FMCG:- Industry
Overview
Indian FMCG sector size poised to reach US$ 47 bn by 2013 and
US$ 74 bn by 2018, growing annually at 10-12%.
By 2025, total consumption is likely to quadruple making
India the 5th largest consumer market. Organized retail is
expected to grow by 14-18% by 2015 thereby boosting FMCG
growth
. Indian rural market currently worth US$ 9 bn is expected to
become a US$ 100 bn opportunity by 2025
Indian FMCG industry worth US$ 29 bn roughly constitutes
2.2% of India‘s GDP. Within the FMCG sector, Food products are
the largest consumption category
. Strategic focus on rural marketing, innovations, niche
consumer segments, exports
, Life style products to further the current 10% annual sector
growth.
Dairy industry: A profile (As
per Jan 20, 2011)
India is the world leader in milk production with total volume of
115 million tons. Driven by steady population growth and rising
income, milk consumption continues to rise in India. Dairy
market is currently growing at an annual growth rate of around 7
per cent in volume terms. The market size of Indian dairy
industry stands at around US$ 45 billion. Since India‘s population
is predominantly vegetarian; milk serves as an important part of
daily diet. Indians use milk in various preparations such as in
brewing tea and coffee, in making yogurt or curd and in
preparing many Indian dishes. For most households, milk is also
a popular beverage due to its nutritional value. In India, rural
households consume almost 50 percent of total milk production.
Of the share of milk sold in the domestic market, almost 50
percent is consumed in fluid form, 35 percent is consumed as
traditional products (cheese, yoghurt and milk based sweets),
and 15 percent is consumed for the production of butter, ghee,
milk powder and other processed dairy products (including baby
foods, ice cream, whey powder, casein, and milk albumin). Most
dairy products are consumed in the fresh form and only a small
quantity is processed for value addition. In recent years,
however, the market for branded processed food products has
expanded. Although only around 2 per cent food is processed in
India, still the highest processing happens in the dairy sector,
where 35 per cent of the total produce is processed, of which
only 13 per cent is processed by the organised sector
KEY FACTS
65 per cent of the milk is sold in loose‖ form
Only 5 per cent of the milk is sold through retail chains
70 per cent is delivered to the homes by ‗milk agents‘
Carton milk or packaged milk has been growing at 24 per cent
annually
Most branded FMCG companies are keen on launching
flavoured dairy products whose market size is pegged at US$ 166
million

BRIEF HISTORY OF AMUL
AMUL (Anand Milk Union Limited), formed in 1946, is a dairy
cooperative movement in
India. It is a brand name managed by an apex cooperative
organization, Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation Lt.
(GCMMF), which today is jointly owned by some 2.6 million milk
producers in Gujarat, India.
AMUL is based in Anand, Gujarat and has been a sterling
example of a co-operative organization's success in the long
term. It is one of the best examples of co-operative achievement
in the developing world.
"Anyone who has seen ... the dairy cooperatives in the state of
Gujarat, especially the highly successful one known as AMUL,
will naturally wonder what combination of influences and
incentives is needed to multiply such a model a thousand times
over in developing regions everywhere.
‖ The Amul Pattern has established itself as a uniquely
appropriate model for rural development. Amul has spurred the
White Revolution of India, which has made India the largest
producer of milk and milk products in the world. It is also the
world's biggest vegetarian cheese brand.
Amul is the largest food brand in India and world's Largest
Pouched Milk Brand with an annual turnover of US $1050 million
(2006-07). Currently Amul has 2.6 million producer members
with milk collection average of 10.16 million litres per day.
Besides India, Amul has entered overseas markets such as
Mauritius, UAE, USA, Bangladesh, Australia, China, Singapore,
Hong Kong and a few South African countries. Its bid to enter
Japanese market in 1994 had not succeeded, but now it has
fresh plans of flooding the Japanese markets. Other potential
markets being considered include Sri Lanka.
Dr Verghese Kurien, former chairman of the GCMMF, is
recognized as the man behind the success of Amul. On 10 Aug
2006 Parthi Bhatol, chairman of the Banaskantha Union, was
elected chairman of GCMMF.
AMUL : THE ORIGIN
The mighty Ganges at its origin is but a tiny stream in the
Gangotri ranges ofthe Himalayas. Similar is the story of Amul
which inspired Operation Flood and heralded the 'White
Revolution' in India. It began with two village cooperatives and
250 liters of milk per day, nothing but a trickle compared to the
flood it has become today. Today Amul collects processes and
distributes over a million liters of milk and milk products per day,
during the peak, on behalf of more than a thousand village
cooperatives owned by half a million farmer members.
COMPANY PROFILE OF
AMUL
AMUL means "priceless" in Sanskrit. The brand name "Amul,"
from the Sanskrit "Amoolya," was suggested by a quality control
expert in Anand. Variants, all meaning "priceless", are found in
several Indian languages. Amul products have been in use in
millions of homes since 1946. Amul Butter, Amul Milk Powder,
Amul Ghee, Amulspray, Amul Cheese, Amul Chocolates, Amul
Shrikhand, Amul Ice cream, Nutramul, Amul Milk and Amulya
have made Amul a leading food brand in India. (Turnover: Rs.
52.55 billion in 2007-08). Today Amul is a symbol of many things.
Of high-quality products sold at reasonable prices
. 50 years after it was first launched, Amul's sale figures have
jumped from 1000 tonnes a year in 1966 to over 25,000 tonnes a
year in 1997. No other brand comes even close to it. All because
a thumb-sized girl climbed on to the hoardings and put a magical
spell on the masse
AMUL stands for
, A = Anand
M = Milk
U = Union
L = Limited
Amul (Anand milk union ltd.) is abased on four hands, which are
coordinated with each other. The actual meaning of this symbol
is co-ordination of four hands of different people by whom this
union is at the top position in Asia.
First hand is of farmers, without whom the organization would
not have existed.
Second hand is of processors, who process the row material
(milk)into finished goods Third hand is of marketer, without
whom the product would have not reached the customers
Fourth hand is of customers, without whom the products would
have not carried on.

PROFITABLE MARKETING
– The preferred dairy animal is the buffalo. Some 65 % of the
world buffalo milk is produced in India. Value for its high fat
content is 7% w.r.t. 3.5% that of cow. It is also high in calcium,
phosphorous, lactose & proteins. Thus Buffaloes milk is the delight
of the milk processing for its more profitable handling
. Amul was formed on Dec. 14, 1946 by an apex co-operative
organization, Gujarat Cooperative Milk Organization ( GCMMF
).Amul based in Anand, Gujarat has been a sterling example of a
co-operative organization‘s success in the long run. It was
suggested by quality control experts. Amul has spurred the
Operation Flood of India, which has made India the largest
producer of milk & milk products in the world.
Dr. Verghese Kurien former chairman of the GCMMF is
recognized as the man behind the success of AMUL. On
10 August 2006 Parth Bhatol was elected chairman of GCMMF.
Amul is an embodiment of faith in the ability of our
farmers to break the shackles of poverty & to create a socio-
economic revolution in rural India. Through the ‗Anand Pattern‘,
our farmers demonstrated to the world, the key to successful
‗Management Of Development‘. Anand Pattern is an innovative
three tier structure combines the hard working farmers with
professional management & modern technology.
Slowly & gradually Amul has also expanded its
distribution network across the country. Currently, there are
3,500 distributors for value added milk products & 1800
distributors for fresh milk to ensure that Amul products are
available to all segments of consumers in India through more
then 20 lakhs outlets. GCMMF has expanded its network to more
then 4,000 parlors across various towns & cities of the India.

SWOT ANALYSIS
SWOT
ANALYSIS
STRENGTH:
Largest milk producer in the world A huge base of around 11 million farmers Traditional emphasis on
consumption
Amul has a strong growth as its turnover for previous year
increased by almost 18% and growth revenue by 67% making it
the world thirteenth largest dairy organization
With Amul’s products being popular and being in the market for a
while now, it has developed its brand name and their customers
are very loyal to the company.
. Although Amul’s distribution network is wide and dispersed, it
has managed to maintain its quality throughout the world. The
credit also goes to the fact that Amul has a very strong supply
chain.
Their diverse and wide ranges of products are also one of its
strengths. .
The global mascot (Amul girl) used in their advertising is their icon
throughout the world.
1. Corporate Image.
2. Diversified product line.
3. Dedicated work force.
4. Totally integrated operation.
5. Good for sightedness and long term vision.
6. Low capital cost
7. Brand Power.
8. High quality product.
9. Customer as well as customer support.
WEAKNESS:
1.Supply is not regular.
2. Distribution of Amul pouch milk is not proper in some of areas
3. Co-ordination of company or retailer is not proper
. 4.―Weak management support and less effective customer
care‖ said some retailers.
5. With too many international brands in competition with
Amul, it now finds difficult to control its cost of operations. And
thus is facing huge competition especially in international markets.
6. Amul introduced its chocolate a while back but it has not
been able to gain the acceptance that it was aiming for.
7. The shelf life for most dairy products is limited which makes
the company vulnerable to losses
. 8. Despite the distribution being strong, it is still not dispersed
to rural areas. 5. Amul invests very low in terms of advertising.
OPPORTUNITIES:
1. With the liberalization new avenues of exploiting open market
economy are being open up.
2. Being the oldest co-operative society use their brand name as
already being leader in dairy products, the other competitors
are very far behind AMUL.
3. New product from Amul i.e. Amul preferred outlet(APO) can be
very successul in the market as we receive better response from
Distributors as well retailers and consumers
.4. Must take the advantage of priority given to the Dairy
industries by the Govt. in terms of loan.
THREATS:
1. With the globalization and liberalization various global brands
are started to peak in.
2. Competition from other Co-operative and local industries are
present in the market.
3. The
milk curdling problem allows the competitors to penetrate
the market which is previously covered by the Amul. The milk
from Softe plant is responsible for that as a retailer can not bear
huge loss. Some serious problem found is of the late delivery of
milk in area like R.K.Puram. Sometime distributor‘s attitude and
rude behavior is responsible for decrease in sales
COMPETITOR ANALYSIS
Amul has many competitors in the market of Delhi. The major
competitors areMother dairy, Paras, DMS, Param, Gopaljee,
Reliance, Britannia, Nestle, Dairy India etc.
But the Mother dairy is giving tough competition to Amul in all
the range of milk products. Strength of AMUL= Quality products,
Brand name, Corporate
image, Good work Force.
Strength of Mother Dairy = Very good distribution channel(
through
MD booth, Distributors and retailers.
Mother dairy providing extra facilities like refrigeration facility on
behalf of small amount of security to retailers whereas AMUL
provide this facility on permanent basis by taking complete
charge of fridge. Some promotional schemes are also being
given by the Mother dairy.
In the term of product quality Amul is far better than Mother
dairy and customer‘s first preference is AMUL.
Market analysis says Amul is No. 1 in the milk market of Delhi
I.PRODUCTION DEPARTMENT:-
In this department all the things are been made means here
company is producing product. So it is called as a production
department. It is the concern with the creation of a product. It is
a line function, because it contributes directly to the

the personnel employed in organization. Management of the
people is the one of the main function of the personnel
department. There are also the main functions except the

at work. Thus management of people is a very important and
challenging job for organization. The functions which are

goods. Sales department is a department made within the

necessary, as it is directly related with profit.
Similarly, the company has a purchases department too, which
takes care of purchases of raw materials from outside. Raw
material is required to make finished products by use of some
processes
SUGGESTIONS
1) People use milk for various purposes like making Curd, Lassi,
Ice-cream besides Tea and for drinking purpose. So a positive
perception can be created to make them think that amul milk is
best suited for those purposes.
2) Projector films may be shown to the villagers emphasizing
on the quality and the hygenity of amul milk. This would help in
convincing the people & creating a favorable attitude.
3) Arrangement should be made to ensure regular supply of
amul milk to the consumers in new places once the milk in
introduced. If possible transportation facility should also be
arranged to make it convenient for the retailers.
4) Suggestions & complaints made by retailers & consumers
should be given due attention to provide maximum satisfaction.
This could create and impression that amul cares for them
CONCLUSION
Amul dominat presence in the dairy foods market has led to
Amul becoming a household name.AMUL is one of the most
successful business houses and other companies should learn
from amul how to do its business in a socially responsible
manner .In fact amul uses only 1 percent of its turnover for
promotions .This shows that it is not always necessary to spend
millions on promotion when you have creatively.
