agro-climatic conditions and has a large and diverse raw
materialbase suitable for food processing companies
Investment requirement of around US$ 15 billion exists in the food
processingsectorindiais looking for investment in infrastructure,

per cent of household expenditure by Indians is on
food itemsstrategicgeographic location (proximity of India to
markets in Europe and fareast, South East and West Asia)Under the
food industry, Dairy product is
very important part of food processing. Dairyprocessing is acting
good role in India.

9. Dairy Processing:
India ranks first in the world in terms of milk
production. Indian production stands at 91million tones
growing at a CAGR of 4 per cent. This is primarily due
to the initiativestaken by the Operation flood
programmes in organizing milk producers into
cooperatives;building infrastructure for milk
procurement, processing and marketing and
providingfinancial, technical and management inputs by the
Ministry of Agriculture and Ministry of Food Processing
Industries to turn the dairy sector into viable self-
sustaining organizedsector. About 35% of milk produced in
India is processed. The organized sector (largescale dairy
plants) processes about 13 million tones annually, while
the unorganized sectorprocesses about 22 million tones per
annum. In the organized sector, there are 676 dairyplants in
the Cooperative, Private and Government sectors
registered with the Governmentof India and the state
Governments.
India has a unique pattern of production,
processing and marketing/consumption of
milk,which is not comparable with any large milk
producing country. Approximately 70
millionrural households (primarily, small and marginal

10. farmers and landless labourers ) in thecountry are
engaged in milk production. Over 11 million
farmer are organized into about0.1 million village
Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCS)(about 110 farmers
per DCS). Thecumulative milk handled by DCS across
the country is about 18 million kg of milk per
day.These cooperatives form part of a national milk
grid which links the milk producersthrough out India
with consumers in more than 700 towns and cities
bridging the gaps onaccount of seasonal and regional
variations in the availability of milk.The Ministry of
food Processing Industries is promoting organized
Dairy processing sectorto accomplish upcoming
demands of processed dairy products and helping
to identifyvarious areas of research for future product
development and quality improvement torevamp the
Indian dairy export by way of providing financial
assistance to the dairyprocessing units. 32 Units
have been sanctioned financial assistance (Rs.591
lakhs)
underthe plan scheme of the Ministry during the
year 2006-07.

25. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

26. Research methodology is the way to systematically solve the
problem. In it we study the various steps that are generally
adopted by a researcher in studying his research problem
along with the logic behind them. Thus, When we talk about
research methodology we not only talk of the research
methods but also consider the logic behind the methods we
used in the context of our research study and explain why we
are using a particular method or technique and why we are not
using others so that research results are capable of being
evaluated either by the researcher himself or by others.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVE:
To know the actual sales of the product.
To understand the requirement of the product.
To determine the expansion strategies.
RESEARCH DESIGN
A sample size of 40 retailers was taken.
The survey was conducted in the area THANE.

27. Sampling techniques:
A quota sampling technique was adopted because the sample
audience was made out of potential purchasers of the product.
The sample was carefully drafted. A lot of care was taken
when designing the questionnaire and also when collecting
information
PRIMARY DATA
The primary data consists of information obtained
from the retailers and distributor.
SECONDARY DATA
The secondary data is obtained from the
information already published in newspaper articles , blogs
and books. The websites like Amul. Com ,scribd. Com ,
Wikipedia . cometc were also useful

28. METHODS OF DATA COLLECTION
The source of the data collected for the research is both primary data and secondary data

This data was collected by visiting the amul outlets in Thane by seeing the displayed
Amul products in that stores.
The data was collected on the following parameters:

The questions were open – ended as well as close - ended .

29. LIMITATIONS

FEEDBACK
This were the questionnaires which we are supposed to get completed from the retailers.
Comparing amulpro with bournvita:
AMUL PRO:

31.  It contains DHA advantage.
 With power of vitamin D and calcium
 Whey protein which helps for bodybuilding.
 Goodness of milk.
BOURNVITA:

32.  Dha only for age group of 5yrs
 Similarly whey protein also for the age group of
5yrs.
 Prices of the jar as well as the pack is very high as
compared with the “Amul pro”.
Whereas “Amul pro” is for every age group right from the
children up to grandfather.
FINDINGS
1. Customer trust on brand of product and name of company while purchasing the product.
2. The company has been able to deliver a good quality and taste products are reasonable
and affordable prices.

33. 3. Most of the complaints that we heard from the retailers is that they are not satisfied with
the company’s margin as the margin is very low compared with the competitors product.
4. The Company enjoys a market leadership in products like Butter , Cheese but also lacks
products awareness in product like Basundi , GulabJamun , Chocolates etc .
5. The improper distribution network creates a great hindrance in reaching the product to
the market and customers .
6. At most of the outlets, employees are not satisfied even dealers also.According to them,
Amul only takes action for customer satisfaction,but for the outlets employee’s
satisfaction, Amul tries to avoid it
7. Retailers do not agree to stock Amul ice creams as the company doesn’t not provide the
retailer with deep freezers.
8. The local competitors like Warna ,Chitaleetc are eating the market share of Amul in
product categories of Shrikhand, Milk , Dahi.
9. The retailers are not happy with the damage product treatment given by then company.
The retailers wish for the replacement of the damaged products which the company
refuses to give.
10.The company faces a huge competition from other companies in the market for
Dahi,icecreams,mithaimate and freshcream.

34. CONCLUSION
I have studied and analyzed the dairy based food product market of amul on different aspects
of the markets,outlets,distribution and consumers.
The 2 months of summer internship with amul actually helped me to learn various thing that
would really be helpful in my life for future growth.
This project shows me the way to work in the market .How to communicate with different
type of people .How to convince one for better job .Learnt how to sell ,how things work in
Fast moving Consumer goods .having perishable nature of these product one need a excellent
distribution network and carefully select market because these product if transferred to far
area then cost attached to the product will make it un competitive .
According to me the growth of any product whether it could be food based product or
anything depends upon how we do proper branding of that product and also the promotion
which plays a very vital role in attracting customers.
The main goal should be to attract customer and to retain them so that the loyalty maintains
in future as well.
Besides thisQuality is the dominating aspect which influences consumer to purchase Amul
product, but prompt availabilityof other brands and aggressive promotional activities by
others influences the consumer towards them and also leads to increase sales
Ultimately I must say that I am privileged to work in the company like Amul and get such a
real time exposure of FMCG company .
