepies on the other side of it.

Some brand ambassador like may be used. That will help customers to


97/110

accept the product more quickly.

Special offers should be there for dealers, retailers and consumers at the

time of festival or peak seasons.

Discount coupons should be given to the consumers in order to buy more

milk.

In order to push the milk to the customers the profit margin should be

increased.

Company should improve its distribution channel and should

increase the number of distributors.

Company should take care of retailers by solving their problems and

should call back by appointing separate company representatives.

Timely visit should be given to the retail shops.


98/110

CONCLUSION


99/110

8.1Conclusion:-

As we know that Paras is very big organization in New Delhi and

NCR. It has Milk, Flavored Milk, Dahi, Ghee which are its main/core

products. But in case of market like Lucknow the Paras milk is not a

popular product as compared to other milk brands. With the help of

research, company can find out its week points in Milk product and can

increase its market share through rectify mistakes. People have believed in

Parass product and they will accept it also if effective actions were taken.

The survey resulted into following conclusions :

Paras must come up with new promotional activities such that people become

aware about

Paras Milk like Paras Full Cream & Toned Milk.

Quality is the dominating aspect which influences consumer to

purchase Paras product, but prompt availability of other Milk brands

and aggressive promotional activities by others influences the

consumer towards them and also leads to increase sales.

In comparison to Paras Milk, the other players such as Amul,


100/110

Parag, Mother Dairy and Gyan provide a better availability and give

competition to the hilt.

People are mostly satisfied with the overall quality of Paras Milk, but

for the existence in the local market Paras must use aggressive selling

techniques


101/110

LIMITATIONS


102/110

7.1 Limitations:-

This report had to work under several constraints and limitations. Some of the key

limitation are:

1. The survey is limited only for five wards.

2. Time period of the project was 6 weeks, which may not be

enough to understand the whole market.

3. Convenient sampling was used as the mode of conducting the

research.

4. The sample size of the taken was small, therefore it can be said that the

chosen sample is not the representative of the whole population and

this hindered quantitative research.

5. The psychology and temperament of a respondent play a

significant role. Some respondents are more sensitive as against

others who are more tolerant. A change in the composition of the

respondents can affect the answers adversely or favorably.

6. Respondents may not have been true in answering various questions

and may be biased to certain other questions.

7. Out of the whole research and analysis, only three to four major brands

could be highlighted, leaving aside the other non-popular brands.

8. The questionnaire mostly contained multiple choice questions,

therefore many respondents did not give a proper thought before up


103/110

the questions, and some even ticked things, which were not

applicable. Therefore, all this increased the bias.

9. The sample size of Retailers / Wholesalers was very small and

therefore response from

them does not reflect the exact view because they may tobiased.
