Executive Summary

India, with its status as the largest milk producer in the world, is on the verge of assuming as
important position in the global dairy industry. Many international dairy companies are
viewing India with an eye to tapping its vast, growing market for dairy products. Similarly,
many Indian dairy companies are now trying to acquire international scale, and would like to
tap other markets.

Indian Dairy Industry is dominated by cooperative sectors for so many years. Indian dairying
is emerging as a sunrise industry. India represents one of the world's largest and fastest
growing markets for milk and milk products. Dairy industry occupies a prominent position in
the industrial structure of India. Dairy industry has very rapidly infrastructure facilities due to
which severe bottlenecks have been created in the way of rapid industrialization. Dairy
industry occupies important place in Indian economy. The rate of growth of this industry was
around 1% only. It has gone up 4.2% later on cows and buffaloes are important animals
for producing milk.

The organised dairy industry in India is estimated at INR 145 bn(USD 3 bn) and is expected
to witness a CAGR of over 13% over the next 4 years, to reach a size of INR 240 bn (USD 5
bn) by 2005.

India offers several attractive features to players interested in coming to the country.

- Free regulatory regime, providing equal opportunities for domestic as well as foreign
players.
- Huge scope for growth – Organised industry accounts for less than 20% of the milk
produced in India.
- Large growth expected in consumption of packed dairy products due to several
demographic factors, including increased affordability, increased no. of nuclear families
and working women, and rising exposure to Western diary products, as well as packed
dairy products such as yoghurts and UHT milk.
- The emergence of organised food retail chains has led to greater availability of shelf
space for chilled/frozen dairy products, which is expected to boost growth in sales of

“Amul – The Taste of India” 4


packed dairy products. Organised food retail in India is expected to grow from USD 230
mn to USD 2.3 bn by 2006.

Some of the major international dairy companies, which have already established operations
in India, include Nestle, Unilever (through HLL), Danone (through Britannia) and Nutricia.
Britannia has recently entered into an alliance with Fonterra for accessing technology and
providing market access to Fonterra. The Britannia-Fonterra alliance has heightened other
Indian companies’ need for securing international partnerships in order to remain
competitive.

GCMMF was the first co-operative to be set up under operation flood in the year 1973. It
is an apex marketing federation of 12 district milk unions of Gujarat. It has most modern and
largest plant which can handle up to 6.7 million litre of milk per day. GCMMF sold its all
dairy products under the brand name of “AMUL”.

GCMMF has become very popular because of its excellence marketing strategy. GCMMF
marketing strategy is to understand the consumer needs, develop products that provide
superior value at fewer prices. This type of marketing has made GCMMF on of the leading
dairy in India. GCMMF has shown a tremendous commitment to the flood water situations.
GCMMF has never stopped the supply of milk and other milk products. And unlike other
competitors, it has never taken wrong benefits in these kinds of situations. All these have
made Mother Dairy No. 1 dairy in Gujarat and in India. GCMMF has developed an excellent
distribution channel to provide its products to the consumers. It has made its products in each
part of Gujarat & India.

GCMMF is the largest player. All other local dairy cooperatives have their local brands e.g.
Warana in Maharastra, Saras in Rajasthan, Vijaya in A.P etc. other private players include J
K Dairy, Heritage Foods, Indian Dairy etc.

The industry, which is co-operatives and milk is produce by different dairy and is marketed by regionally like
Sumul milk, Sabar milk, Sughsagar milk etc but other milks products like ice-crème, cheese, ghee, butter etc is
marketed by under the brand name “AMUL”.

The Indian market is dominated by a large number of small local manufacturer and regional
players. There are an estimated 150 manufacturers in the organized segment which accounts
for 30-35% of sales and about 1000 units in the unorganized segments of the market. In the

“Amul – The Taste of India” 5


organized segment the significant brands are Kwality Walls, Vadilal, Amul, Mother dairy and
Baking Robbins. There is intense competition in ice-crème with player like Havemor,
Vadilal, Quality Walls, Gokul etc, in milk like Payal, Gayatri, and Sardar etc. in Ghee like
Krishna, Abad, and Gopi etc.

The project highlights the functional area of GCMMF with a prime focus on marketing. By

ABOUT DAIRY INDUSTRY

Introduction Of Dairy Industry


An industry whereby milk and milk products are handled are known as Dairy
Industry. Dairy Industry includes all the firms dealing with the processing of milk and
manufacturing of milk products and their marketing in industrial scale. Dairy Industry is a
very important and the basic industry for country like India. Nearly 70% of the people in
India is based on agriculture and most of them have cattle's (cows and buffaloes) in their
houses. Indian Dairy Industry is dominated by cooperative sectors for so many years. Indian
dairying is emerging as a sunrise industry. India represents one of the world's largest and
fastest growing markets for milk and milk products. World focus on India for this industry
are because of low cost economy, liberalisation process, low inflation rate, inexpensive
labour, largest democracy, no government interference, etc.

Dairy industry occupies a prominent position in the industrial structure of India. Dairy
industry has very rapidly infrastructure facilities due to which severe bottlenecks have been
created in the way of rapid industrialisation. Milk consumption in India has much less than
the developed countries. Dairy industry occupies important place in Indian economy. It is one
of the consumer goods industries. Its products is more useful items in popular diet, large
proportion of Indian population is vegetarian, therefore for milk and milk products assume
importance and only source of animal fat in their diet and importance source of animal
protein.

On the peasant milk producers of Khaira district, Gujarat the NDDB (National Dairy
Development Board) was set up under the chairmanship of Dr. Verghese Kuriene in 1970
under the programme, the Anand Dairy of Khaira was developed first. Khaira is one of the
India's flushest milk tracts and is distinguished by a famous dairy procurement, processing
and marketing co-operative established at Anand in 1946.

India has a long tradition of keeping milk animals as a part of the farming household.
Animals are cared for highly rated milk and milk products are also greatly valued in the
society as a source of good nutrition. Cow is considered to be a sacred animal since time
immemorial. Milk is used in most of the rituals. Milk production and consumption is always
been a part of Indian culture.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 12


Industrial sector has played a crucial role in the development of Indian economy.
Industrialisation holds the embryo of employment and fuller utilisation of resources.
After 53 years of independence India has come a long way an her journey towards the goal of
industrialisation and has become self-sufficient in respect of the consumer goods. Dairy
industry a prominent position in the industrial structure of India. Dairy industry has very
rapidly infrastructure facilities due to which severe bottlenecks have been created in the way
of rapid industrialisation.

Milk is complete a food. Though widely used per capita milk consumption in India was much
less than the developed countries the dairymen were also not developed on commercial lines.
In 1965, in order to support the farm economy by developing dairy sector on the request by
peasant milk producers of Khaira district, Gujarat the NDDB (National Dairy Development
Board) was set up under the chairmanship of Dr. Verghese Kuriene.

During 1960s, the European countries were facing over production of milk, converted into
dried skimmed milk and butter oil for which there was no adequate commercial outlet. In the
latter part of 1960s the EEC (European Economic Community offered some part of these
stocks as a donation to India through, the aid channels of the WFP (World Food Programme).
The aid was to be handled by NDDB reasoned to sell those commodities within India rather
than to distribute them as relief, which could be realised for twin purpose of enhancing milk
production in India and establishing a national dairy marketing grid. To handle the financial
aspects of such a programme the IDC (Indian Dairy Corporation) was set up by NDDB in
1970, the programme 'Operation Flood' or the 'White Revolution' as it is popularly known
was launched. The programme was mainly to restructure India's diary industry on the lines of
advanced dairying countries in order to enhance productivity and efficiency, while at the
same time directing income benefits towards the rural poor. Under the programme, the Anand
Dairy of Khaira was developed first. Khaira is one of the India's flushest milk tracts and is
distinguished by a famous dairy procurement, processing and marketing co-operative
established at Anand in 1946.

In 1965, “The National Dairy Development Board” came to existence & as a result
India at pioneers in dairy development.

milk plants and 60 pilot milk societies. There were 26 product factories and 3 cream
industries, 51 dairy projects were in different stage of implementation. In 1984-85 the
number of dairy plants went up to 138. By March 1996 there were 72500 dairy co-operative
in 1170 milk shades 9.2 million farmers were participated in those societies.

* U.P. is to be largest producer of milk in India followed by Punjab, Bihar, A.P. and
Rajasthan sharing 34% of the national production.

* Bulk of milk production is in rural areas. In urban areas there are only 4% of milk cows
and in the cities and town milk buffaloes are about 61%.

* The rate of growth of this industry was around 1% only. It has gone up 4.2% later on
cows and buffaloes are important animals for producing milk. 53% of milk is provided
by buffaloes, 33% of milk is provided by cows. Government milk is used in some parts of
the country.

Growth & Development Of Amul

In beginning there were just a few farmers supplying about 250 litters of milk a day. Soon the
number increased to 400 farmers and quantity of milk handled rise to 5000 litters a day.

Milk yield is higher in winter and in winter, the Bombay milk scheme could not absorb the
extra milk offered. the farmers were forced to sell the surplus milk to traders at very low
rates. This leads to the decision to set up a plant to process the surplus milk into butter and
milk powder.

With financial help from UNICEF, assistance from the government of New Zealand under
the columbo plan & technical assistance provided by FAD, Rs. 5 million factories to
manufacture milk powder & butter was planned.

In 1958, the plant was expanded to manufacture sweetened condensed milk. Two years later
Shri Morarji Desai by then the finance minister, inaugurated a new wing designed to produce
600 tones of cheese and 2500 tones of baby food was processed from buffalo milk on a large,
commercial scale.

A plant to produce balanced cattle food, donated by DXFAM was formally commissioned on
October 31, 1964 by Lal Bahadur Shastri, then the PM of India.

At the request of the government of India in 1963, a new dairy with a capacity of 40 tones of
milk powder and 20 tones of butter a day was speedily completed. This was meant to meet
the requirement of India’s defence forces. The dairy was declared open by Morarji Desai in
April 1965. By now the dairy complex could hand 500000 liters of milk a day.

The capacity was raised to 350000 liters a day in 1974. The same year the Kaira union set up
a plant to produce high protein weaving food, chocolate & malted food at Mogar about 8 km,
south of Anand.

In September 1981, the cattle field plant at Kanjari, was started. The successful completion of
the co-generation project on September 11, 1985 marked a new milestone on the energy front

“Amul – The Taste of India” 18


when two gas turbines generation of 1.5 M.W, each based on natural gas were commissioned
Kaira up a bread spread plant at Mogar with the assistance of NDDB in 1994.

On October 31, 1992 Dr V Kurian, chairman of NDDB laid the foundation of Kaira unions
third dairy with a processing capacity of 6.5 lakhs liters of milk a day. Work on the union’s
satelite dairy & cheese plant at Khatraj began in February 1994.

There were about 250000 breedable buffaloes in Kaira which is helping Amul to ensure a
regular & quality milk output for various parts of the country. Moreover, the district also had
50000 crores breed cows, which yield milk of high quality.

The experiment in co-operation that began in Kaira district at the instance of Sardar Patel has
new been replicated throughout the country in more than 160 milk sheds. Today there are 8
million dairy farmers who belong to the co-operative supporting between 4.5 to 5 crores
family members.

Secret Of Amul Success

Despite of all the problems faced by the dairy industry in India, its progress is remarkable. It
is one of the fastest growing industry, about to acquire second position in the world.
Following are the basic sectors of success on India's dairy industry:

1. The efficient milk production, which is symbiotically integrated into agriculture. The crop
farming system provides residues and by-products are feed and fodder's for dairy animals.
The milk production system in turn provides drought power and organic fertilizers to the
farming system.
2. The involvement's of milk producers in setting up their own organisation for milk
production enhancement, procurement, processing and marketing. The dairy co-operative
combines the strength of farmers with the skills of professionals to ensure high returns
3. It has an important role in employment generation with regard to its contribution to
national income it has 1st rank at producer price. The value of its output in the year 1997-
98 was Rs.50,0511 crores. This is the amount next to the value of paddy.
4. The milk producers in India are assured of remunerative prices. They receive almost 66%
of what is paid by the consumers as retail price. This has acted as an incentive to increase
milk production. A low margin between the producer price and the retail price has also
resulted in reasonable price to the consumer, thus expanding the market for milk and milk
products.
5. Imports of dairy commodities in India have been cancelled through a farmer friendly
NDDB, which ensures that imported commodities are not made available to the
processing plants at a price lower than that of locally produced milk.
6. Collecting milk from the milk producers now carries the responsibility of supplying them
inputs to increase the milk production. This linkage also optimizes on the transportation
cost of the cattle feed to milk producers to the processing plants.
7. Bulk of the milk is delivered to processing plants within 3-4 hours of making, thus
avoiding intermediate chilling. This has resulted in reducing the price spread between the
producer and the customer.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 20


8. National milk Grid: Milk now moves right across the length and breadth of the country,
linking producers with the consumers and evening out of regional and seasonal disparities
in production and consumption. This ensures right prices to the producers and the
continues supply to the customers.
9. India ha achieved bilk of the increase in milk production through the genetic upgradation
of the local stock rather than important milk cattle. Only a limited number of exotic were
imported for the production of exotic bulks needed for the up gradation of local stock.

Cattle feed: Balanced cattle feed concentrates are now being made available to milk
producers right at the village level at reasonable price. Trucks that bring also carry cattle
feed thereby saving on the transportation cost.

Indian Scenario

Scope For Foreign Investment In Dairy Industry

After adoption of the new economic policy 1991, India offers to foreign investors, a well-
balanced package of fiscal incentives for exports and industrial investment, without many
interventions from government.

DFP (Dairy Food Processing) offers a good opportunity to foreign investors in India. The
changing international dairy trade pattern following GATT and the emergence of WTO
(World Trade Organisation) offers the Indian dairy industry an opportunity to take its blow as
an exporter. India’s enthusiasm to integrate with the world economy is reflected in
technological up gradation professional excellence and a cost effective approach.

The two main reasons for the world focus on India are:
1. The low cost economy.
2. The liberalization process initiated since 1991.

Other important factors include:


Low inflation rate, inexpensive labour, the presence of the worlds third largest pool of
technological man power, worlds largest democracy, an independent and well established
judiciary and case is communication due to wide spread use of English among educated and
professional class. At the same time the market within India as well as the exports markets is
fast growing which ensures attractive return on entrepreneur’s investment.

Problems Faced By Dairy Industry

1. The consumption of milk among rural population and also low income groups of
urban population is low, despite of India having a tradition of milk consumption.
2. Inability to feed cattle adequately throughout the year remains the most wide spread
constraint.
3. Quality dairy animals are in short supply. Artificial insemination service for breeding
better cattle has limited coverage, barely reading an estimated 10% of bovines.
4. The animal health cover is getting increasingly neglected. In many states over 70-80%
of the veterinary budget is used up for staff salaries and jeeps, with little left to buy
medicines and other supplies.
5. On the production front, the pesticides contamination of new milk is demanding
immediate remedial steps.
6. Limited marketing support handicaps rural milk producers seriously. Presently, urban
milk supplies largely comes from major milk shed districts. Dairy producers in remote
areas are neglected.
7. Limited investment in setting up or expansion of milk procurement network is another
bottleneck. The rapid expansion in milk processing capacity has not kept place milk
production and procurement.
8. The high cost of credit and unavailability of cheap credit on time is another adverse
factor reducing viability of the dairy industry.
9. The immense problem to the dairy industry is due to infrastructure for transporting,
processing, and distributing rurally produced milk to major consumer centres in urban
areas. Improvement in raw milk by its chilling and refrigerated transport is vital for
making quality products.
10. The rural women, an invisible partner need access to training in modern cattle
management to maximize return.

Consumer Habits And Practices


Milk has been an integral part of Indian food for centuries. The per capita availability of milk
in India has grown from 172 gm per person per day in 1972 to 182 gm in 1992 and 212 gm in
2002-2003.At this per capita consumption it is below the world average of 285 gm and even
less than 220 gm recommended by the Nutrinitional Advisory Committee Of the Indian
Council of Medical Research.

There are regional disparities in production and consumption also. The per capita availability
in the north is 278 gm, south 148gm,and east only 93 gm per person per day. This disparity is
due to concentration of milk production in some pockets and high cost of transportation. Also
the output of milk in several growing areas is much higher then elsewhere which can be
attributed to abundant availability of fodder, crop residues, etc. which have a high food value
for milch animals.

In India about 46% of the total milk produced is consumed in liquid form and 47% is
converted into traditional products like cottage butter, ghee, paneer, khoya, curd, malai etc.
only 7% of the milk goes into the production of theystern products like milk powders,
processed butter, and processed cheese. The remaining 54% is utilized for conversion to milk
products. Among milk products manufactured by the organized sector. Some of the
prominent ones are ghee, butter, cheese, ice creams, milk poweders.malted milk food,
condensed milk infants food. Ghee alone accounts for 85%.

It is estimated that around 20% of the total milk produced in the country is consumed at
producer- household level & remaining is marketed through various cooperatives, private
dairies & vendors. Also of the total produce more than 50% is procured by cooperatives and
other private dairies.

While for cooperatives of the total milk procured 60% is consumed in fluid from and rest is
used for manufacturing processed value added dairy products; for private dairies only 45% is

“Amul – The Taste of India” 30


marketed in fluid form and rest is processed into value added dairy products like ghee,
makhan etc.

Still several consumers in urban areas prefer to buy loose milk from vendors due to the strong
perception that loose milk is fresh. Also, the current level of processing and packaging
capacity limits.

The preferred dairy animal in India is buffalo unlike the majority of the world market, which
is dominated by cow milk .As high as 98% of milk is produced in rural India, which caters to
72% of the total population, whereas urban sector with 28 % population consumes 56% of
total milk produced. Even in urban India, as high as 83% of the consumed milk comes from
the unorganized tradinitional sector.

Presently only 12% of the milk market is represented by packaged and branded pasteurized
milk, valued at about Rs. 8,000 crores. Quality of milk sold by organized sector however is
inconsistent and so is the price across the season in local areas. . Also these vendors add
water and caustic soda, which makes the milk unhygienic.

Market Size and Growth

Market size for milk is estimated to be 36mn MT valued at Rs.470billion. The market is
currently growing at round 4% p.a. in volume terms. The milk surplus states in India are U.P.,
Punjab, Haryana, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Maharastra, A.P., Karnataka, and Tamil Nadu. The
manufacturing of milk products is concentrate Tamil Nadu d in these milk surplus states. The
top 6 states are U.P, Punjab, Rajasthan, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and A.P together account for
58% of national production.

Milk production grew by a 1% p.a. between 1947 to 1970. Since the early 70’s, under
operation flood, production growth increased at 5% p.a.

About 75% of milk is consumed at the household level, which is not a part of commercial
dairy industry. Loose milk has a larger market in India as it is perceived to be fresh by most
consumers, in reality however, it poses a higher risk of adulteration and contamination.
The production of milk products, i.e. milk products including infant milk food, malted food,
condensed milk & cheesed stood at 3.07 lakh MT in 2003. Production of milk powder
including infant milk food has raised 2.25 lakh MT in 2003. Where as that of malted food is

“Amul – The Taste of India” 31


at 65000 MT. cheese and condensed milk production stands at 5000 and 11000 MT
respectively in same year.

Market Share

GCMMF faces tough competition in the Indian market by different companies like Britannia,
Vadialal Cadbury etc. Though it is quite new in the Indian market it shares a fair amount of
dairy products in India. By advertising and promoting its product GCMMF has become one
of the leading dairies in India. In western of India GCMMF shares the most of the market
while in other parts of India it is next so. But slowly and surely GCMMF is growing in
sharing the market with other competitors industries.

Major Players
The packaged milk segment is dominated by the dairy cooperatives. GCMMF is the largest
player. All other local dairy cooperatives have their local brands.e.g.Warana in Maharastra,
Saras in Rajasthan, Vijaya in A.P etc. other private players include J K Dairy, Heritage
Foods, Indian Dairy etc.

Export Prospects For India

Presently, India a non-entity in international dairy market. However exports of milk products
are picking up, having gone up by 40 times by value in the first half of the nineties, the value
worth of RS. 400 million in 1994-95. Today GCMMF (Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing
Federation) is India’s largest exported of dairy products valued at Rs. 18.3 crores in 1995-96.
Its exports earnings are likely to get doubled in 1998-99. Two note worthy export
opportunities are emerging one in South-east Asia and other in Russia, the immediate future
is the prospects of an additional demand of over 3 million tonnes of milk products in the
Asian region. Equally significant is the rise of Russia as the world’s biggest dairy importer.

India is not fully utilizing its export potential in respect of dairy products. The cost of milk
production in India is the lowest. And the dairy industry is not getting any subsidy. There is
an urgent need to pay special attention to the quality if India has to compete with other
countries. At present the county is exporting the malted milk foods, ghee, butter, and cheese
to other countries like Bangladesh, UAE, Nepal, Shri Lanka, Oman and Bahrain. Of course
world milk prices are subject to dramatic fluctuations.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 32


Export earning from the live-stock sector and related products rose to Rs. 19,250 million in
1996-97 from Rs. 7,920 million in 1988-89.

India’s Export Of Milk Products


India is evident that except for baby food, the exports for all other milk products are showing
an increasing trend in terms of quantity as well as in terms of value.
On the other hand India’s imports of milk production specially milk powder and baby food is
showing a declining trend.

Looking at the growing export opportunities in the post GATT ERA, Indian planners have
measures areas already adopted become quality conscious. Corrective measures areas already
adopted to meet the sanitary and phyto-sanitary specifications prescribed by WTO. Besides,
covering processed dairy products, the specifications of the WTO silos extended to the health
status of cattle and other live stock. Consequently, the main thrust of the ninth plan proposals
is on the improvement of animal health and adoption of sanitary and phyto sanitary
specifications for dairy products. Towards this end, the TMDD (Technology Mission on
Dairy Development) has initiated wide ranging programmes.

Concerns in export competitiveness are

Low cost Of Production

Milk production is a combination of labour & capital intensive. Due to low labour cost, cost
of production of milk is significantly to there in India.

Quality

Significant investment has to be made in milk procurement, equipment, chilling and


refrigeration facilities. Also, training has to be imparted to improve the quality to bring it up
to international standards.

Productivity

To have an exportable surplus in the long term and also to maintain cost competitiveness, it is
imperative to improve productivity of Indian cattle.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 33


There is a vast market for the export of traditional milk products such as ghee, paneer,
shrikhand, rasgolas, etc.

Regulatory Environment in the Dairy Processing Sector


The Indian processed dairy industry has grown and diversified enormously in the last few
years. To ensure the proper development and growth of this industrial sector, the Government
of India has instituted various laws and regulations. The various regulations that govern the
dairy processing industry can broadly be classified into:

“Amul – The Taste of India” 35


Compulsory Legislation

Prevention of Food Adulteration Act, 1954


This Act is the basic statute that is intended to protect the common consumer against the
supply of adulterated food. This specifies different standards for various food articles. The
standards are in terms of minimum quality levels intended for ensuring safety in the
consumption of these food items and for safeguarding against harmful impurities and
adulteration. The Central Committee for Food Standards, under the Directorate General of
Health Services, Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, is responsible for the operation of
this Act. The provisions of the Act are mandatory and contravention of the rules can lead to
both fines and imprisonment.

Milk and Milk Product Order (MMPO) 1992


The Milk and Milk Product Order (MMPO), 1992, issued on June 9, 1992 seeks to ensure the
supply of liquid milk, an essential commodity, to consumers by regulating its processing and
distribution. Within eight years of its operation, the Central/State Registering Authorities
have till December 2000 registered 666 units with a total processing capacity of 65.8 million
litres per day (mlpd).

Silent Features of the MMPO Order include the following:

Registrations for units handling up to 75,000 litres of milk per day are granted by the State
Governments and units with more than 75,000 litres per day capacity are registered by the
Central Registering Authority.

The Certificate also specifies the milkshed area, which, under the order is defined as a
geographical area demarcated by the Registering Authority for the collection of milk by the
registered unit.

Maintenance of specified hygienic conditions in the premises where milk and milk products
are handled, processed, manufactured or stored.

The collection, transportation and processing of milk normally centres around the operations
of a processing plant. The region from which the marketable surplus of milk production finds
its way to a processing plant is called a 'milkshed'. The concept of milkshed areas is pivotal to
the MMPO. For an orderly development of the dairy industry, a proper assignment/allocation
of milkshed is critical.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 36


The dairy industry is regulated in most countries through various ways. Many subsidise part
or whole of domestic production. Imports are commonly restricted, and exports frequently
subsidised. High dairy price supports in many countries are put in place to stimulate
production to the extent that subsidies for exports are necessitated to maintain domestic dairy
programmes

In the United Kingdom, all the milk produced by farmers is procured by the cooperatives.
Private dairies are required to buy their milk requirement from cooperatives. New Zealand
has no private sector dairy plants. As many as 90 per cent of dairies in the erstwhile West
Germany and 100 per cent in Denmark, Netherlands and Sweden are in the cooperative
sector.

In the United States, 70 per cent of the dairy industry is cooperative. Dairy programmes are
subject to more Government participation or regulation than most other domestic agricultural
industries in the USA. There are also Federal Milk Marketing Orders and movement barriers
in the USA for "orderly marketing control, which is associated with stabilising fluid milk
prices, providing secured and dependable markets for individual farmers producing milk
primarily for the fluid market and improving the balance of market power between farmers
and handlers.

In the emerging liberalised global scenario, trade-distorting agricultural policies have been
the focus of the GATT multilateral trade negotiations. With the liberalisation of agricultural
trade under the new GATT regime, the heavy subsidies prevalent in the dairy sector in the
countries of the EU as well as in the USA will have to be brought down in the next few years.
The competitive advantages of the Indian dairy industry are then considered to be substantial.
With substantial and continued investment in building up milk production, India can emerge
as a major exporter of dairy products in the next few decades.

Standards on Weights and Measures (Packaged Commodities) Rules, 1977


These Rules lay down certain obligatory conditions for all commodities that are packed form,
with respect to declarations on quantities contained. These Rules are operated by the
Directorate of Weights and Measures, under the Ministry of Food and Civil Supplies.

Export (Quality Control & Inspection) Act, 1963

“Amul – The Taste of India” 37


The Export Inspection Council is responsible for the operation of this Act. Under the Act, a
large number of exportable commodities have been notified for compulsory pre-shipment
inspection. The quality control and inspection of various export products is administered
through a network of more than fifty offices located around major production centres and
ports of shipment. In addition, organizations may be recognized as agencies for inspection
and /or quality control. Recently, the government has exempted agriculture and food
products, fruit products and fish and fishery products from compulsory pre-shipment
inspections, provided that the exporter has a firm letter from the overseas buyer stating that
the overseas buyer does not require pre-shipment inspection from official Indian inspection
agencies.

Pollution Control
No Objection Certificate from Pollution Control Board is a must.

Voluntary Standards
There are two organizations that deal with voluntary standardization and certification systems
in the food sector. The Bureau of Indian Standards looks after standardization of processed
foods and standardization of raw agricultural produce is under the purview of the Directorate
of Marketing and Inspection.
Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
The activities of BIS are two fold, the formulation of Indian standards in the processed foods
sector and the implementation of standards through promotion and through voluntary and
third party certification systems. BIS has on record, standards for most of processed foods. In
general, these standards cover raw materials permitted and their quality parameters, hygienic
conditions under which products are manufactured and packaging and labelling requirements.
Manufacturers complying with standards laid down by the BIS can obtain and "ISI" mark that
can be exhibited on product packages. BIS has identified certain items like food
colours/additives, vanaspati, containers for packing, milk powder and condensed milk, for
compulsory certification.
Directorate of Marketing and Inspection (DMI)
The DMI enforces the Agricultural Products (Grading and Marketing) Act, 1937. Under this
Act, Grade Standards are prescribed for agricultural and allied commodities. These are
known as "Agmark" Standards. Grading under the provisions of this Act is voluntary.
Manufacturers who comply with standard laid down by DMI are allowed to use "Agmark"
labels on their products.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 38


Other Government Regulations
Industrial Licence:
No licence is required for setting up a Dairy Project in India. Only a Memorandum has to be
submitted to the Secretariat for Industrial Approvals (SIA) and an acknowledgment is
to be obtained.

However Certificate of Registration is required under the Milk and Milk Products Control
Order (MMPO) 1992.

Foreign Investment:
Foreign Investment in dairying requires prior approval from the Secretariat of Industrial
Approvals, Ministry of Industry, as dairying has not been included in the list of High
Priority Industries.

Automatic approval will be given upto 51% Foreign Investment in High Priority Industries.
In case of other Industries, proposals will be cleared on case to case basis. Government may
allow 51% without enforcing the old limit of 40% applicable under Foreign Exchange
Regulations Act at its discretion.

Foreign Technology Agreements:


Foreign Technology Agreements are freely allowed in high priority industries under the
following terms:
Lump sum payment of Rs 10 million
Royalty payment of 5% on domestic sales and 8% as exports subject to total payment of 8%
on sales turnover, over a 10 year period from the date of agreement or 7 years from
commencement of production.

Foreign Technology Agreements in dairying also need prior approval. Foreign Exchange
required for payment of Royalty will have to be purchased at market rates.

Foreign Technicians can be freely hired.

Import of Capital Goods


Import of capital goods is automatically allowed if it is financed through Foreign Equity.
Alternatively, approval is needed from the Secretariat of Industrial Approvals. The approval
depends on the availability of Foreign Exchange Resources.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 39


Import of Second Hand Capital Goods
Import of Second hand goods is allowed subject to the following conditions:
Minimum Residual life of 5 years The equipment should not be more than 7 years old. A
certificate from the Chartered Engineers of the country of origin certifying the age and the
Residual life is to be produced. Import will be allowed only for actual users.

Dividend Balancing
Remittances of dividend should be covered by earnings from exports recorded in the years
prior to the payment of dividend or in the years of the payment of the dividend.

WTO norms may milk Indian dairy dry


IN INDIA, dairy farming contributes significantly to the generation of employment in the
rural areas, supplementing the income of small and marginal farmers and landless labourers,
particularly in the rain-fed and drought-prone areas. Allied sectors, such as animal husbandry
and fisheries, which have a negligible share of GDP in agriculture, grew rapidly compared to
the crop sector in 1980-96.

Today, about a fourth of the GDP in agriculture is accounted for by the allied sectors, in
which animal husbandry accounts for the lion's share. The growing diversification of
agriculture is also an indication of changing consumption preferences and income levels. So
far, this activity was protected from international competition through import duties and
restrictions. However, consequent to the Uruguay Round of Multilateral Trade Negotiations
in 1994, to which India is a signatory, this sector is being gradually exposed to the
international market.

The WTO provisions may affect the Indian dairy in two ways. First, Indian dairy products
may have to compete with the major producers of processed dairy products such as the
European Union (EU), the US and the Oceania countries, such as Australia and New Zealand.
Second, in the absence of import restrictions, domestic dairy products may have to compete
with cheaper imports. Will Indian consumers then discard domestic products? Will Indian
butter become bitter? If this happens, the pattern of dairy development will go askew,
affecting income distribution and may lead to social unrest. It is, therefore, necessary to
effectively fortify the dairy industry from international onslaught and help the poor generate
income and raise their standards of living.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 40


According to FAO statistics, of the world milk production of 556 million tonne (MT),
roughly two-thirds is concentrated in the developed countries. The erstwhile East European
bloc and West Europe together account for 18 per cent and South Asia, including India, 17
per cent. North America, consisting of the US, Canada and Central America, produces 24 per
cent, the Oceania countries produce 4 per cent, while the rest is from the remaining countries.
About 86 per cent of the world production comprises cow milk and only 10.3 per cent is
buffalo milk, mostly confined to the South Asian countries.
About 72 per cent of the production of cow milk is concentrated in developed countries such
as the US and the EU, accounting for about 50 per cent of total world milk production.
Today, India ranks first in milk production and has the largest cattle and buffalo population.
Thanks to Operation Flood, or the `white revolution', and cooperative efforts, which raised
milk output from 22.5 MT in 1971 to 71 MT in 1997, the annual growth rate is 4.7 per cent,
perhaps the highest in the world. The per capita availability of milk rose by around 2 per cent
per annum in the same period.
Milk trade

Of the total milk production, only 5-6 per cent is traded globally. Liquid milk is not traded.
The trade is confined only to processed milk products such as skimmed milk powder (SMP),
whole milk powder (WMP), butter and ghee (BG) and cheese. More than 90 per cent of the
total production of processed dairy products is concentrated in the EU, the US, India,
Pakistan, Brazil, Poland, Australia and New Zealand. About 75 per cent of the demand comes
from 8-9 nations. The pattern of world trade in milk production is also segmented. Most of
the low-value dairy products are exported to developing countries while the high-value milk
products are exchanged among developed countries. India has been exporting negligible
quantities of SMP and WMP.
WTO provisions

To make the dairy product market more competitive and improve efficiency of production,
multilateral negotiations in 1994 adopted a package of measures for countries producing
dairy products. These measures have to be adhered to by all WTO signatories. Some of the
important provisions are liberalising trade and government policies to augment world import
demand for dairy products, commitments on market access, reduction of domestic support
and subsidies on exports for the removal of distortions in the domestic market. India is a
signatory to the WTO and has already removed quantitative restrictions (QRs) on 714 items.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 41


 The impact

Provisions such as the commitment of domestic support and subsidies on exports under
normal circumstances may not have a negative impact on the Indian dairy industry, at least in
the short run. The Agreement on Agriculture (AoA) mentions that these provisions are
applicable only to select dairy products. Even among these products, only a few are
important. A country can successfully reduce support to unimportant items and support the
important ones, bringing down the total support well within the GATT permitted limit.

As for subsidies on exports, though India tops in milk production, the export of milk and milk
products is negligible. Among the processed dairy products, India exports only butter and
ghee and has a negligible presence in SMP and WMP trade. However, these provisions might
affect Indian dairy through a change in the import demand. A substantial cut in the export
subsidies by the developed countries, which are also bound by the WTO agreement, may
push up world prices, making domestic products, such as butter, cheaper. However, the
impact of these provisions will largely be determined by world price behaviour.

Other provisions, such as market access, removal of QRs, non-tariff barriers (sanitary and
phyto-sanitary regulations) and GMO issues are real cause for concern. The WTO supporters
argue that the withdrawal of domestic support and subsidies on exports will increase the
international prices of the dairy products. Countries with relatively lower costs of production
may enjoy comparative advantages and cash in on the external demand.

As per these provisions, the EU, which accounts for 40 per cent of the world trade of dairy
products, reduced the subsidy on butter from $1,481 a tonne in 1990 to $1,392 in 1995, with
a commitment to reduce it to $947 by 2000. Similarly on SMP, the subsidy was reduced from
$430 a tonne in 1990 to $406 in 1995 with a commitment to reduce it to $275. Thus, the
commitment of the EU has been to reduce 36 per cent of the subsidies uniformly.

The US is also committed to slashing subsidy on these products. However, looking at the
behaviour of the world prices of dairy products, one gets a contrary picture. Instead of the
world prices being pushed up, as was believed, they actually declined. For SMP, the price
declined from $2,025 a tonne (fob) in 1995 to $1,452 a tonne. WMP experienced a similar

“Amul – The Taste of India” 42


price reduction. In some quarters this is attributed to the increased subsidy by the EU and the
US and to the policy of differential subsidy across the globe. In the US, the rate of subsidy is
reported to be higher on the consignments of milk powder destined to South Asia, perhaps to
nullify the freight advantage enjoyed by Oceania countries such as Australia and New
Zealand, which are nearer to South Asia.

Another reason is the dampened demand for dairy products from the crisis-stricken Russian
Federation, which has the largest share in the total demand for milk products. In fact, the
world market structure for dairy products appears to be oligoponist-oligopoly, wherein the
price determination does not follow the rules of supply and demand but of price leadership
and price wars. In fact, the EU has become the price-setter in international trade. In such a
situation, however, questions arise over how the WTO provisions can increase the
competition in the world market. This does not defy the efficiency argument. The only
beneficiary of depressed world prices is New Zealand which produces dairy products more
economically, even without subsidy. As a result, its share in the total exports rose more than
20 per cent.

India has already agreed to zero tariffs on SMP and other imports (the other country being
Singapore). Due to the depressed world price of SMP, the cheaper product would be available
to the domestic consumers. This may disturb SMP production, its price structure and the price
structure of milk and milk products. The Indian dairy industry should immediately advocate
the imposition of tariff equivalent to the difference between the world and domestic prices of
dairy products with some premium on it.

Countries such as New Zealand and Australia, which produce dairy products at the least cost
without subsidy, have imposed 10-20 per cent tariff on SMP imports. India would also have
to minimise production costs to protect the Indian dairy industry. A wide gap between the
cost of production and the world market price may enhance the competitive advantage to
increase exports and insulate the domestic market from cheaper imports. This calls for dairy
development on a more systematic and scientific lines, additional investment in
infrastructure, improved quality and better breeds of animals, transfer of technology and a
more professional approach to dairying.

Non-tariff barriers

“Amul – The Taste of India” 43


Apart from the tariffs, there could be many non-tariff barriers, either under provisions of
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) or imposed by the countries, to be overcome by Indian
dairy products to make inroads into the markets of developed countries. Though the WTO
provision lays down that the minimum five per cent market access may have to be given by
importing countries, the developed countries impose certain quality norms and product
specifications and other sanitary and phyto-sanitary regulations. The EU now insists that
milking cows be fully mechanised to avoid contamination, and potable water used to process
milk. It also prescribes that only steel machinery and filtered air be used for processing. To
adhere to these specifications, the Indian dairy industry may have to invest much capital in
the required infrastructure, either through co-operative efforts or corporate sector
intervention. However, this may increase the cost of milk at the present yield levels. The
expansion of milk production through better animal variety, and breeds, therefore, becomes a
precondition for such an approach.

Quality Control & Pre-Shipment Inspection


The Export Inspection Council of India (EIC) was set up by the Government of India under
Section 3 of the Export (Quality Control and Inspection) Act, 1963 to provide for sound
development of export trade through quality control and pre-shipment inspection

Approval Of Food Products Processing Units Under Fsms

EIC continued to operate mandatory export certification under the above system for fish and
fishery products (F& FP), egg products, milk products.

A total of 35 units have been approved by the EIC for export of milk products to the countries
of EU.

Regulations About Waste


Discharge
Over the years the discharge of wastes have increased and regulations were imposed in
various countries all over the world making it mandatory on the part of the industries to treat
the waste before it is discharged into the rivers or lakes to avoid pollution of water. India is
no exception in this regard and an Act was passed in the Parliament in 1974 to prevent and
control water pollution

Dairy Waste Generation in India

“Amul – The Taste of India” 44


Regarding dairy industry in India, improved facilities to farmers and wider use of mechanical
refrigeration have made it possible to collect milk over considerable areas and to bring it to a
large central processing plant either for marketing as fluid milk or after conversion into
products. This has resulted in greater concentration of waste and the diary waste being rich in
nutrients may endanger aquatic life if let into rivers or lakes without treatment. A dissolved
oxygen level of 7 PPM is present in rivers or lakes and if this level reaches below 5 PPM the
aquatic life is in danger because the micro-organisms present in the waste or in the water of
the river or lake use the dissolved oxygen to convert the organic matter constituting of
protein, lactose, Fat, etc. into end products. Hence it has become necessary for the dairy
industry to treat its waste before it is discharged into rivers or lakes.

Treatment Process Concept :

The raw effluent, comprising of dairy waste and domestic waste bears oil and grease, high
amount of suspended solids and bio-chemical oxygen demand. The conceptual approach of
the treatment includes the removal of oil and grease, coares and settleable suspended
particles, dissolved organic matter and handling of sludge for disposal. Substantial amount of
free oil and grease is removed by skimming operation in the grease trap. However, the heart
of this treatment system is the aerobic-biological reactors which are designed on the basis of
activated sludge process. The activated sludge treatment process basically involves the
degradation of organic matter by the action of various micro-organisms as depicted in the
following equation.

Organics + Micro + Oxygen + Nutrients -> New cells + Carbon-dioxide + Ammonia +


Energy.

This could be restated as :

Waste + Sludge + Surplus Sludge + End product

In this biological process, a part of the newly synthesised sludge undergoes oxidation called
Endogeneous respiration.

Cells + Oxygen - End products + Less cells

The efficiency of the system mainly depends upon the concentration of active micro-
organisms present to perform the assimilation of organic matter. The activated sludge, in
general consists bacterial and micro-organisms like protozoa, rotifiers, etc. The desirably

“Amul – The Taste of India” 45


environmental conditions like sufficient dissolved oxygen, substrate and nutrients are
required for cell growth and energy for various metabolic functions. It is, essential that the
biological floe should readily separate from the treated waste water in the final clarifier. The
concentration of microflora is maintained by routing the mixed liquor flowing from the
aeration tank through a secondary clarifier and recycling most of the settled biological solids
back to the aeration tank.

Delhi Mother Dairy has set up an effluent treatment plant which was commissioned in April,
1982. The capacity from 1000M3 was emcreased up 1650M3 in 1986. Not only is the waste
waster treated by the activated sludge process in this plant, but also the sewage from the
Dairy and adjoining staff quarters.

Indian dairy sector is clocking a healthy growth of over 4% a year.

The Indian dairy industry registered a substantial growth from the 8th Plan onwards,
achieving an annual output of over 69 million tonnes of milk. India’s milk output
during 2001-02 was estimated to be 84.6 million tonnes and is expected to reach the
level of 88 million tonnes during 2002-03.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 48


SOCIAL FACTORS

Life Style Trend

With more money on hand, more and more Indians are drinking milk and buttering their
bread. Rising income levels have led to a rapid increase in the consumption of milk and
milk products among Indian households.

Urbanization

Urban population is increased about 26 million 1901 to 62 millions in 1951 an increase of


only 36 million in 50 years. But thereafter the absolute increase during the next three decades
was of the order of 98 million(1951-81). Due to this reason the consumption of the milk was
drastically increase during last two to four decades. Because of the consumption of milk is
high in urban area compared to rural area. By the year of last the urban population is reached
around 25.7 percent of total population. The effective milk market is largely confined to
urban areas, inhabited by over 25 per cent of the country's population. An estimated 50 per
cent of the total milk produced is consumed here. By the end of the twentieth century, the
urban population is expected to increase by more than 100 million to touch 364 million in
2000 a growth of about 40 per cent. The expected rise in urban population would be a boon to
Indian dairying. Presently, the organized sector both cooperative and private and the
traditional sector cater to this market.

Consumption Habit And Practices

Day by day the need of milk is continuously increase. In the year 1972 average requirement
of the milk per capita is 172 per gram. While in 2000 the requirement 215 gram per year. So
there will be more demand or milk and milk products in nearer future.
The consumption of milk is highest in north India that is 278 gram per day, while in west
region 174 gram per day. In eastern and southern area combines 215 grams per day require.
46% of the total milk is consumed in liquid form and 47% is converted into ghee, paneer and
ice cream and only 7% milk goes for western products like powder, cheese etc.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 49


The 98% of the milk produced in the rural area which is cats of 72% of the population
whereas the urban sector with 28% populations.
Even in urban India India as high as 83% of the consumed milk comes from the unorganized
sector.

Presently only 12% of the milk is represented by packaged and branded pasteurized milk.

Population

During 1981-91, the population of India grew from 683 million in 1981 to 844 million in 1991-
indicating in increase of 161 million during the period. The rate of the growth slightly declined to
2.11 percent during 81-91 decade. Subsequently, during the 8 years period (1991-98), population
grew from 844 million to 987 million-an increase of 120 million. The annual average rate of
growth registered a decline to 1.8 per cent.

TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS
Some areas of Indian dairy industry can be strengthened by the induction of specialized
technologies and equipment from overseas. These include:

Raw milk handling: It needs to be upgraded in terms of physico-chemical and


microbiological attributes of the milk collected. The use of clarification and bactofugation in
raw milk processing can help improve quality of the milk products.

Milk processing: Better operational efficiencies are needed to improve yields and reduce
wastage, minimize fat/protein losses during processing, control production costs, save energy
and extend shelf life. The adoption of GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) and HACCP
(Hazard Analysis Critical Control Points) would help manufacture milk products conforming
to international standards.

Packaging: Another area is the range of packing machines for butter, cheese and the like.
Better packaging can help retain nutritive value of products packed and extend shelf life. A
cold chain distribution system is needed for proper storage and transportation of dairy
products.

Value-added products: There's immense scope for value-added products like desserts,
puddings, custards, sauces, mousse, stirred yoghurt, nectars and sherbets.

In this 21st Century, the Indian dairy industry has set its goal to better manage its national
resources for enhancing milk production and upgrading milk processing through newer
technologies. Multinational dairy giants can carve a niche for themselves in this challenging
task — a win-win situation that can be won!

Packaging Technology

Milk was initially sold door-to-door by the local milkman. When the dairy co-operatives
initially started marketing branded milk, it was sold in glass bottles sealed with foil. Over the
years, several developments in packaging media have taken place. In the early 80’s , plastic
pouches replaced the bottles. Plastic pouches made transportation & storage very convenient,
besides reducing cost. Milk packed in plastic pouches have a shelf life of just 1 to 2 days, that
too only if refrigerated. In 1996, tetra packs were introduced in India. Tetra packs are aseptic
laminate packs made of aluminum, paperboard and plastic. Milk stored in tetra packs and
treated under ultra high temperature technique (UHT) can be stored for four months without
refrigeration. Most of then dairy co-operatives in A.P, Tamil Nadu, Punjab & Rajasthan sell
milk in tetra packs. However tetra packed milk is costlier by Rs. 5 to 7 compared to plastic

“Amul – The Taste of India” 53


pouches. In 1999-2000 Nestle launched its UHT milk. Amul too relaunched its Amul Taaza
brand of UHTs milk. The UHT milk market is expected to grow at a rate of more than 10-
12% in coming years.

MICRO ENVIRONMENT

For any organisation to succeed the management function are as important as the production
because what has been produced has to be marketed, to produce the items the finance is
required and also the employees are required which is taken care in the finance and the
personnel functions resp.

So the important of these functions cannot be under done.

Personnel Department
Introduction
The success to any industrial unit, depend upon their effective personnel department.
Personnel department is basically commercial with human resource of an enterprise and it
also continue procurement, development, non monetary comparison, integration and
maintenance of the personnel purpose of contribution towards the accomplishment of the
organization’s major goal and objectives. Personnel management in opinion of many author
is true management. So sometimes it’s told that management means to manage human
behaviour. Personnel management is that phase of management which deals with the
effective control of use of manpower as distinguished from other source of power.

The management includes all aspects of works such as recruitment, selection, medical
checkup, various types of training, transfer, welfare activities, union activities factory all
provision and industrial dispatch.

Recruitment
Recruitment forms the first stage in the process which continues with selection and cased
with the placement of the candidate recruitment makes it possible to acquire the number and
types of people necessary to ensure to continues operation of the organization requirement
has, been regarded as the most important function of personnel administration.

Amul’s recruitment and selection process is very systematic and comprehensive. All division
head in inform about their manpower requirements. According to the requirement of the
personnel division they get require employees by resources like postal services employment
exchange education institution and advertisement.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 55


Amul Dairy receive lot of application in response to their advertisement. Thus from contains
the information about candidates vest name, place of birth, nationality, region, qualification
and experience details of personal employee status etc. these forms are to be checked by
authorized person and he adopts only needed application and eliminate unnecessary of
unqualified fated scrutinizing the application. Applicants are called for personal interview.
Interview committee conducts this interview. When applicants are too many, then they
conduct a written test for general knowledge. These who pass this test are called for interview
then after smart selection process.

Source of Recruitment
1. By giving advertisement in news papers
2. Labour Union
3. Voluntary Organisation
4. Leasing Contract
5. Private Employment Agency
6. Government Employment Exchange
7. School, Colleges, Universities and Professional Institutes
8. Recommendation of present Employee
9. Recruitment as Temporary Workers

Selection

Selection process is concerned with screening relevant information about an applicant. The
objective of selection process is to determine whether an applicant meets the qualification for
a specific job and to choose the applicant who is most likely to perform well in that job.

In Amul rating are noted for general knowledge experience knowledge that particular field
etc. from these forms then highest marks are selected and send for medical examination. The
applicant which are physically fit are sent appointment letter which contains some terms and
conditions of the candidate. The candidate will have to sign to this letter that he is ready to
strictly obey these terms and conditions. Higher level is to be directly recruited and selected
by the committee. The employee has to inform the date of joining the organization on such
date specific period of training is adjusted.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 56


Training & Development
Training and management development are the two separate things. Training is required for
persons working at operative level and it it required for increasing the knowledge and skills
of employees. So that they can perform their tasks in the best manner while management
development refers to the activities which take place in order to improve the performance of
the managerial levels personnels. Training and management development contribute a lot in
increasing the productivity. It is matter pity that GCMMF is not having a separate dept. for
training and development.

For providing to newly selected person at operative level, he is places at the work under
supervision of a senior worker who gives guidance and instructions about the particular work.
For the managerial level personnel, they select only those person who are having an
experience of at least three year in the same fields. Then a newly selected person is assigned
such tasks as are of less important and his performance is observed for three months.

There are two type of training methods:

 On the job Training Methods:


1. On Specific job
- Experience
- Coaching
- Understood
2. Position Rotation
3. Special Projects
4. Selective Reading
5. Apprenticeship
 Off the job Training Methods
1. Special course and lecture
2. Conference
3. Case Studies
4. Role playing method
5. Management Games

Promotion & Transfer Policy

“Amul – The Taste of India” 57


Promotion

A promote on the transfer of an employee do a job. which play more money are one that
carries some preferred status. In Amul mainly two promotions policy are taken.
1. Automatic promotion
2. Merit cum seniority

From time to time different type of promotion policies are adopted by Amul.

During the period of 1972,their was negotiation with union under shish promotion was given
automatically do a person who had completed his 6 yrs and 2nd promotion was given after 7
yrs.

Then Amul adopted merit cum senioring policy. And now at present merit Amul favours
promotion.

Under this policy performance of the employee his part record behavior opinion of divisional
head is taken into account while considering a promotion this capacity, to supervise his job
knowledge is also considered.

Managing Director sign the promotion order after the recommendation by the personnel &
Administration department.

Transfer
Transfer is the pre-relative right of the mgt. Transfer is done if it is necessary for the
organization.

Transfer is generally affected to build up a more satisfactory work team & to achievement
some purpose.

In Amul for transfer take place in flash season. Transfers are also to adjust the work forces of
one plant with the another.

Wage & Salary Administration


Attendance is considered to be one of the major & important factor responsible for the
Wage & Salary Administration.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 58


Common method is followed for the Wage & Salary Administration the present catalogue
record received from the time keeping office. The present record is maintained to each
employee in the register, which is known as master roll.

Timekeeper sends this master roll to the account dept. Attendance of each & every employee
is analyzed & entered into the computer. The record is scrutinized and statutory and non-
statutory deductions are made after this salary is calculated for each employee through
computer.

The wages are paid in cash & also credited in corporate salary a/c. Employee wages are
deducted according to grades of workers. Amul has A,B,C,D,E,F grade of workers.

Job Description
Job Description is an important document, which is basically descriptive in nature and
contains a statement of job analysis. it defines the scope of job activities major
responsibilities & positioning of job in organization. It provided the worker, analysist &
supervisor with a clear idea of what the work must do to meet the demands of the job.

In other words Job Description is rules & regulation regarding different jobs.

In Amul those who are at senior Level make job description regarding managerial position.
These are some limitation regarding job description in future one may say that, I have to done
what is mention in job description to avoid this problems. They are not providing job
description to all except managerial levels.

As well as job description is helpful because one is clear about their work. No problem arise
in future.

Performance Appraisal
The performance appraisal system is a process of evaluation of employees performance on a
jobs in loans of it’s recruitment. It is also known as assessment of behaviour performance and
attitude of an employees.

The value, excellence, spirit, qualities of status of some subjects of performance appraisal is
quite useful in various administrative decision as training, transfer, promotion etc.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 59


In GCMMF there is very good performance appraisal system and the management of unit is
good and profitability is very high.

Social & Welfare Activities

Every units success depends upon the regulatory and sincerity of the employees. The
GCMMF is already regular in paying amount of salaries to employees satisfactority for their
contribution in unit. The GCMMF has take many efforts in the welfare activities provided to
their staff and employees are as mentions.
 Hospital Facility
 Canteen Facility
 Uniform Facility
 Leave Facility
 Loan Facility
 Accident Benefits Scheme

 Cleaning, Washing, Sweeping

Total Employees and Time Keeping System


Total Employee:
The success of the Amul depends upon their excellent team spirit and confidence of people in
the personnel dept. The total employee of GCMMF is 750.

Working Hours

In Amul dairy there are three shifts in one day. All the shifts has eight hours. So the work of
this union of the milk product are continuously and never stops. Therefore the union has
produce maximum stock of this products. The timing of three shifts and office time are as
follows:

“Amul – The Taste of India” 60


1st Shift : 8:00a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT

Production Process

Introduction
Explosion of the production technology and changes in technical field is going to bring out
revolution in the industry sector which eventually gives stand to study and favour the
comebacking subject i.e. production and management.

Computers has evolved as a growing force with which operations managers tremendously use
for various purposes i.e. starting from cost reductions purposes management has been
enormously up graded to more higher level.

Production and operation management is planning, organizing, staffing, directing and


controlling of all the production system those portion of organization that convert inputs into
products and services. In the general production system take raw-materials, personnel,
machines, buildings and other resources and produce products and services. Moreover
outputs i.e. products and services which generate revenues and perpetuate the system are not
only the concentrated things but also the over looked indirect outputs like axes, wages and
pollution, technological advances, wages and salaries and community are today looked over
as important output.

The core of production system is its conversion subsystem where in workers materials are to
covert inputs in to products and services. This production department is at heart of the firm’s
workers and capital assets are engaged and it is able to produce low cost products and
superior quality in timely manners.

Thus there arises enormous need of giving rise to this department as whole and function as an
individual with strong concrete base being foundation pillars of a manufacturing organization
if the intention is to succeed nationally and internationally.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 62


Plant Layout

Plant layout is the overall arrangement of the machine tools, handling equipments, storeroom,
tool aribs and other various accessories required for facilitating production in a factory. This
arrangement are preplanned with the results that the building has been constructed to fit a
layout of a given process.

GCMMF plant is indigenously worked out with facilitation of various production process and
production of multi products under one plant. The total plot is near about 2.27 kms. separate
buildings are provide with required arrangement of machine tools handling and computers
connection through the control room to fit for varying product manufacturing department.

The plant is engaged in producing milk, ice-creams, milk powder and ghee substantial
department is uniquely provide for the processing of each product. There are 4 production
department and packaging departments pertaining to each products respectively. Also the
strong of each particular is possible in the same. A fluent plant is proven to dispose off the
wastes and remainders water.

The plant also envisage a beautiful garden which cleans up the air and keeps the climate
pleasant. A parking at the right place has been provided for the outsiders and also for the
employees.

The plant is on the end of a large provident with 2 sides round and a beautiful lawn in the
division. At the front security guards cabin which grants the entry for specific tankers,
employees, visitors etc. visitors have to get approval from the office before head to get entry
in the plant. The office of the plant stands left a the pavement ends.
Thus plant layout encompasses all production and services facilities and provides for the
most effective utilization of the men, materials and machines constituting the process. It is
the master blue print of coordinating all operations.
A good layout results in elimination or minimization of accidents and hazards and cost while
increases the output . thus a good layout specifically is observed to be benefited on the
following grounds:

 Efforts minimization
 Fewer material handling will be provided manufacturing units cost will be lover
 Bottlenecking of production will be eliminated

“Amul – The Taste of India” 63


 Total item in process will be less
 Specialization of operations is facilitated
 Less inspection will be required
 Production control will be easier to achieve
 Plant investment can be held to the necessary minimum
 Plant and equipment obsolescence may be less
 Wastage space will be eliminated

Thus a true beneficiary is provided to the plant through good and sound planning for plant
layout.

Sources Of Raw Material

The one and only raw materials on which the dairy plant function is milk. And as Gujarat has
abundant livestock especially cows & Buffalos, availability of the raw material.

Lower level or primary level milk producer’s co-operative make a collection of milk from
members producers. members producers are the farmers owing cows or buffalos. They bring
milk to primary level societies. The picture on the next page shows the collection of milk
through member producers standing in queue. An account of every member producer is
maintained which contains the details regarding the fat content, quality and quantity of goods
time of collection& the payment due or outstanding.

In case of quality of the co-operative must be alert so as to neglect the collection of sour milk
and substandard milk.

For pricing collected milk importance is given to quality. The milk’s prices is based on fat
and snuff i.e. solid non – fat content. it needs to consider the bacterial population in the milk
for raw paying milk price. Payment is done on monthly or daily basis depending upon co-
operating policy and member preference.

This milk is proportionally distributed and brought to various milk processing plant
GCMMF is also the same.

Operating Analysis

As is mentioned is sources of raw materials the one and only source from where they procure
milk are village milk societies. Milk is brought on from such village milk societies every
morning and evening. This milk is then to the dairy plant. It is here in the dairy plant the milk
is processed i.e. it is made free from germs.

Milk Processing

The entire process of milk can b divided into following steps:

1. Collection of Raw Milk

Raw milk is collected from different co-operative societies of different 470 village of Gujarat.
About 122000 liters of raw milk is collected per day.

Before this milk is sent to the laboratory for tasting the ‘FAT & SNF’ proportion, the milk is
separated from the raw milk.

The milk is taken from the chilling centers to Ahmedabad with the help of 407 trucks. Inside
and outside of the tankers the thermocol is to be put. Because of the thermocols the milk is
not affect by the outside environment.

After collecting the samples of milk are taken to the laboratory. Where two types of tests are
conduct.

Electronic milk test


Methyline blue reduction test

Electronic Milk Test:

“Amul – The Taste of India” 67


Before pasteurizing the milk the samples are taken to the laboratory. In the laboratory with
the help of machine called electronic milk test, the proportion of SNF & FAT 2.2 m.l. of
phesphatic solution becomes yellow than it is sent for pasteurization.

Methyline blue reduction test:

Another test which is taken in the laboratory is called Methyline blue reduction test. This test
is conducted for checking for how long the milk will remain fresh. To check this, 10 ml of
milk is taken and 1 ml of methline blue solution is added to it. It is then kept in the test under
water bath 57 degree C. after one hour, if the solution losses its colour than it is called raw
milk.

If the solution remains the same even after 5 hours than it is considered as a fresh milk which
remains constant for a long period of time.

The proportion of FAT & SAF is fixed by the dairy. The minimum proportion of SNF
decided for the first grade buffalo is 6% and for cow it is 4.5% .

We consider if as fixed rate. We further explain it by as under:

MILK OF SNF FAT


Buffalo 9% 6%
Cow 8.5% 4.5%

After laboratory gives green signal and confirming the raw milk at the reception dock is
brought in to the house connected with the pump is sent to the milk processing plant. This is
than chilled below 4 degree C. and then stored in milk silos. After that milk is processed
which has two steps i.e . pasteurizing and standardizing .

2. Pasteurising & standardizing:

After collecting and checking and conducting laboratory tests the pasteurizing process is
conducted. To pasteurizing the milk means to kill all the germs in

The milk by a particular method which was invented by a scientist called James Paseure and
so the name pasteurization.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 68


In pasteurizing the milk is first heated at 72 C to 76 C far 15 second and then it is
immediately cooled below 4 C. By this method they destroy the pathogenic bacteria present
in the raw milk. But if the right degree of temperature is not provided there are chances that
the milk might still contain germs.

After this process some milk goes to separator machine and remaining is proportionately sent
for standardization.

Standardization process is know as such as it bifurcates the milk in 3 categories varying


according to that FAT & SNF contents. The equipment named OSTA ---- Auto
standardization adjusts the fat directly. The computer is just ordered whether gold or
standard milk is to be rationed and the same will be received with appropriate contents.

Ready Milk = Pasteurized + standardized.

3. Separation process:

Separator machine separates two kinds of products, skimmed milk & cream, through
channels. There are 100 disks fixed in separator machines which has 5000 RPN (revolution
per minute). It is taken to the tanks to the tanks which has the capacity of 20000 liters. There
are total 8 insulated tanks in the dairy. The milk in every tanks has different position of
‘SNF’.

Whenever the milk is needed from the tank, it is tasted in the laboratory and the deficit
proportion fat is added by mixing cream. This process continue for 24 hours.

4 Quality Check:

Pasteurized milk is sent for a quality check in the QUALITY ASSURANCE lab. Of the
dairy plant. Within 14 second FAT and SNF proportion is received regarding 30 lacks liters
of milk. The total investment put into the lab by the Dairy plant is of RS. 6 crores.

This laboratory only check and analyses the powder and milk and ghee. There is a separate
ice-cream analyzing laboratory.

5 Packing Process:

“Amul – The Taste of India” 69


After this the milk is sent for packing to the milk packing station in the dairy plant. In the
milk packaging station there are huge pipelines and behind each of them there is polyfill
machine from which the material to pack milk comes out. There are 12 such polyfill
machines in the packaging station from which the materials to pack milk comes out. From
each of these 12 machines 100 pouches are packed in one single minute. Per day each
machines having capacity of 50000 pouches. The materials which is used for packaging is
called fill farm slip and it is manufactured by a firm called.

6. Storage:

Then the milk is sent to the cold storage of the dairy where the milk is stored until it is
dispatched. Here the milk is stored at temperature ranging from 5 C to 10 C, it is
maintained with the help of exhaust fans having silicon chips. To maintain the temperature
for refrigerator amenia is used. About 40000 liters of milk is dispatched from the cold
storage of the dairy plant everyday.

The damaged pouches are kept a side and the milk is once again put to the tank.

Milk Powder

When there is excess supply of milk convert some of the excess milk into milk powder. For
converting milk powder first of all 505 of water is evaporated plant/condensing plant. By this
process they get condensed milk, it is used as a raw-materials.

There after the milk is sent to the drying plant. The spray drying plant is huge in size with a
height of 70 feet abd which of 20 feet. The plant is divided into many floors to enables easy
use of the plant. First of all the raw0materials i.e. condensed milk is put into the first floor of
the plant along with air at 200 C. by this process the remaining water which the condensed
milk might have retained is also evaporated and milk comes as powder but this is not the last
stage.

This powder is again put in to a machine is called milk calendaria, where it is turned in to real
milk powder. Its capacity is 15 minutes 1000 liters. Then again this milk powder is put into a
Dense Waise Vessel. Here the lumps are removed and uniform milk powder is sent up.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 70


After the processing the powder is sent for quality checking at quality assurance laboratory.
After the quality confirms, this milk powder is then differentiated by adding differentiated by
adding different flavour to them like elaichi flavour, chocolate flavour & sugar free milk
powder. Thereafter they are packed in tins and boxes. Afterwards it is stored at storage
department (Torage Plant).

In summer the milk production is tremendously increased.

Butter Oil (Ghee)

After milk separation milk scanning is done. Here excess of cream is extracted form the milk
through cream separators. The scanning of milk is done till they get 99% fat and than it is
changed in to ghee.

The separated and scanned ghee is than sent for quality testing in QAL. After it confirm to
the laid standard after checking ghee is sent for packaging.

The packaging is done in tin cans or pouches like that of milk and marketed under the brand
name of Amul Ghee. The packed ghee is standard in the ghee storage department.

DISPATCH

Pollution
Unlike many other units this unit has a its own affluent to be released per day set by the
GPCB is 1,20,000 liters of affluent per day. Entire the ratio of milk. Affluent in this plant was
1:1:2.but modernization and automation of the unit has now reduced. it affluent generation
capacity of the unit. Now it is only 700 cubic liters per day compared to1,20,000 liters earlier.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 72


Besides the air pollution by the unit is also minimums as far pollution is concerned this unit
has a faire well in fulfilling its social responsibility towards the whole society.

1. Machines & Equipments:

Machines are the important factors of production which is highly involved in conversion or
processing of raw material into semi finished or consumable finished goods.this machines is
used to scan the qualities of milk the percentage of far, solid not fat. And it takes just 14
second for this purpose. The machines cost around Rs.30,00,000.

2. Polyfill Machine:

The polyfill machine helps to pack the milk into the pouches of various sizes. One such
machines can pack 100 pouches of milk in one single minute.

3. Milk Separator:

this machine is used in the production of ghee. The raw-material put into the surplus cream
crtracted while processing milk. And from this cream, the machine keeps extracting water out
of it until they get 99% fat.

4. Milk Calendria:

This machines is used in the production of milk powder. It is used to turn milk in to milk
powder. It is kept in the boiler plant of the unit.

5. Dense Waise Vessel:

This machine is also used in the production of milk powder. After the milk is converted into
milk powder it helps to move the lumps form the milk powder.

Other Machines & Equipments are as under:

 Milk tanker
 Electronic Milk Tester
 Packeging machine

“Amul – The Taste of India” 73


 Milk Siolos
 Hoses & Pipeline for supply for milk
 Spray dying Machine
 Boiler and Furnaces
 Condersors
 Milk Scanner
 Pasteurising Machine
 Lab Equipment

It is observed that the technical know how is purchased from L&T, while some of the
machine are exported from out sided country. Ice creams manufacturing equipment are
purchase from Akta Co., Italy while pouch-packing machine are purchase from France.

GCMMF is an automated fully computerized plant. The benefits that are arrived to GCMMF
due to automation are;

 Increased machine efficiency


 Improved quality of products
 Reduction of accidents
 Conversation of manpower
 Decrease in time of process
 Reduction of process inventory & working capital required
 Reduction in cost per unit of production manufacturing
 Lower cost and higher outputs

Other Departments

(A) Quality Assurance Laboratory:

Quality can be defined in narrow sense as ‘freedom from defect’. However quality has a
direct impact on product performance and hence on customer satisfaction.

GCMMF’S quality assurance laboratory all its products are tested for their respective
qualities e.g. for assuring the quality of milk there is a machine called milk scan which scans

“Amul – The Taste of India” 74


the quality of milk within 14 seconds. The machine is a fully automatic one and so it cost the
unit RS.30 lakh. The whole laboratory itself was get us with an investment of RS. 6 crores.
All the activities of the laboratory are controlled from a control room which controls all the
activities by a computer.

(B) Milk Packing Station:

The primary function of packaging is done to contain & protect the product. In olden days
milk used to be distributed in the bottles. But as they broke very often and also due to the
difficult in transporting them now a days usually milk is packed in plastic pouches of 500 m.l.

GCMMF there is a big milk packaging station. here there are big pipelines through which
milk comes out to be packed and behind each such pipeline there is a pollyfill machine. There
are 12 such polyfill machine in the plant and each of these machines can pack 100 pouches of
milk per minute. The material used for packing is called fillfarmslip. It is a product
manufactured by a company called prepack. The unit of mother dairy itself also has a plastic
film manufacturing plant in GIDC Gandhinagar.

(C) Cold Storage:

As soon as milk is packed it cannot be distributed by the wholesalers to the various retail
outlets because it takes time to reach out and besides the time at which the milk is to be made
available to the customers has also to be considered. Therefore during that gap the milk is
stared in a cold storage of the unit. The temperature in the cold storage ranges from 5C to
10C. and in the night when it is time to distribute the milk, the milk is dispatched from here
in big trucks. Among 4,00,000 liters of milk is dispatched from per day.

(D) Spray Drying Plant:

In this plant the excess milk is converted into milk powder. For this first of all 50% water is
evaporated from the milk in an evaporating plant/ condensing plant. This condensed milk is
used as a raw material in the spray plant. The spray drying plant is huge in size measuring 70
feet high and 20 feet. This plant is divided in to some floors to enable easy handling. First
the condensed milk is put in to the first floor of the plant along with air at 200C.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 75


And so the remaining water room which controls all the activities of the spray drying plant
like maintaining various levels of temperature etc. by a computer.

(E) Boiler:

The plant is equipped with large boiler in which a furnace is used to, make steam. I.e. heating
water at 90 C to 95 C and this in turn is used to heat milk. The boiler is huge 4-stored plant
the activities of which are completely controlled by a computerized control room. This plant
includes a machine called milk calendaria where milk is turned to milk powder. The plant
also contains a machine called a Dense Waise Vessel which removes the lumps from the milk
powder and this fine milk powder is then sent to Rilo, which is a milk powder storage tank.

Marketing Aspects Of Dairy Industry

India’s diary market is multi-layered, shaped like as pyramid with the base made up of vast
market for low cost milk. The narrow tip at the top is a small but affluent market for western
type milk products. The bulk of demand for milk, however is among the poor in urban areas
where individual requirement is small may be a glassful for use as whitener for their tea.
Nevertheless, it adds upto a sizeable volume of millions of litres per day in major urban
centres where lays the immense growth potential for the modern sector. Presently, its milk
distribution network serves hardly 778 out of 3700 cities and towns, dispensing hygienically
segment would double in the next five years.

Following readings are important to understand the market structure of dairy industry and
what is projected for 2000 A.D.

1. Urban V/s rural market:

“Amul – The Taste of India” 78


In 1995 out of the total milk production 44% was retained in rural areas for 72.2% of
population; where as 58% of milk was brought to the urban areas for 27.8% population.
By 2000 A.D. the rural to urban ratio is projected to be 40:60. It is evident of urban bias in
the milk market.

2. Organised V/s unorganized sector:

Despite of the fact that under OF (Operation Flood) programme, the emphasis was given
on developing organised sector was only 18% in the total milk that was marketed in the
urban area. Its share is projected to increase 22% by 2000 A.D.

The index for plant capacity is also showing a rising trend for organised sector. The plant
capacity is 1950’s was around 10,000-20,000 litre per day, it increased to 1,00,000
income per day in 1970’s to 5,00,000 income per day in 1980’s and to 1 mega litre/day in
1990’s.

3. Co-operative V/s government and private sector:


Within the organised sector the ratio of co-operative V/s governments department to
private sector was 60:40. This ratio is likely to be 50:50 by 2000 A.D. as new private
sector dairies are entering in the market as a result of policy of liberalization.

The proportion of liquid milk to other milk products in co-operative and government
sector was 90:10. The estimation is this ratio will change to 80:20 and 30:70 for co-
operative and private sector respectively. This is an indication of growing market of other
milk products in the country.

 Pricing

PRICE MIX

What is Pricing?
The amount of money charged for a product or service, on the sum of the values that
consumer exchange for the benefit of having the product or service.

In general price is the amount of money charged for a product or service. Historically price
has been the major factor affecting buyers choice. Price is one of the flexible element of the
price mix.

This is the marketing strategy by which companies set price of their product by which they
can decide to when they should target in the market and how to position themselves in the
market. Therefore the company have three choices:

1. Setting a uniform price:


In this strategy the company would have as same price of each product in each region or
each sector of the market. This would result in the price being too high in poor countries and
not too high in rich countries.

2. Setting a market based price:


Here the company would set a price in such a way that every consumer can afford it but this
ignores differences in the actual cost from one market another.

3. Setting a cost based price:


Here company would use a standard mark up of its cost everywhere but this strategy price the
company can be out of the market where it cost is high.

Most producers work with marketing intermediaries to bring their products to market. The
marketing intermediaries make up a marketing channel also called distribution cannel.

Distribution channels are sets of interdependent organizations involved in the process of


making a product or service available for use or consumption.

selling directly to the final customers.

A one level channel; contain one selling intermediary such as retailer to the final customers.
A two level channel two intermediaries are typically wholesaler and retailer.

flood water situations appear in these situations demand of milk may go high.

In the case of GCMMF, it has been observed that sales forecast is on the bases of projection
made by utilizing past sales data.

part of a product and branding and value to a product. For example, most consumer would

MICHALE PORTER`S FIVE FORCE ANALYSIS

• According to Porter (1980) a firm must be analyzed in relation to its industry. Factors
outside the industry tend to influence all the industry’s firms in the same way and are
thus not as important to study.

• To a large extent, industry structure governs the strategies open to the firms. The
profitability and attractiveness of an industry is dependent of the level of competition.
Competition in an industry originates from industry structure and goes well beyond
the behavior of individual competitors.

• According to Porter, each industry has a potential profitability and the profitability for
the firms is dependent on the competitive forces in the industry. Porter identifies five
competitive forces that derive from the ambition to obtain as large share of the
profitability as possible. The five forces are the foundation of the five-force model.

Porter’s Five-Force Model:


In coping with the five forces, there are three potentially successful generic strategic
approaches to outperform other firms in an industry:

“Amul – The Taste of India” 128


Overall cost leadership:

• The firm commits it self to being the cheapest alternative. Cost reduction must be
applied throughout the firm. The cost leader competes head on with all other firms in
the industry. Favourable history with first mover advantages

• Amul dairy face tremendous level of competition. Further there is old and
conventional culture still exists in the Amul dairy. Every is trying to capture other’s
pie in the market share. Every day each player comes out with the new strategies and
innovative products. They always diffentiate their brand with those of competitors.

• The major competitors of the Amul dairy include:

 FOR MILK

I. Gayatri
II. Royal
III. Sardar

“Amul – The Taste of India” 129


IV. Uttam
V. Shreshta

 FOR ICE CREAM:


I. Vadilal
II. Havmore
III. Dairy den

 FOR GHEE:
I. Gayatri
II. Nestle

 FOR MILK POWDER:


Nestle

 FOR CHOCOLATE:
I. Nestle
II. Cadbury

The success of the national and local competitor’s brands includes effective
distribution system, advertising, good pricing policy etc. The major porter’s factor
can be listed and described in context of Amul dairy such as

1) Threats of new entrants


2) Bargaining power of suppliers
3) Bargaining power of buyers
4) Rivalry among competitors
5) Threats substitutes

Above factor can be shortly briefly known by following points.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 130


1) Threats Of New Entrants :

• Amul dairy is co-operative society. That means “cooperation among


competitive” is the fundamental principle. Amul dairy is managed under the
norms of GCMMF and market the products under the brand name ‘Amul’,
which has good reputation at domestic and international level. Here, the raw
material procurement is very difficult for the new entrants. Consequently
Capital requirement is also high. Still new entrants are emerging such as
domestic and international players. So the treats of new entrants are moderate.
• Government rules and regulation are not favourable for new entrants. Raw
material is also depending on the villagers who are mostly depend on good
rain. In the seasonal uncertainties will also restrict the new entrants to
establish the new plant.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 131


2) Bargaining power of supplier :

• The objective of Amul dairy is not profit making. As it is a part of co-


operative society, it runs for the benefit of farmers those are the supplier of
milk and users of milk product. According the concept of the cooperative
society supplier has bargaining power to have a good return on his or her
supply. However, supplier has limited rights to bargain with the cooperative
society because it made and run for the sake of mass not for individual
benefit.
• There is moderate bargaining power of the supplier. In olden days there were
not any kind of cooperative societies as the farmer was exploited. But,
nowadays the farmer’s right has been protected under the cooperative rules
and regulations, which ultimately result in moderate power of bargaining from
the supplier.

3) Bargaining power of buyers :

• Amul dairy is having state of the art technology bring down from Denmark
German. And except loose milk vendor mother dairy is the single district level
seller of the milk. However the Amul dairy is bound by the norms of
federation. So, the pricing policy will be decided only by GCMMF and
customer would have not have bargaining power. In nutshell, the bargaining

power of the buyer is low.

4) Rivalry among competitors:

• The products of the most of dairy which are listed under the Gujarat
cooperative milk marketing federation are marketed under the one unique
name ‘Amul’. Though, it is not having competition from the domestic level.
Amul dairy which is at the state level faces the competion from Nestle,
Britania, Gayatri dairy, sugam, Dairy dan. The major competitor of the Amul

“Amul – The Taste of India” 132


in ice-cream category is HLL’s kwality wall’s.Although, dairy is not having
tough competition from the local players but international level it is exist.

5) Threats Of Substitute :

• Most of the milk and milk products substitute are very low. Milk powder can
be taken as a close substitute for the milk. In case of the ice-cream category
the close substitute is cold drink and soft drinks. So, the substitute of the milk
and milk product is completely low.

SWOT Analysis of GCMMF

 STRENGTHS:

Demand profile: Absolutely optimistic


 Margins: Quite reasonable, even on packed liquid milk.
 Flexibility of product mix: Tremendous. With balancing equipment, you can keep on
adding
to your product line.
 Availability of raw material: Abundant. Presently, more than 80% of milk produced is
flowing into the unorganized sector, which requires proper channelization.
 Technical manpower: Professionally-trained, technical human resource pool, built over
last
30 years.

 WEAKNESSES:

Parishability:
Pasteurization has overcome this weakness partially. UHT gives milk long life. Surely,
many new processes will follow to improve milk quality and extend its shelf life.
Lack of control over yield: Theoretically, there is little control over milk yield.
However, increased awareness of development like embryo transplant, artificial
insemination and properly managed animal husbandry practices, coupled with higher
income to rural milk producers should automatically lead to improvement in milk yields.

 Logistics of procurement:
Woes of bad roads and inadequate transportation facility make milk procurement
problematic. But with the overall economic improvement in India, these problems would
also get solved.

 Problematic distribution:
Yes, all is not will with distribution. But then if ice creams can be sold virtually at every
nook and corner, why can’t they sell other dairy products too? Moreover, it is only a

“Amul – The Taste of India” 134


matter of time before they see the emergence of a cold chain linking the producer to the
refrigerator at the consumer’s home.

 Competition:
With so many newcomers entering this industry, competition is becoming tougher day
by day. But then competition has to be faced as a ground reality. The market is large
enough for many to carve out their niche.

 OPPORTUNITIES:

“Failure is never final and success never ending.” Dr. Kurien bears out this statement
perfectly. He entered the industry when there are only threats. He met failure head-on and
now he clearly is an example of “ Never ending success.” If dairy entrepreneurs are looking
for opportunities in India, the following areas must be tapped.

 Value addition:
There is a phenomenal scope for innovations in product development, packaging and
presentation. Given below are potential areas of value addition.

Steps should be taken to introduce value addition products like shrikhand, ice-cream,
panner, khoa, favored milk etc. This will lead to a greater presence and flexibility in the
market place along with opportunities in the field of brand building.

Addition cultured product like yoghurt and cheese lend further strength both in terms of
utilization of resources and presence in the market place.

A lateral view opens up opportunities in milk proteins thro’ casein, caseinates and other
dietary protein, future opening up export opportunities.

Yet another aspect can be addition of infant foods geriatric foods and nutritionals.
 Export potential:
Efforts to exploit export potential are already on. Amul is exporting to Bangladesh,
Srilanka, Nigeria, and Middle East. Following the new GATT treaty, opportunities will

“Amul – The Taste of India” 135


increase tremendously for the export of agri-products in general and dairy products in
particular.

 THREATS:

Milk vendors, The un-organized sector


Today milk vendor are occupying the pride of place in the industry. Organized dissemination
of information about the harm that they are doing to producers and consumers should see a
steady decline in their importance.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 136


CHALLENGES TO BE MET

Expansion up grading of plant and equipment to meet increasing demanded for quality and
quantity with the help of better qualified personnel.

Rapid increase in productivity while respecting the basic man land animal dynamic that is
control to dairy and agriculture development in India.

Development of new markets and expansion of old ones replacing additional system with
quality packaged milk products and vegetable.

Creating a national information network to ensure that accurate timely information is


available to all who need it.

Rapid progress towards the highest quality standard strengthens institutions leaders,
managers and members.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 137


RECOMMENDATION
Suggestion to Production department

1) Sources of raw materials the one and only source from where they procure milk are
village milk societies so they need to strengthen relation with villagers.
2) Department must have to develop strict standard for Quality control milk because
milk is perishable product so advance testing lab is required.
3) Though the good technology used by the dairy advance and automated technology
will be introduce to lower the rate of exposure of the product to human being.
4) All the workers should be allowed with good safety.
5) Sanitation shall be kept clean and hygienic.

Suggestion to marketing department


1) The Company should adopt scientific ways to allocate and manage the resources
for advertisements and sales promotion so as to gain optimum results
2) Amul should design it’s own marketing research system. It should hire people to
carry out systematic market research and surveying the following areas.
- To know consumer taste, preferences and their consumption and buying
pattern.
- Before launching new products in the market.
- Retailers and distributors survey from time to time to know competitors tricks
and practices as well as the satisfaction level.
3) Instead of advertising on national level, one more option that the company should try for
promotion of its brands is to give add on local cable TV network.
4) There should be no gaps in products like more flavor, more scheme, reasonable price etc to
compete the local players as well as competitors.

Suggestion to H.R. department

1) There should be professional approach.


2) They should provide professional training to field force for specific time period for
sharpening selling skills.

“Amul – The Taste of India” 138


FUTURE PROSPECTS for Dairy Industry
India’s dairy sector is expected to triple its production in the next 10 years in view of
expanding to triple its production in the next 10 years in view of expanding potential for
export to Europe. More over with WTO regulation 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 products sector. Also India today if
the low cost producer of milk in the world at 27% compare with U.S, 63% and Japan $2.8.
Also to take advantage of this low cost of milk production and increasing production in the
country. MNC are planning to expand their activities. Some of the milk producer have
already obtain quality standard certificate from the authorities this will help them in
marketing their products in foreign countries.

The urban market for milk products is expected to grow at 33% p.a to around Rs. 43500 crore
by year 2005. This growth is going to come from the greater emphasize on the processed
food sector and also increased in the conversion of milk into milk products. By 2005 the
value of Indian dairy produce is expected to be Rs. 10 lac million. Presently the market is
valued at around Rs. 700000 million.

CONCLUSION

Our overall impression about the unit and GCMMF is inexpressible. In this report after
analyzing we can conclude that “GCMMF” is progressive very rapidly in the Indian market.
The performance of the unit is very impressive in the past year. Though there is tough
competition with Britannia, Nestle, Vadilal, Havemore etc. It has shown a good progress.
According to Amul and GCMMF organization – MARG surveys GCMMF remarked 24th last
year among the top 60 industry in India.

In present Amul is become popular as The Taste of India. 50 years is a very big time for any
brand to establish itself successfully in the market. This give us golden opportunity to know
all functional area of amul. We know about the products of GCMMF, their quality, packaging
and price. The product of GCMMF demanded at very large scale because of their very
reasonable price.

Marketing of GCMMF made it so popular. Under the guidance of Dr. Vergees Kurein Mother
Dairy is growing day by day.

Hope and wise that the success story of AMUL going forever and other industries should take
inspiration from this successfully story.

We are sure and confident that successor capable and innovative my best wishes for future
success of the industry is an important part of our visit.
