INTRODUCTION
In this research I have survey the product performance and buying behavior of twofamous brands of chocolates Nestle and Cadbury, which are consumed by people of allages. During this research I have interacted with people of Ambala. After this researchI came to know how people perceives these products on the variables like price, quality,advertisement, satisfaction, taste, packaging, brand loyalty etc. I also came to knowwhich particular brand of chocolate is most preferred by people of different age groups.In this research I have surveyed that how frequently and how much chocolate theyconsume, whether they buy small, big or family pack. Trend of ongoing changes in their
likings has been shown in the report. In this report I have tried to explain the entireresearch and facts product wise.

CONSUMER PREFERENCE
All marketing starts with the consumer. So consumer is a ver y important person to amarketer. Consumer decides what to purchase, for whom to purchase, why to purchase,from where to purchase, and how much to purchase. In order to become a successfulmarketer, he must know the liking or disliking of the customers. He must also know thetime and the quantity of goods and services, a consumer may purchase, so that he maystore the goods or provide the services according to the likings of the consumers. Goneare the days when the concept of market was let the buyers beware or when the marketwas mainly the sellers market. Now the whole concept of consumer s sovereignty
prevails. The manufacturers produce and the sellers sell whatever the consumer likes. Inthis sense, consumer is the supreme in the market.
As consumers, we play a very vital role in the health of the economy local, national orinternational. The decision we make concerning our consumption behavior affect thedemand for the basic raw materials, for the transportation, for the banking, for the
production; they effect the employment of workers and deployment of resources and
success of some industries and failures of others. Thus marketer must understand this.

Preference (or "taste") is a concept, used in the social sciences, particularly economics. It
assumes a real or imagined "choice" between alternatives and the possibility of rank
ordering of these alternatives, based on happiness, satisfaction, gratification, enjoyment,
utility they provide. More generally, it can be seen as a source of motivation. In cognitivesciences, individual preferences enable choice of objectives/goals.
The study of the consumer preference not only focuses on how and why consumers makebuying decision, but also focuses on how and why consumers make choice of the goodsthey buy and their evaluation of these goods after use. So for success of any company or
product promotion it is ver y necessary to depart its concentration towards consumerpreference.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
As learning is a human activity and is as natural, as breathing. Despite of the fact thatlearning is all pervasive in our lives, psychologists do not agree on how learning takes
place. How individuals learn is a matter of interest to marketers. They want to teachconsumers in their roles as their roles as consumers. They want consumers to learn abouttheir products, product attributes, potential consumers benefit, how to use, maintain oreven dispose of the product and new ways of behaving that will satisfy not only theconsumers needs, but the marketer s objectives.
The scope of my study restricts itself to the analysis of consumer preferences, perceptionand consumption of Cadbury and Nestle Chocolates. There are many other brands ofchocolates available but my study is limited to two major players of chocolates leaving
behind the others. The scope of my study is also restricts itself to Ambala region only.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
In attempt to make this project authentic and reliable, every possible aspect of the topicwas kept in mind. Nevertheless, despite of fact constraints were at play during theformulation of this project. The main limitations are as follows:
Due to limitation of time only few people were selected for the study. So the
sample of consumers was not enough to generalize the findings of the study.
The main source of data for the study was primary data with the help of self-administered questionnaires. Hence, the chances of unbiased information are less.
People were hesitant to disclose the true facts.
The chance of biased response cant be eliminated though all necessary steps were
taken to avoid the same.

Chocolates
Chocolates! Chocolates!
Ever y body has a liking for them, be they in the form of bar
Or a tiny little gem,
Or shaped like a rectangle,
Or a sphere, a brick or an clair.For chocolate lovers it is fun,
To have them during rain, breeze or sun.
They are white and brown in color,
And taste sweet and bitter
Some have them in a glass of cold coffee, or in the form of a toffee.
Some eat them when they are sad
Some relish them when they are happy or have sweet dreams,
But I feel, to have chocolatesWe dont need a reason,
Cause we can have itAnytime, any season!

History of chocolate:
The origin of chocolate can be traced back to the ancient Maya and Aztec civilizations inCentral America, who first enjoyed chocolati a much-prized spicy drink made fromroasted cocoa beans.Throughout its history, whether as cocoa or drinking chocolate beverage or confectionarytreat, chocolate has been a much sought after food.
The Aztec empire
Chocolate(in the form of a luxury drink) was consumed in large quantities by theaztecs: the drink was described as finely ground, soft, foamy, reddish, bitter with chilliwater, aromatic flowers, vanilla and wild bee honey.The dry climate meant the Aztecs were unable to grow cocoa trees, and had to obtainsupplies of cocoa beans from tribute or trade
Don Cortes
The Spanish invaded Mexico in the 16th century, by this time the Aztecs had created a powerful empire, and the Spanish armies conquered Mexico. Don Cortes was madecaptain general and governor of Mexico.When he returned to Spain in1528 he loaded his galleons with cocoa beans and
equipment for making the chocolate drink. Soon chocolate became a fashionable drinkenjoyed by the rich in Spain.
Chocolate across Europe
An Italian traveler, Francesco carletti, was the first to break the Spanish monopoly. Hehad visited Central America and seen how the Indians prepared the cocoa beans and howthey made the drink, and by 1606 chocolate was well established in Italy.

Drinking chocolate
The secret of chocolate was taken to France in 1615, when Anne, daughter of Phillip 2 ofSpain married king Louis 13 of FranceThe French court enthusiastically adopted this new exotic drink, which was considered
to have medicinal benefits as well as being a nourishing food. Gradually the custom ofdrinking chocolate spread across Europe, reaching England in the 1650s
First chocolate for eating
Up until this point all chocolate recipes were based on plain chocolate. It was an Englishdoctor, sir Hanss sloane, who- after traveling in south America- focused on cocoa andfood values, bringing a milk chocolate recipe back to England.The original Cadbur y milk chocolate was prepared to his recipe.
History:
The earliest record of chocolate was over fifteen hundred years ago in the centralAmerica rain forests, where the tropical mix of high rain fall combined with high yearround temperatures and humidity provide the ideal climate for cultivation of the plantfrom which chocolate is derived, the cacao tree. Chocolate is made from the cocoa bean, found in pods growing from the trunk and
lower branches of the cacao tree, Latin name theobroma cacao meaning food of thegodsCacao was corrupted into the more familiar cocoa by the early European explorers.
The Maya brewed a spicy, bittersweet drink by roasting and pounding the seeds of thecacao tree with maize and capsicum peppers and letting the mixture ferment. This drinkwas reserved for use in ceremonies as well as for drinking by the wealthy and religiouselite; they also ate cacao porridge.The Aztecs, like the Mayans, also enjoyed cacao as a beverage fermented from the raw
beans, which again featured prominently in ritual and as a luxury available only to thever y wealthy. The Aztecs called this drink xocolatl, the Spanish conquistadors found this
8/7/2019 17368896 8201172 Study of Consumer Behaviour Towards Nestle and Cadbury Choclates
20/77
almost impossible to pronounce and so corrupted it to the easier chocolat the Englishfurther changed this to chocolate.The Aztecs regarded chocolate as an aphrodisiac and their emperor, Montezumareputedly drank it fifty times a day from a golden goblet and is quoted as saying ofxocolatl: the divine drink, which builds up resistance and fights fatigue. A cup of this
precious drink per mits a man to walk for a whole day without food
Chocolate in Europe
Xocolatl! or chocolat or chocolate as it became known, was brought to Europe byCortez, by this time the conquistadors had learned to make the drink more palatable toEuropean tastes by mixing the ground roasted beans with sugar and vanilla ( a practicestill continued today), thus offsetting the spicy bitterness of the brew the Aztecs drank.
The first chocolate factories opened in Spain, where the dried fermented beans broughtback from the new world by the Spanish treasure fleets were roasted and ground, and bythe early 17th century chocolate powder from which the European version of the drinkwas made- was being exported to other parts of Europe. The Spanish kept the source ofthe drink- the beans- a secret for many years, so successfully in fact, that when English
buccaneers boarded what they thought was a Spanish treasurer galleon in 1579, only tofind it loaded with what appeared to be dried sheeps droppings, they burned the wholeship in frustration. If only they had known, chocolate was so expensive at that time, thatit was worth its weight in silver ( if not gold), chocolate was treasure indeed !Within a few years, the cocoa beverage made from the powder produced in Spain had
become popular throughout Europe, in the Spanish Netherlands, Italy, France, Germanyand in about 1520 it arrived in England.The first chocolate house in England opened in London in 1657 followed rapidly bymany others. Like the already well established coffee houses, they were used as clubswhere the wealthy and business community met to smoke a clay pipe of tobacco,conduct business and socialize over a cup of chocolate.

Back to the Americas
Events went full circle when English colonists carried chocolate (and coffee) with themto Englands colonies in north America. Destined to become the united states of Americaand Canada, they are now the worlds largest consumers by far of both chocolate and
coffee, consuming over half of the words total production of chocolate alone.
The Quakers
The Quakers were, and still are, a pacifist religious sect, an offshoot of the puritans ofEnglish civil war and pilgrim fathers fame and a histor y of chocolate would not becomplete without mentioning their part in it. Some of the most famous names inchocolate were Quakers, who for centuries held a virtual monopoly of chocolate makingin the English speaking world fr y, Cadbury and row tree are probably the best known.Its probably before the time of the English civil war between parliament and king Charles1st that the Quaker s who evolved from the puritans, first began their historic associationwith chocolate. Because of their pacifist religion, they were prohibited from many normal
business activities, so as an industrious people with a strong belief in the work ethic (likethe puritans), they involved themselves in food related businesses and did very well.Baking was a common occupation for them because bread was regarded as the biblicalstaff of life, and bakers in England were the first to add chocolate to cakes so it would
be a natural progression for them to start making pure chocolate. They were also heavilyinvolved in breakfast cereals but thats another story.What is certain is that the fry, row tree and Cadbury families in England among others,
began chocolate making and in fact Joseph fr y of fr y &sons (founded 1728 in Bristol,England) is credited with producing and selling the worlds first chocolate bar. Frys have
now all but disappeared (taken over by Cadbury) and row tree have merged Swisscompany nestle, to form the largest chocolate manufacturer in the world. Cadbury havestayed with chocolate production and are now, if not quite the largest, probably one of the
best- known chocolate makers in the world.

Chocolate as we know it
The first mention of chocolate being eaten in solid form is when bakers in England beganadding cocoa powder to cakes in the mid 1600s. Then in 1828 a Dutch chemist, Johannesvan houten, invented a method of extracting the bitter tasting fat or cocoa butter from
the roasted ground beans, his aim was to make the drink smoother and more palatable,however he unknowingly paved the way for solid chocolate as we know it.Chocolate as we know it today first appeared in 1847 when fr y & sons of Bristol,England mixed sugar with cocoa powder and cocoa butter (made by the van houten
process) to produce the first solid chocolate bar then in1875 a Swiss manufacturer,Daniel peters, found a way to combine (some would say improve, some would say ruin)cocoa powder and cocoa butter with sugar and dried milk powder to produce the firstmilk chocolate.

CHOCOLATE PRODUCTION
The cocoa-bean -- the heart of the sweetest delicacy in the world -- is
bitter! This is why, up to the 18th century some native tribes ate only thesweetish flesh of the cocoa fruit. They regarded the precious bean aswaste or used it, as was the case among the Aztecs, as a form of currency.
TheVarieties
There are two quite different basic classifications of cocoa, under whichpractically all varieties can be categorised: Criollo and Forastero cocoas.The pure variety of the Criollo tree is found mainly in its native Equadorand Venezuela. The seeds are of finer quality than those of the Forastero variety.
They have a particularly fine, mild aroma and are, therefore, used only in the productionof high- quality chocolate and for blending. However, Criollo cocoa accounts for only10% of the world crop. The remaining 90% is harvested from trees of the Forasterofamily, with its many hybrids and varieties. The main growing area is West Africa. Thecocoa tree can flourish only in the hottest regions of the world.
TheHarvestImmediately after harvesting, the fruit is treated to prevent it from rotting.At fermentation sites either in the plantation or at, collecting points, thefruit is opened.
Fermentation
The fermentation process is decisive in the production of high quality raw cocoa. Thetechnique varies depending on the growing region.
Drying
After fermentation, the raw cocoa still contains far too much water; in fact about 60%.Most of this has to be removed.
8/7/2019 17368896 8201172 Study of Consumer Behaviour Towards Nestle and Cadbury Choclates
24/77
What could be more natural than to spread the beans out to dr y on the sun-soaked groundor on mats? After a week or so, all but a small percentage of the water has evaporated.
Cleaning
Before the real processing begins, the raw cocoa is thoroughly cleaned by passing through sieves, and by brushing. Finally, the last vestiges ofwood, jute fibres, sand and even the finest dust are extracted by powerfulvacuum equipment.
Roasting
The subsequent roasting process is primarily designed to develop the aroma. The entireroasting process, during which the air in the nearly 10 feet high furnaces reaches a
temperature of 130 C, is carried out automatically.
Crushingandshelling
The roasted beans are now broken into medium sized pieces in the crushing machine.
Blending
Before grinding, the crushed beans are weighed and blended according to special recipes.The secret of ever y chocolate factory lies in the special mixing ratios, which it hasdeveloped for different types of cocoa.
Grinding
The crushed cocoa beans, which are still fairly coarse are now pre-ground by specialmilling equipment and then fed on to rollers where they are ground into a fine paste. Theheat generated by the resulting pressure and friction causes the cocoa butter(approximately 50% of the bean) contained in the beans to melt, producing a thick, liquidmixture.
This is dark brown in color with a characteristic, strong odour. During cooling itgradually sets: this is the cocoa paste.
8/7/2019 17368896 8201172 Study of Consumer Behaviour Towards Nestle and Cadbury Choclates
25/77
At this point the production process divides into two paths, but which soon join again. Apart of the cocoa paste is taken to large presses, which extract the cocoa butter. The otherpart passes through various blending and refining processes, during which some of thecocoa butter is added to it. The two paths have rejoined.
CocoaButter
The cocoa butter has important functions. It not only forms part of everyrecipe, but it also later gives the chocolate its fine structure, beautifullustre and delicate, attractive glaze.
Cocoa Powder
After the cocoa butter has left the press; cocoa cakes are left which still contain a 10 to20% proportion of fat depending on the intensity of compression.
These cakes are crushed again, ground to powder and finely sifted inseveral stages and we obtain a dark, strongly aromatic powder, which isexcellent for the preparation of delicious drinks - cocoa. Cocoa paste,cocoa butter, sugar and milk are the four basic ingredients for makingchocolate. By blending them in accordance with specific recipes the three types ofchocolate are obtained which form the basis of ever product assortment, namely:
Kneading
In the case of milk chocolate for example, the cocoa paste, cocoa butter, powdered orcondensed milk, sugar and flavouring - maybe vanilla - go into the mixer, where they are
pulverized and kneaded.
Rolling
Depending on the design of the rolling mills, three or five verticallymounted steel rollers rotate in opposite directions. Under heavy pressurethey pulverise the tiny particles of cocoa and sugar down to a size ofapprox. 30 microns. (One micron is a thousandth part of a millimetre.)

26/77
Conching
But still the chocolate paste is not smooth enough to satisfy our palates.But within two or three days all that will have been put right. For duringthis period the chocolate paste will be refined to such an extent in the
conches that it will flatter even the most discriminating palate.
Conches (from the Spanish word "concha", meaning a shell) is the name given to thetroughs in which 100 to 1000 kilograms of chocolate paste at a time can be heated up to80 C and, while being constantly stirred, is given a velvet smoothness by the addition ofcertain amounts of cocoa butter. A kind of aeration of the liquid chocolate paste thentakes place in the conches: its bitter taste gradually disappears and the flavor is fullydeveloped. The chocolate no longer seems sandy, but dissolves meltingly on the tongue.It has attained the outstanding purity, which gives it its reputation.

CONSUMPTION OF CHOCOLATES IN INDIA
Chocolate consumption in India is extremely low. Per capita consumption is around 160gms in the urban areas, compared to 8-10kg in the developed countries. In rural areas, it
is even lower. Chocolates in India are consumed as indulgence and not as a snack food. Astrong volume growth was witnessed in the early 90s when Cadbury repositionedchocolates from children to adult consumption. The biggest opportunity is likely to stemfrom increasing the consumer base. Leading players like Cadbury and Nestle have beenattempting to do this by value for money offerings, which are affordable to the masses.

CADBURY
How Cadbury Chocolate is made
John Cadbury
Milk chocolate for eating was first made by Cadbury in 1897 by adding milk powderJohn paste to the dark chocolate recipe of cocoa mass, cocoa butter and sugar. By today'sstandards this chocolate was not particularly good: it was coarse and dr y and not sweet or
milky enough for public tastes.
There was a great deal of competition from continental manufacturers, not only theFrench,but also the Swiss, renowned for their milk chocolate.Led by George Cadbury Junior, the Bournville experts set out to meet the challenge. Aconsiderable amount of time and money was spent on research and on new plant designedto produce the chocolate in larger quantities.
A recipe was for mulated incorporating fresh milk, and production processes weredeveloped to produce a milk chocolate 'not merely as good as, but better than' theimported milk chocolate'.
Four years of hard work were invested in the project and in 1905 whatwas to be Cadbury's top selling brand was launched.
Three names were considered: Jersey, Highland Milk and Dairy Maid.
Dair y Maid became Dairy Milk, and Cadbury's Dairy Milk, with its unique flavour andsmooth creamy texture, was ready to challenge the Swiss domination of the milkchocolate market.

By 1913 Dairy Milk had become the company's best selling line and in the mid twentiesCadbur y's Dairy Milk gained its status as the brand leader, a position it has held eversince.
COMPANY OVERVIEW OF CADBURY INDIA
Cadbur y began its operations in 1948 by importing chocolates and then re-packing thembefore distribution in the Indian market. After 59 years of existence, it today has fivecompany-owned manufacturing facilities at Thane, Induri (Pune) and Malanpur(Gwalior), Bangalore and Baddi (Himachal Pradesh) and 4 sales offices (New Delhi,Mumbai, Kolkota and Chennai).

In the Milk Food drinks segment their main product is Bournvita - the leading MaltedFood Drink (MFD) in the country. Similarly in the medicated candy category Halls is theundisputed leader.
The Cadbury India Brand Strategy has received consistent support through simple butimaginative extensions to product categories and distribution. A good example of this isthe development of Bytes. Crispy wafers filled with coca cream in the form of a baggedsnack, Bytes is positioned as "The new concept of sweet snacking". It delivers the taste ofchocolate in the form of a light snack, and thus heralds the entry of Cadbur y India intothe growing bagged Snack Market, which has been dominated until now by SaltedBagged Snack Brands.

PRODUCT RESEARCH:
8/7/2019 17368896 8201172 Study of Consumer Behaviour Towards Nestle and Cadbury Choclates
69/77
Under product research I came to know about the
modification which consumers wants as to the quality, packing, shape, color, andquantity etc of their favorite chocolate.
PRICING RESEARCH:
This includes ability to consume, to pay for the product,
how much a person can spend on his/her favorite chocolate. In this I have tried to findout consumer s price expectations and reactions.
ADVERTISING RESEARCH:
Under this I have concluded that whether the
advertisement appeals the consumers or not. This also includes evaluating andselecting the proper media-mix and measuring advertising effectiveness.
CONCLUSION
A survey of the people has been conducted to know the liking pattern of
the two products Cadbury and Nestle. It is observed that overall people like to eatCadbur y brand rather than Nestle. It is concluded that mostly people preferred
Dair y Milk of Cadbury due to its flavor/taste, quality and image and due to itshard form. Some people often like to have a chocolate with good flavor, qualityand crunchiness so they are going towards Kit Kat and Munch of Nestle due to itstaste and crunchiness.

70/77
It is thus concluded from the facts collected that mostly people refer to
buy big pack of their favorite chocolate, and sometimes some of them go forsmall and family pack.
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Company should concentrate more on television for advertisement, as mostly
people get attracted through television only.
For promotional offers, company should go for free gifts rather than going for
other ways.Nestle company should concentrate on its packing as people are least satisfied
with it while Cadbury should concentrate on the shape of a chocolate.

People are unsatisfied with the price and quantity of chocolate so companies
should concentrate in this regard also.
