PREFACE

The project presented here gives a detailed analysis of Retailer penetration of AMUL pouch

milk in Kanpur market and the content being provided in terms of services to the customers.

Milk is a most perishable item and demand of that product is increase day by day so company

has to provide most frequently supply to the consumer.

I came to know about how to penetrate the product in the market threw the distribution

channels. in this process I had identify that what is the actual demand of the product and

what is the actual supply of that product in the market and what will be the effect if

1. SUPPLY(S) < DEMAND(Y)


2. SUPPLY(S) > DEMAND(Y)

COMPNAY HISTORY

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 40’s, 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

55
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

establishing a co-operative 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 from such

55
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 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

55
At the initial stage only 250 liters of milk was collected everyday. But with the

growing awareness of the benefits of the cooperativeness, the collection of milk increased.

Today Amul collect 11 lakhs liters of milk everyday. Since milk was a perishable

commodity it becomes difficult to preserve milk flora 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.

55
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.

PEOPLE POWER: AMUL'S 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.

55
Amul (G.C.M.M.F.) 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,

• 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 and

• 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.

OPERATION FLOOD

The transition of the Indian milk industry from a situation of net import to

that of surplus has been led by the efforts of National Dairy Development

Board’s Operation Flood. Programmed under the aegis of the former

Chairman of the board Dr.V.Kurian.

Launched in 1970, Operation Flood has led to the modernization of India’s

dairy sector and created a strong network for procurement processing and

distribution of milk by the co-operative sector.

Per capita availability of milk has increased from 132 gm per day in 1950 to

over 220 gm per day in 1998.

The main thrust of Operation Flood was to organize dairy co-operative in the

milk shed areas of the village, and to link them to the four Metro cities,

which are the main markets for milk. The efforts undertaken by NDDB have

not only led to enhance.

Production, improvement in methods of processing and developing of a

strong marketing network, but have also led to the emergence of dairying as

an important source of employment and income generation in the rural areas.

It has also led to an improvement in yields, longer lactation periods,

shorter calving intervals, etc through the use of modern breeding techniques.

Establishment of milk collection centers and chilling centers has enhanced

life of raw milk and enabled minimization of wastage due to spoilage of milk.

55
Operation Flood has been one of the world’s largest dairy developments

programmed and looking at the success achieved in India by adopting the co-

operative route, a few other countries have also replicated the model of

India’s White Revolution.

time, attempting to control all factors relevant to the problem. The main assumption here is

that the test conditions are essentially the same as those that will be encountered later when

conclusions derived from the experiment are applied to a broader marketing area.

55

RESEARCH DESIGN

1. RESEARCH PROBLEM

 Increase the awareness level of AMUL .

 Seek the general perception of retailer towards AMUL MILK.

 To find the performance of AMUL MILK vis-à-vis other Brands.

 To know the retailer psychology and their behaviour towards AMUL

MILK.

2. RESEARCH OBJECTIVES & RELATED SUB OBJECTIVES

 To know the relationship of sales with the retailer.

 To know awareness of people towards Amul milk.

 To know in which area of segment Amul milk are mostly like/preferred.

 To know which area is not responding the Amul sale up to the mark.

 To know the preference of Amul milk with comparison to

Other competitive brands.

 To know the factors which affects buyer’s buying behaviour

to purchase milk.

55
INFORMATION REQUIREMENT

 First, I had to know about all the competitors present in the Amul milk

Segment (Reputed and well established brands as well as Local brands).

 Before going for the survey I had to know the comparative packs and

Prices of all the competitors existing in the market.

 Since milk is a product that basic need of every people and family. It is

most perishable item in FMCG .So know about the basic information

regarding to milk. Hence I had to trace the market and segment it,

which mainly deals with various type of retailer which may be big or

small.

 As milk is different product, the main information needed is the

various types of milk available in the market, their calorific value and

various other facts. They can be termed as :

4. CHOICE OF RESEARCH DESIGN – ALTERNATIVES & CHOICE

Despite the difficulty of establishing an entirely satisfactory classification system, it is helpful

to classify marketing research on the basis of the fundamental objectives of the research.

Consideration of the different types, their applicability, their strengths, and their weakness

will help the student to select the type best suited to a specific problem.

55
The two general types of research are:

EXPLORATORY RESEARCH

Exploratory research seeks to discover new relationship, emphasis on discovery of ideas.

Marketing researches devote a significant portion of their work on exploratory studies when

very little is known about the problem being examined.

CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH

Conclusive studies attempts to determine the frequency with which something occurs or the

relationship between two phenomenons. Usually conclusive studies assume certain under

underlying characteristics of the market or have some precise statement of research

questions/hypothesis.

5. RESEARCH INSTRUMENT USED - DETAILS & WHY?

If one wants to know what type of dentifrice people use, what they think of, television

commercials, or why they buy particular brands of cars, the natural procedure is to ask them.

Thus, the questionnaire method has come to be the more widely used of the two data

collection method. Many consumers are now familiar with the telephone caller who greets

them with “We are making a survey”, and then proceeds to ask a series of questions. Some

interviews are conducted in person, others by telephone, and others by mail. Each of these

has its special advantages and disadvantages and limitations. The questionnaire method in

general, however, has a number of pervasive advantages and disadvantages. Discussion of

particular variations will be more meaningful if these characteristics of the general methods

are brought out first.

55
A questionnaire consists of list of questions to be asked from the respondents and the space

provided to record the answer / responses. Questionnaire can be used for the personal

interviews, focus groups, mails and telephonic interviews. The choice among these

alternatives is largely determined by the type of information to be obtained and by the type of

respondents from whom it is to be obtained.

The common factor in all varieties of the questionnaire method is this reliance on verbal

responses to question, written or oral.

Questionnaire in the project consists of:

 Multiple choice questions

 Dicthomus

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTIONS:

Questions of this type offer the respondents an alternative to choose the right answer among

others. It is faster, time saving and less biased. It also simplifies the tabulating process.

OPEN END QUESTIONS:

In this type respondents are free to answer in their own words and express the ideas they

think are relevant, such questions are good as first questions or opening questions. They

introduce the subject and obtain general reaction.

55
DICTHOMUS:

These are the questions which are Boolean in nature. These answers are straightforward and

respondents have to answer them in a straight way. That means the answer can only be either

‘Yes” or ‘No’.

6. SAMPLING TECHNIQUE USED & SAMPLE SIZE - WHY?

Sample design is a definite plan of obtaining some items from the whole population. The

sample design used in this project is two state sampling i.e. Cluster and convenience. In the

probability sampling methods, each items in the sample is chosen one at a time from a

complete list of universe elements. In marketing research practice, it will sometimes be more

expedient to select clusters or groups of universe elements, rather than to choose sample

items individually.

Sampling methods in which universe elements are chosen in groups ---- rather than

individually -- are called cluster-sampling methods. They are widely used in the sampling of

human populations. When no complete universe listing exists, a type of sampling is called

area sampling may be the only practically feasible form of probability sampling.

55
METHODLOGY

SAMPLING METHODS

Sample design is a definite plan of obtaining some items from the whole population. The

sample design used in this project is whole Kanpur (U.P) sampling i.e. cluster sampling and

convenience sampling. The whole city was divided into some geographical areas like

• East Kanpur.

• West Kanpur

• North Kanpur.

• South Kanpur

and I have chosen Kidwai Nagar and Keshav Nagar . The total sample size was 100.

CLUSTER SAMPLING

Here the whole area is divided into some geographical area and a definite number of retailers

were to be surveyed.

CONVINIENCE SAMPLING

This type of sampling is chosen purely on the basis of convenience and according to

convenience. I visited that are which is situated in main market and there I got easily

maximum number of retail outlets. Kidwai Nagar etc.

55
SAMPLING

1. Sampling Technique :Non probability sampling

(A non probability samplitechniqis

that in which each element inthe

Population does not have a equal

chance of getting selected)

2. Sample Unit : Retailer who sold the pouch milk

in retail outlets, superstores, etc

3. Sample size : 100 respondents (South Kanpur)

4.Direct interview through : Questionnaire.

5. Data analysis method : Graphical method.

6. Area of Sample : Kidwai Nagar & Keshav Nagar.

7. Timing of survey : 6:00 am to 10:00 am

8. Reported time in office : 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm

55
FIELD WORK-METHOD USED FOR DATA COLLECTION

• Questionnaire was prepared keeping the objective of research in mind.

• Questions were asked to respondents as regards to there willingness to purchase

Chocolates.

• The help of questionnaires conducted direct interviews, in order to get accurate

information.

• Collect the information threw the DMR(Daily Market Report)

• In order to get correct information I had to approach retailer in entire Kanpur.

1. East Kanpur.

2. West Kanpur.

3. South Kanpur.

4. North Kanpur.

• I visited as many respondents as I can and asked them their real likings and disliking

about any milk and also got an idea, what’s the retailer wants to the company and

how a milk market should be?

• It is really a Herculean task to understand Retailer behavior.

• People were not willing to answer, when they were contacted between 11:00 am to

8:00 pm, the time when most of the people have not open the shop in early morning.

CONCLUSION

As we know that Amul (G.C.M.M.F.) is very big organization and market leader

in dairy products. It has maximum market share in Milk, Butter and Cheese, which are its

main/core products. As we know Amul is a co-operative organisaion but milk industry is a

profitable industry we can’t ignore it. With the help of research, company can find out its

week points in milk segment and can increase its market share through rectify mistakes.

People have believed in Amul’s product and they will accept its fresh milk also if effective

actions were taken.

The survey resulted into following conclusions :

 Amul must come up with new promotional activities such that people become more

aware about Amul milk .

 In comparison to Amul milk, the other players such as Parag, and Verifresh provide

a better availability and give competition to the hilt due to local brand .

 People are mostly satisfied with the overall quality of Amul milk, but for the

existence in the local market Amul must use aggressive selling techniques

55
LIMITATIONS

 Limited time available for interviewing the respondents. As a result of this it was not

possible to gather full information about the respondents.

 When I interviewed children, old-women and old man they are not able give answers

according to the questionnaire due to absence of main retailer.

 As summer training is going under summer season so sometimes people are less

interested in filling up questionnaire.

 Sometimes the problem which I face is Non-cooperative approach rude behavior of

retailer about the ADA and company problem for which I have to make them

understand.

55
 If the respondents answer does not falls between amongst the options given then it

will turn up to be a biased answer.

55
RECOMMENDATION

 In order to maintain and increase the sales in the city of Kanpur, the following

recommendations regarding Amul milk; particularly regarding advertisement,

distribution, promotional policies, etc, are hereby suggested:

 Amul should provide the ice box for those retailer they don’t have fridge but they

have good demand of milk , due to ice box there sale is less

 First and foremost Amul should take proper action in order to improve the service of

distribution networks therefore retailer get the supply on time(not before the time and

not after the time).

 Though Amul milk advertisements are rarely shown on television yet many people

could recall it as per the data of research. It shows that there is only need to give

advertisement only to rememorize customers. Because Amul has very strong brand

name.

 Company should work in the packaging of milk therefore short out the leakage

problem.

55
 Company should provide only 10 lit/crate milk therefore short out the leakage

problem.

 Company should reduce Rs1.00 in 1 Lit packaging therefore consumer will purchase

the 1lit milk pack in comparison to competitor brand.
