In todays 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 competitors existing in the market so that we can plan our each activity
according to that. It is also necessary to retain the existing customers apart from attracting
the new customers.
the project is concerned with milk market analysis and checking the feasibility for
the PM supply of AMUL milk. The project included as part of MBA Program and the
project is done from 5th May to 30
th
June.
1.1 Title: Evaluation of feasibility for PM supply of AMUL milk
1.2 Organization:
Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF), ANAND,
Gujarat.
1.3 Objective:
The primary objective of the study was to make milk retailer aware about
the PM supply of AMUL milk, explaining them how this supply would be beneficial to
them, while doing so I had to explain them how pm supply can improve their stocking
capacity, how this will be useful to them while deciding upon the stock to be stored
according to their morning and evening sale of milk, how this supply scheme can lead to
6

8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
7/90
better utilization of electricity, how there are the possible chances of increase in their milk
sale due to this supply scheme. while doing so I also asked their general opinion about the
PM supply scheme.
The secondary objective of the study was to check whether the distribution of
the AMUL milk is on time or not and also collecting the information about retailers
refrigeration capacity, their sales breakup, presence of competitors brands in their shop,
how is the presence of other AMUL products in retailers shop.
1.4 Research Methodology:
The research type was customized and quantitative.The research was done
through retailers. I have collected the primary data through questionnaire which was filled
by retailers, customers. Questions were both open and close ended. The secondary data
was collected from the internet.
Sampling done is non probability sampling. The type of sampling method used is
cluster and area sampling.
1.5 Findings:
In Bhayendar and Mira road region AMUL milk is the market leader in packaged
milk. but there is noticeable presence of the loose milk. Other competitors in the market
are Mahananda, mother dairy, gokul, Krishna, varna etc. but AMUL has very high
penetration in the market. Awareness of AMUL milk among the consumer is very high and
acceptance is also high. The sale is totally dependent on retailers.

2.1 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. Retailing includes all the activity in selling goods or
service directly to the customers or personal non-business 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 delve into the workings from the distribution aspect of an FMCG
organization, in detail. AMUL, being an FMCG company, attaches a lot of significance to
the distribution aspect of its business. The distribution channel of AMUL holds a lot of
potential in affecting the demand or sales of AMUL 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 the retail coverage we studied the different areas in Mira road and
Bhayendar region and indentified the areas where the maximum numbers of milk retailers
are present . We collected information about morning and evening sales of milk, and asked
retailers whether they face shortage of milk in evening or not.
2.2 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.
2.3 Statement of the Problem:
Milk market analysis and feasibility research for concept of PM supply of AMUL
milk
The pm supply of AMUL milk is has been started in Gujarat and it is getting good
response over there. It has also been started in certain parts of Maharashtra. the main
purpose of the pm supply is to provide the retailer with an option of two time supply in a
day, which in turn will push the sale of AMUL milk and facilitate the deeper penetration of
11
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
12/90
the market. The main task and objective in study was to create the awareness about pm
supply of AMUL milk among the retailers and explain them the benefits of pm supply and
then seeking their response to scheme so that it can be activated in selected region.

INDUSTRY
&
COMPANY PROFILE
3.1 Industry Profile:-
13
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
14/90
3.1.1 The World Dairy Industry:
According to a report published by International Dairy Federation (IDF) on
the World Dairy Situation 2007 the worldwide milk production is expected to grow at a
slower pace in 2007-08 and is estimated at 655 million tonnes, only 9 million tonnes
more than the production of 2006 2007. The strongest growth would be in Asia, notably
in China and India. Milk production is projected at 36 million tons in China and 94.60
million tonnes in India. India would continue to be the largest milk producer, followed by
the US, with projected production of 82.60 million tonne. Major changes are not expected
in dairy products basket. World butter production increased for two years, in 2004 and
2005 and then declined in 2006-07. It is expected to decline again in 2007-08. Industrial
cheese production is continuing to grow. The major cheese producing regions are Europe
and North America and both areas are expected to have a faster growth rate. The
production of condensed and evaporated milks is subject to a declining trend for many
years in the developed market. It has been replaced by many other dairy products,
especially liquid milks of UHT type, coffee cream and coffee whitener including some of
the non-dairy origin. World trade in dairy products after a period of relative stagnation,
started recovery in the second half of 2006-07 and it continued in the first half of 2007-
08. The recovery is due to prosperity resulting from economic demand. However, the
bullish price situation is not likely to continue long and would level down. Export of
butter and butter-oil recovered in 2006-07 and this recovery continued in early 2007-08.
The total volume of the world trade in cheese has accelerated and this trend is likely to
continue in the year 2008.
14

8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
15/90
The outlook for the trade in dairy commodities for 2007-08 appears bright.
However, since the new market equilibrium, in respect of prices has to be found, the
question is whether international trade in dairy products will continue its growth in 2007-
08 at the same momentum as in previous years. Because of the price situation in 2007-08,
one may ask whether demand can follow the expected trends, but it would be premature
to expect stagnation in the trade. In established markets, the potential for demand to
reduce slightly can release the additional supplies, which are needed to maintain the
growth of trade.
3.1.2 Indian Dairy Industry:
Indias dairy sector is expected to triple its production in the next 10 years in
veiw of expanding potential for export to Europe and the West. Moreover with WTO
regulations expected to come into force in coming years all the developed countries which
are among big exporters today would have to withdraw the support and subsidy to their
domestic milk product sector. Also India today is the lowest cost producer of per litre of
milk in the world, at 27 cents, compared with the US 63 cent. 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 those 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.83, 500 crore by year 2010. This growth is going to
come from the greater emphasis on the processed food sector and also by increase in the
15
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
16/90
conversation of milk into milk products. By 2010, the value of Indian dairy produce is
expected to be Rs 10, 00,000 million. Presently the market is valued at around Rs7,
00,000mn.
3.1.3 Co Operative Unions:
Backward integration of the process led the cooperatives to advances in animal
husbandry and veterinary practice. The system succeeded mainly because it provides an
assured market at remunerative prices for producers' milk besides acting as a channel to
market the production enhancement package. What's more, it does not disturb the agro-
system of the farmers. It also enables the consumer an access to high quality milk and
milk products. Contrary to the traditional system, when the profit of the business was
cornered by the middlemen, the system ensured that the profit goes to the participants for
their socio-economic upliftment and common good.
Recently the Indian cooperative movement got a much needed facelift. With
competition snapping at its heels, the sector which has been governed by arcane laws until
the recent past will see a special provision inserted in the companies Act, 1956. All the
cooperative unions will be rechristened cooperative companies; they will come under the
purview of the registrar of companies, instead of the registrar of cooperatives.
Dairy cooperatives account for the major share of processed liquid milk marketed in
the country. Milk is processed and marketed by 170 milk producers cooperative unions,
which federate into 15 state co-operative milk marketing federations.
The dairy board's programmes and activities seek to strengthen the functioning of dairy
cooperatives, as producer-owned and controlled organizations. NDDB supports the
16
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
17/90
development of dairy co-operatives by providing them financial assistance and technical
expertise, ensuring a better future for India's farmers.
Over the years, brands created by cooperatives have become synonymous with quality
and value. Brands like AMUL (GCMMF), Vijaya (AP), Verka (Punjab), Saras
(Rajasthan). Nandini (Karnataka), Milma (Kerala) and Gokul (Kolhapur) are among those
that have earned customer confidence.
-:Some of the major dairy cooperative federations include:-
Andhra Pradesh Dairy Development Co-operative Federation Ltd (APDDCF)
Bihar State Co-operative Milk Producers Federation Ltd (COMPFED)
Gujarat co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Ltd (GCMMF)
Haryana Dairy Development Cooperative Federation Ltd. (HDDCF)

3.1.4 The Dairy Cooperative Network
Includes 170 milk unions
Operates in over 338 districts
Covers nearly 1,08574 village level societies
Is owned by nearly 12 million farmer members.
Apart from making India self sufficient in milk, these dairy co-operatives have
established our country as the largest milk-producing nation in the world.
3.2 The Organization:
3.2.1 Introduction & History:
18

8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
19/90
In the year 1946 the first milk union was established. This union was started with
250 liters of milk per day. In the year 1955 AMUL was established. In the year 1946 the
union was known as KAIRA DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS
UNION. This union selected the brand name AMUL in 1955. The brand name AMUL
means AMULYA. This word derived form the Sanskrit word AMULYA which
means PRICELESS. A quality control expert in Anand had suggested the brand name
AMUL. AMUL products have been in use in millions of homes since 1946. AMUL
Butter, AMUL Milk Powder, AMUL Ghee, AMULspray, AMUL Cheese, AMUL
Chocolates AMUL Shrikhand, AMUL Ice cream, NutrAMUL, AMUL Milk and
AMULya have made AMUL a leading food brand in India. (The total sale is Rs. 6 billion
in 2005). Today AMUL is a symbol of many things like of the high-quality products sold
at reasonable prices, of the genesis of a vast co-operative network, of the triumph of
indigenous technology, of the marketing savvy of a farmers' organization. And have a
proven model for dairy development (Generally known as ANAND PATTERN). In the
early 40s, the main sources of earning for the farmers of Kaira district were farming and
selling of milk. That time there was high demand for milk in Bombay. The main supplier
of the milk was Polson dairy limited, which was a privately owned company and held
monopoly over the supply of milk at Bombay from the Kaira district. This system leads to
exploitation of poor and illiterates farmers by the private traders. The traders used to
beside the prices of milk and the farmers were forced to accept it without uttering a single
word. However, when the exploitation became intolerable, the farmers were frustrated.
They collectively appealed to Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who was a leading activist in the
freedom movement. Sardar Patel advised the farmers to sell the milk on their own by
19
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
20/90
establishing a cooperative union, Instead of supplying milk to private traders. Sardar Patel
sent the farmers to Shri Morarji Desai in order to gain his co-operation and help. Shri
Desai held a meeting at Samarkha village near Anand, on 4th January 1946. He advised
the farmers to form a society for collection of the milk.
These village societies would collect the milk themselves and would decide the prices at
which they can sell the milk. The district union was also form to collect the milk fromsuch village co-operative societies and to sell them. It was also resolved that the
Government should be asked to buy milk from the union. However, the govt. did not
seem to help farmers by any means. It gave the negative response by turning down the
demand for the milk. To respond to this action of govt., the farmers of Kaira district went
on a milk strike. For 15 whole days not a single drop of milk was sold to the traders. As a
result the Bombay milk scheme was severely affected. The milk commissioner of
Bombay then visited ANAND to assess the situation. Having seemed the condition, he
decided to fulfill the farmers demand. 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
Cooperative 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.
20

8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
21/90
At the initial stage only 250 liters of milk was collected every day. But with the
growing awareness of the benefits of the cooperativeness, the collection of milk
increased. Today AMUL collect 11 lakhs liters of milk every day. Since milk was a
perishable commodity it becomes difficult to preserve milk for a longer period. Besides
when the milk was to be collected from the far places, there was a fear of spoiling of milk.
To overcome this problem the union thought out to develop the chilling unit at various
junctions, which would collect the milk and could chill it, so as to preserve it for a longer
period. Thus, today AMUL has more than 150 chilling centers in various villages. Milk is
collected from almost 1073 societies. With the financial help from UNICEF, assistance
from the govt. of New Zealand under the Colombo plan, of Rs. 50 millions for factory to
manufacture milk powder and butter was planned. Dr.Rajendra Prasad, the president of
India laid the foundation on November 15, 1954. Shri Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, the prime
minister of India declared it open at AMUL dairy on November 20, 1955.

3.2.2 AMULs Secret of Success:
The system succeeded mainly because it provides an assured market at remunerative
prices for producers' milk besides acting as a channel to market the production
enhancement package. What's more, it does not disturb the agro-system of the farmers. It
also enables the consumer an access to high quality milk and milk products. Contrary to
the traditional system, when the profit of the business was cornered by the middlemen, the
system ensured that the profit goes to the participants for their socio-economic upliftment
and common good. Looking back on the path traversed by AMUL, the following features
make it a pattern and model for emulation elsewhere.
AMUL has been able to:
Produce an appropriate blend of the policy makers farmers board of management
and the professionals: each group appreciating its rotes and limitations.
22
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
23/90
Bring at the command of the rural milk producers the best of the technology and
harness its fruit for betterment.
Provide a support system to the milk producers without disturbing their agro-
economic systems.
Plough back the profits, by prudent use of men, material and machines, in the
rural sector for the common good and betterment of the member producers.
Even though, growing with time and on scale, it has remained with the smallest
producer members. In that sense, AMUL is an example par excellence, of an
intervention for rural change.
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 AMUL (ANAND
milk union ltd.) is based on four hands, which are coordinated with each other. The actual
meaning of this symbol is co-ordination of four hands of different people by whom this
union is at the top position in Asia.

Internal Organization Structure
External Organization Structure:
External Organization Structure is the organization structure that affects the organization
from the outside.
As we know, GCMMF is unit of Gujarat Milk Marketing Federation, which is a co-
operative organization. The villagers of more than 10000 villages of Gujarat are the bases
of this structure. They all make village milk producers union, district level milk producers
union and then a state level marketing federation is established. The structure is line

3.2.7 OPERATION ANALYSIS:
AMULS only source of raw material is Village Milk societies. Milk is brought from such
village milk societies every morning and evening. This milk is then sent to the dairy plant.
In the dairy plant the milk is processed i.e. it is made free from germs.
Milk Processing:
The entire process of milk can be divided into following steps:
3.2.8 DISTRIBUTION NETWORK:
Consumers expect marketers to deliver products in the locations and forms they
require. To meet expectations of such demanding consumers, alignments of our
30
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
31/90
four Distribution Highways of Fresh, Chilled, Frozen and Ambient products were
already made by introducing Project DIL. Subsequently, a major initiative was
taken to enhance distribution network to smaller towns. About 1200 distributors in
small towns across India were added during this initiative. Today about 3000
Distributors ensure availability of our products across India, whether it is in Leh or
Lakshadweep, in Kutch or Arunachal. Simultaneously, to augment fresh milk
distribution in various markets of India, approximately 1400 exclusive Milk
Distributors have been inducted.
31

8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
32/90
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 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 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 program in 39 locations. Cold Storage is an
extremely essential component in the Federations 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 Federations own
cold stores this year in various locations across the country. We now own 24 state
of- the art cold rooms of different sizes.

To get an exposure to our cooperative structure, our culture as well as operational
systems and processes, every year we invite our distributors, major retailers and
other business partners to ANAND, for AMUL Yatra. So far, about 7000
Distributors and other business partners have participated in this AMUL Yatra.
Over recent years, the Federation has successfully introduced new product lines.
This year, in order to leverage their distribution network strengths, to optimize
market supervision expenditures, to achieve increasing efficiency while keeping
the distribution infrastructure lean, focused and productive, the Federation
amalgamated its different distribution networks. Today, they operate an efficient
distribution infrastructure consisting of 46 sales offices, catering to 3,000
distributors and five lac retailers. Almost every Federation stockist has visited
Anand to participate in a unique program called ' AMUL Yatra'. During this
program, stockiest are exposed to the Federation Philosophy, the culture of
Cooperation, as well as operational Systems and Processes. The Federation has
also invited distributor's salesmen from all over the country to ANAND for a
training program focused on the Federation's philosophy and developing their
selling skills.

3.2.9 competitive advantage:
AMUL has Competitive sustainable advantage (CSA) over its competitors.
AMULS
CSA lies in its procurement part ,the ability to collect 447,000 liters of milk every
day from 2.12 million farmers ,convert them into goods worth Rs 6 crore and
distribute them to 5,00,000 retailers across country ,is not easy. No other dairy in
India has such a sustainable procurement network.
Managing the large scale supply chain of AMUL which begins from milk producer
and ends with supply to customer from retailer is very critical job. It requires lot of
dedication and hard work from all members of the corporation and also distributors
and retailers across country.
The key to retaining their competitive advantage lies in keeping focused on the
basic business principles:
Be Customer-Driven
Adapt quickly to the changing environment.
Anticipate change and act today to meet tomorrow's challenges.
The Federation has invested substantially over the last few years in improving
the quality of its products and services, keeping in mind the emerging challenges of
globalization. In recognition of its achievements in Quality Management
Initiatives.
Their core business is marketing branded food products to household

consumers. Their success has been grounded in two strengths :-
o Distribution network, serving more than five lac retail outlets.
o Superior product quality - 'Value for money'
The key to maintaining these two competitive advantages rests on their ability to
attract and retain the very best manpower. In this age of intensive competition, only
dedicated and committed professionals can successfully manage their business.
3.2.10 AMUL'S Umbrella Branding:
An umbrella brand is a brand that covers diverse kinds of products which are more
or less related. It applies also to any company that is identified only by its brand
and history. It is contrasted with individual branding in which each production a
portfolio is given a unique identity and brand name.
AMUL has high brand equity and umbrella branding of AMUL has helped the
company in bigger sense. AMULSS brand name has helped its other brands also
like Mitahi made, AMUL Ice creams, chocolates, AMUL Kool etc. So umbrella
Brand, AMUL is used to build and offer value to customers in bigger sense. In
literal sense, a company has high brand equity if it has multi dimensions. AMUL
has explored various available opportunities to reach to mass customers. It has
opened a community on public forums like orkut, sponsored events like AMUL
voice of India etc. The brand value of AMUL will surely help company to maintain
the status of largest food brand in India at least for sometime in future.

AMULs strategy of using umbrella branding has really paid off. AMULs
advertising and marketing spend has never exceeded 1% of its revenues.
AMULs creativesin the form of billboards or the Taste of India campaign
have always managed to evoke a larger-than-life brand feel, consistency and spirit
of Indian culture in a contemporary way.

73/90
OBSERVATIONS & FINDINGS:
AMUL milk has leadership position in both mira road and bhayender market.
Majority of the retailers stock AMUL milks
Most of the retailers sell AMUL milk at prize which is higher than MRP than
Rs.1. the reason behind this is that retailers complain that the margin they are
getting from company is very less so in order to cover their other
overheads(cooling expenses, labor charge etc.) they have to charge higher.
Most of the retailers say that they dont get any kind of scheme from company, if
company provides any scheme, distributer take advantage of such schemes.
In Mira road area I have observed in some places distributer supplies stock to
retailers at the prize of RS.24.50 which according to company rule should have
been Rs.24.25.
Retailers stock milk in morning according to their demand for whole day, and in
case if they face shortage they purchase additional stock from distributors outlet
or other wholesaler.
73
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
74/90
Retailers have to register their stock order at retailers before evening which is little
bit inconvenient for them, if they get the option of registering stock order in
night ,there may be the possible chances of increased in the volume.
As retailer dont get much margin by selling AMUL milk, most of the time if there
is shortage of AMUL milk and if customer comes they often sales them other
brands in order to clear the stock of other milk brands. in such a case if customer
develops a taste for other brands ,it could result in decrease in demand.
Mother dairy has noticeable presence in mira road region and it offers many
scheme to penetrate the market. It also provides the option of replacement of
milk to retailers.
Loose milk is also popular in Bhayendar region.
Morning distribution of AMUL milk is very efficient and on time.
AMUL milk has high awareness and high popularity in consumers and it is mainly
because of its taste and it doesnt get spoiled very soon.
74
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
75/90
one thing I noticed that, most of the retailers like general store owner, bakery
owner who has low refrigeration capacity are excited about PM supply scheme
and they are ready to take stock during pm supply, but on the other hand they are
also doubtful that if supply would be on time or not, their main fear is that if
they cut down their morning time stock by relying on PM supply and if supply
doesnt come then they might lose business.
Those who are not ready for PM supply as of now are waiting for its get started and
depending on supply efficiency they will start taking it slowly.
There is definite chance of growth in sales in both region if PM supply gets started.
Among all AMUL dairy products AMUL butter,AMUL cheese,AMUL buttermilk,
AMUL masti curd has higher market penetration, but most of the retailer
complains that frequency of supply should be increased.
AMUL ice-cream has very poor market share in both Mira road and bhayendar
region, ice cream market is dominated by quality walls, many domestic players
I had observed many retailers are interested in kepping AMUL Ice-cream,but they
complains that distribution is poor.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY
The survey is limited only bhayendar(west),bhayendar(east) and Mira road region.
Time period of the project was 8 weeks, which may not be enough to understand
the whole market.
Convenient sampling was used as the mode of conducting the research.
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.
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.
76
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
77/90
Respondents may not have been true in answering various questions and may be
biased to certain other questions.
The questionnaire mostly contained multiple choice questions, therefore many
respondents did not give a proper thought before up the questions, and some even
ticked things, which were not applicable. Therefore, all this increased the bias.
The sample size of Retailers / Wholesalers was very small and therefore response
from them does not reflect the exact view because they may to biased.

8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
79/90
CONCLUSIONS:
AMUL milk has very dominating position in milk market as compare to other
competitors.
AMUL milk has trustable brand image in consumers.
Retailers are happy about the quality and the supply of AMUL milk but they are
not happy with the margins they get from company.
Many retailers are interested in stocking AMUL Ice-cream.
The response for pm supply of milk is mixed, most of the retailers who refused for
pm supply is because of fear that if they cut down their morning supply of one
distributor and accepts the pm supply from other distributor, this can harm their
healthy relationship with morning time distributor and this may results into
irregularity of supply.
79
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
80/90
Morning time distributors are against this scheme main reason behind this are
They cant supply milk two times in a day as it would be exhausting
for them and also results into increased expenses of labor and
transportations.
And if other distributor starts PM supply in their supply ,then morning
demand of milk from retailer will reduced to some extent and this will
results into loss of business for them.
Before starting PM Supply Company must take distributors into confidence.
Mother dairy is aggressively trying to penetrate into these two markets by
providing various schemes and replacement options to retailers.
If PM supply of milk is implemented efficiently and without hurting anyones
business interest then it will definitely results into the increase in sale of AMUL
milk.
Most of the consumers are buying AMUL taza milk only, very few consumer buys
AMUL gold.
80
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
81/90
Apart from AMUL butter and cheese, the supply of other AMULS dairy products
is not much satisfactory
SUGGESTIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS:
The Milk products market has reached Maturity stage in India large no. of Co-operatives
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 follows:
While starting PM supply existing distributors must be taken into
confidence this is because AMUL milks distribution is dependent on efficient
network of its networks if it fidgets with their interest then this may result
into the Mismanagement of supply.
Provide reasonable Margin to retailers as compared to competitors, this motivates
them to promote companys milk and milk products.
81
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan
82/90
If not margin then company must come up with some promotional offers and
schemes for retailers.
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 must monitor the supply of milk from distributor so that they will not
charge extra from retailers against the prize set by company.
Improve delivery schedule to provide products on time for the retailers about who
claimed that AMUL Dairy products and ice-cream is not available to them on time.
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.
Try to minimize bank deposits for APO, which help to retailer think to start.
Company should take care of retailers by solving their problems and should call
back by appointing separate company representatives.
82
-
8/2/2019 Amul Report Final_chetan

Timely visit should be given to the retail shops.
company must promote their other milk brand ssuch as AMUL gold,AMUL cow
milk, AMUL toned milk so that it will create awareness in customers about these
products, as of now AMUL taza has the highest awareness in consumers
