Karnataka Milk Federation, Dharwad

Executive Summary

KARNATAKA COOPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS' FEDERATION LIMITED (KMF)KMF is the Apex Body in Karnataka representing Dairy Farmers' Co-operatives. It is the

third largest dairy co-operative amongst the dairy cooperatives in the country. In South India it stands first in terms of procurement as well as sales. One of the core functions of the Federation is marketing of Milk and Milk Products. The Brand ' ' is the household name for Pure and Fresh milk and milk products.

KMF has 13 Milk Unions throughout the State which procure milk from Primary Dairy Cooperative Societies (DCS) and distribute milk to the consumers in various Towns/Cities/Rural markets in Karnataka.

The first ever World Bank funded Dairy Development Program in the country started in Karnataka with the organization of Village Level Dairy Co-operatives in 1974. The AMUL pattern of dairy co-operatives started functioning in Karnataka from 1974-75 with the financial assistance from World Bank, Operation Flood II & III. The dairy co-operatives were established under the ANAND pattern in a three tier structure with the Village Level Dairy Co-operatives forming the base level, the District Level Milk Unions at the middle level to take care of the procurement, processing and marketing of milk and the Karnataka Milk Federation as the Apex Body to co-ordinate the growth of the sector at the State level.

Coordination of activities among the Unions and developing market for Milk and Milk products is the responsibility of KMF. Marketing Milk in the respective jurisdiction is organized by the respective Milk Unions. Surplus/deficit of liquid milk among the member Milk Unions is monitored by the Federation. While the marketing of all the Milk Products is organized by KMF, both within and outside the State, all the Milk and Milk products are sold under a common brand name NANDINI.

Project DetailsPROJECT TITLE:



“CONSUMER PREFERENCE & BRAND AWARENESS TOWARDS NANDINI MILK & milk PRODUCTS in Hubli-Dharwad cities”

OBJECTIVE:Consumers are attracted through competitively other milk brands. So main objective of

the study is to know the consumer preference in choosing the milk and there product, and know the Nandini brand awareness about the Nandini Milk and other various kind of Nandini Milk Product in the consumer mind in the particular geographical area at Hubli-Dharwad cities.

To analyze the consumer attitudes and perception towards price, quality, hygiene, long

shelf life and Brand name..

To study what kind of family member group and income people are most interested to

consume Nandini milk and their product.

To find out what is the present level of loyal consumer of Nandini milk.

To know consumer preference about the Nandini.

To find out the satisfaction level of Nandini product availability and pricing

To find out whether advertisement help the consumer in buying decision.

I have carried out my studies by personally interviewing the customers from all the areas of Hubli and Dharwad. The sample size was 100. I had set the questionnaire based on the above said objectives very carefully.

FINDINGS IN THE ORGANIZATION:

Nandini products have a good brand image in the Market. Pricing strategy of Nandini is appreciated by its customers.



Nandini is started with customer contact programs in order to get first hand feedback from its customer and also to improve its products.

The various private brands have been trying to give a really tough competition by giving the agents high trade margins.

DMU has a waste area of operation which is geographically spread and which leads high procurement and distribution charges.

Lack of consumer awareness about the wide range of products sold. The dealers wants only more commission because they also suffer same problem with

other brands also but they complains with us only. The organization is playing an important role in developing the economic viability of

the villages. The powder making plant has taken an vital role in Dharwad Milk Union.

SUGGESTIONS The retailers and dealers should be satisfied with commission and schemes so that

they can improve the sales in the market. The company should come up with new products with different varieties and

attributes to attract the customers. To advertise about all the products in the market. The organization can build good infrastructure better than these like maintaining

good garden etc. If the company wants to restart the production of “Double Toned Milk”, firstly it

has to provide sufficient knowledge and awareness about the attributes of products as compared to others.

Milk: India's Number One Farm Commodity

Milk is India's number one farm commodity in terms of its contribution to the national economy. In 1994-95, the value of its output based on producer price was Rs. 500,051 millions, exceeding that from paddy (rice). Notwithstanding its top place and the many benefits it bestows on the lower rungs of the rural society, dairying has not received due attention from planners, economists, social scientists and others. For example, the investment in dairying made under the five-year plans is not commensurate with its output. Consequently, its potential has not been adequately tapped.

Milk contains many different nutrients



Milk and milk products contain a good balance of protein, fat and carbohydrate and are a very important source of essential nutrients including:

Calcium Riboflavin Phosphorous Vitamins A, D and B12 Pantothenic acid.

Milk products also contain ‘high quality proteins’ that are well suited to human needs. Milk proteins increase the value of poorer quality cereal and vegetable proteins in the diet by providing the amino acids these proteins lack.

As a food, milk serves the following broad purposes: (a) growth, (b) reproduction, (c) supply of energy, (d) maintenance and repair and (e) appetite satisfaction. The requirements of these categories vary with the individual, and in some instances not all the stated functions of the food need to be served, e.g. adults no longer require food for growth whereas infants do. The functions of a food are served specifically through the various nutritionally important components, comprising proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, minerals, vitamins and water.

Fat content is closely followed by milk proteins at about 3.4%. Milk proteins in turn are subdivided into casein, comprising approximately 76–80% of the total milk proteins, and the whey proteins, comprising roughly 20–24%.

Modified milks explained:

There are many types of milks on the market, including:

Full cream – full cream milk contains around four per cent fat and is a source of vitamins A and D. For children up to the age of two years, full cream milk is recommended.

Reduced fat – expect around half as much fat in reduced fat milk as full cream. Children over the age of two years can drink reduced fat milk.

Skim milk – contains less than one per cent fat. Children older than five years can safely consume skim milk. Both reduced fat and skim milk have vitamin A and D added to replace the naturally occurring vitamins that are reduced when the fat is removed.

Calcium enriched – generally milks that are enriched with extra calcium are also fat reduced. A 250ml glass of milk contains 408–500mg of calcium.



Flavored – these milks can either be full cream or reduced fat. However, most varieties contain a lot of sugar.

UHT (ultra-high temperature-treated) milk – is treated with very high heat to allow milk to be stored for long periods.

Pasteurization milk:

Pasteurization is a process in which the milk is heated till 75 degree Celsius and the milk is exposed to this temperature for about 16 seconds and then the milk is suddenly cooled to 4 degree Celsius. This process is carried out to destroy all the pathogenic bacteria that are present in raw milk. Pasteurization is a very costly process and it requires the installation of very costly machines.

Unpasteurized milk:

Most milk on the market is pasteurized (heat treated then cooled). Milk that hasn’t been through this process should be avoided. While pasteurization reduces the amount of some vitamins, such as vitamin C, it also kills bacteria. Unpasteurized milk is a health hazard because of the dangers of bacterial diseases.

India: World's Largest Milk Producer

India has become the world's No. 1 milk producing country, with output in 1999-200 (marketing year ending March 2000) forecasted at 78 million tones. United States, where the milk production is anticipated to grow only marginally at 71 million tones, occupied the top slot till 1997. In the year 1997, India's milk production was on par with the U.S. at 71 million tones. The world milk production in 1998 at 557 million tones would continue the steady progress in recent years (see Table 1). Furthermore, the annual rate of growth in milk production in India is between 5-6 per cent, against the worlds at 1 per cent. The steep rise in the growth pattern has been attributed to a sustained expansion in domestic demand, although per capita consumption is modest - at 70 kg of milk equivalent.

Annual Milk Production has trebled



India's annual milk production has more than trebled in the last 30 years, rising from 21 million tons in 1968 to an anticipated 80 million tons in 2001. This rapid growth and modernization is largely credited to the contribution of dairy cooperatives, under the Operation Flood (OF) Project, assisted by many multi-lateral agencies, including the European Union, the World Bank, FAO and WFP (World Food Program). In the Indian context of poverty and malnutrition, milk has a special role to play for its many nutritional advantages as well as providing supplementary income to some 70 million farmers in over 500,000 remote villages.

The origin of Co-operative Milk Producers societies:

The mighty Ganges at it's origin is but a tiny stream in the Gangotri ranges of the 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.

Achievements of dairy co-operatives:



A commitment to help rural producers help themselves has guided the Dairy Board's work for more than 30 years. This commitment has been rewarded with achievements made by cooperative dairies in milk production, employment generation, and per capita availability of milk, foreign exchange savings and increased farmer incomes.

The start of a revolution:

The revolution started as awareness among the farmers that grew and matured into a protest movement and the determination to liberate them. Over four decades ago, the life of a farmer in Kaira District was very much like that of his counterpart anywhere else in India. His income was derived almost entirely from seasonal crops. The income from milch buffaloes was undependable. The marketing and distribution system for the milk was controlled by private traders and middlemen. As milk is perishable, farmers were compelled to sell it for whatever they were offered. Often, they had to sell cream and ghee at throwaway prices. In this situation, the one who gained was the private trader. Gradually, the realization dawned on the farmers that the exploitation by the trader could be checked only if marketed their milk themselves. In order to do that they needed to form some sort of an organization. This realization is what led to the establishment of the Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Limited (popularly known as Amul) which was formally registered on December 14, 1946.

NATIONAL DAIRY DEVELOPMENT BOARD: -

History: The NDDB was founded to replace exploitation with empowerment, tradition with

Modernity, Stagnation with growth, transforming dairy into and instrument for the development of Indian’s rural people.

The NDDB was established in 1965; the board is registered under the Societies Registration Act and the public Trust Act, fulfilling the desire of the Prime Minister of India – the late Lal Bhahaddur Shastri to extend the success of the Kaira Co-operative Milk producers union (AMUL ) TO OTHER PARTS OF India. Dr Vergese Kurien was the founder chairman. The success combined the wisdom & energy of farmers with professional management to successful capture liquid milk and milk product markets while supporting farmer’s investment with inputs and services.

The Growth



NDDB began its operations with the mission of making dairying a vehicle to a better future for millions of gross roots milk producers. The mission archived helped to launce ‘’Operation Flood’’, a programmed extending over 26 years and with the help of World Bank Loan India become the world’s largest milk producing country. As per March 2001 India’s 96000 Dairy Co-operative are integrated thorough a three Tier Cc-operative structure. The Anand pattern which is owned by more than 10 million formers procures an average of 1605 million liters of milk every day. The milk is processed and marketed by 170 milk producers’ co-operative unions which, in turn own 15 state co-operative milk marketing federation. Since its establishment the dairy development board has planned and spearheaded India’s Dairy programmer by placing dairy development in the hands of milk producers and the professionals they employ to manage their co-operatives. In addition, NDDB also promotes other commodity based co-operative, allied industries and veterinary biologically on an intensive and nationwide basis.

PERSPECTIVE PLAN 2010:

The Operation Flood (OF) Programmed initiated by NDDB in 1970 was a planned attempt to revive India's Dairy Industry from a premature stagnation. The OF Programmed not only propelled the growth of dairy development in India, it also helped India become the world's largest milk producer.

OF enhanced the incomes and quality of life for millions of India's dairy farmers, most of them poor and many of them women. It has become India's largest Dairy Development Programmed.

OF (1970-1996) created a strong foundation to transform India's dairy sector into a vibrant business activity. It paved the way to take up new initiatives and create new conditions to firm up India's world leadership in milk production. The new challenge for the Dairy Industry was to explore ways to emerge stronger using



the network created under OF. The response is Perspective 2010, a plan that attempts to take the dairy cooperative movement to its highest potential.

Perspective 2010 focuses on four key areas. These include Strengthening Cooperatives Business, Production Enhancement, Assuring Quality and creating a National Information Network. The State Milk Marketing Federations and the Milk Producers' Cooperative Unions, the architects and key beneficiaries have identified the thrust areas. The plan is designed keeping at helm the benefit to farmers at large. NDDB facilitated the planning process and will provide technical support and need-based finance for implementing

Increase liquid milk procurement by cooperatives to 33 percent (488 lakh kilograms per day) of the marketable surplus in Operation Flood areas, constituting 80% of the national milk produced (i.e. Quadruple liquid milk procurement by year 2010)

Increase liquid milk sales to 365 lakh kilograms per day, more than 60 percent of the market shares in metros, and on average of close to 50 percent in the Class I cities served by cooperatives (i.e. Treble fluid milk marketing by year 2010)

After the closure of OF-III project. Government of Karnataka and NDDB (National Dairy Development Board) signed an MOU during February 2000, for further strengthening the Dairy Development Activities in Karnataka with an outlay of Rs.250 Crores. Consequent to the announcement of new lending terms and conditions by NDDB through an evolution of an action plan - Perspective 2010 to enable the dairy cooperatives to face the challenges of the increased demand for milk and milk products by focusing efforts in the four major thrust areas of Strengthening the Cooperatives. Enhancing Productivity, Managing Quality and building a National Information Network, plans are under implementation. The 4 Milk Unions viz., Dharwad, Tumkur, Bijapur and Gulbarga that were having accumulated losses were included for rehabilitation programmers under the Centrally Sponsored Scheme "Assistance to Cooperatives" which is also under implementation.



STRATEGY:

Identify and address quality related problem at every stage from the producer at the village co-operative, to the dairy plant and the process of final delivery to the consumer.

Facilitate improvement of hygiene, sanitation, food safety and operating efficiency in the dairy plants and sensitize dairy personnel to product quality aspects as per international standards

FUTURE VISION:

To consolidate the gains of Dairying achieved in the state of Karnataka and with a view of to efficiently chill, process and market ever developing and increasing milk procurement with an utmost emphasis on the Quality and in the process conserve the socio-economic interests of rural milk producers, the Govt. of Karnataka through KMF has proposed to undertake several projects with financial and technical support of NDDB for which an MOU was signed between Govt. of Karnataka and NDDB on 10th Nov. 2004.

DHARWAD MILK UNION:

Dharwad District Co-operative Milk Producers' Societies' Union Ltd The Union was established in the year 1986 under the Operation Flood II & III.

PROCESS AT DHARWAD MILK UNION:



The milk collected at DCS’s ( District Co-operative Society ) is brought to the center thought carries trucks etc. the quality and quantity of milk bought is checked at the Reception center by a supervisor.

A sample of milk is taken and is tested in a laboratory for fat content, Solid Not fat (SNF) acidity etc.

As the milk is at room temperature is to be brought down to 40 c to 50 c. so that it may check the growth of bacteria. To ensure this milk is passed through a chilling chamber where the milk is chilled. Its temperature is bought down and then the milk is stored in a tank called as ’Row Milk Tank’.

Row Milk or Unpasteurized milk:

Most milk on the market is pasteurized (heat treated then cooled). Milk that hasn’t been through this process should be avoided. While pasteurization reduces the amount of some vitamins, such as vitamin C, it also kills bacteria. Unpasteurized milk is a health hazard because of the dangers of bacterial diseases.

From this tank milk is pumped to a pasteurizing cell where the milk is heated up to 720 c and 15 seconds, so that all the bacteria and microorganisms may be killed and then the milk is simultaneously cooled to 40 C to 5o C and is store in a ‘Pasteurized Milk Tank’ From here the milk is separated according to the requirement of production of different types of milk and the remaining milk is used for manufacturing milk products.

Pasteurization milk:Pasteurization is a process in which the milk is heated till 75 degree Celsius and the milk

is exposed to this temperature for about 16 seconds and then the milk is suddenly cooled to 4 degree Celsius. This process is carried out to destroy all the pathogenic bacteria that are present in raw milk. Pasteurization is a very costly process and it requires the installation of very costly machines.

Respondents


In the DMU the co-ordination between the subordinate is appreciable.

DMU has a waste area of operation which is geographically spread and which leads high

procurement and distribution charges.

Lack of consumer awareness about the wide range of products sold.

The dealers wants only more commission because they also suffer same problem with

other brands also but they complains with us only.

The organization is playing an important role in developing the economic viability of

the villages.

The powder making plant has taken an vital role in Dharwad Milk Union.

In some cases it is proven that DMU also not solved the problems on the spot because it

is not allows a single person to take decision because this is a co-operative sector.

Another important problem is the under utilization of the resources available. The plant

capacity utilization of DMU is very less which is leading the organization to loss. The

various machineries install must be run even when quality of milk handled is less. This

adds up a huge unwanted expense to DMU.

SUGGESTIONS

The retailers and dealers should be satisfied with commission and schemes so that they can improve the sales in the market.

The company should come up with new products with different varieties and attributes to attract the customers.

To advertise about all the products in the market. The organization can build good infrastructure better than these like

maintaining good garden etc. If the company wants to restart the production of “Double Toned

Milk”, firstly it has to provide sufficient knowledge and awareness about the attributes of products as compared to others.



CONCLUSION

It was an exciting experience to me working with DMU Dharwad. From this project I

learnt about the marketing tactics used by Dharwad Milk Union.

Dharwad Milk Union is a reputed organization which has developed its goodwill in the

market to compete with other famous brands such as Sphurti, Arokya, Srikrishna etc. It has to

adopt modern technology in the production process and can do better marketing compared with

others. It has to increase the rate of commission payable to its agents or dealers or retailers.



DMU is functioning well for the social as well as economical upliftment of the rural

population.

To survive in the market the company needs to adapt an aggressive marketing policy as

of competitors.

Last but not the least I would like to conclude DMU as good organization to work as

well as to interact with people. All the workers and members of the union nicely motivated me.

The Hubli Dharwad retailers and hotel owners co-operated well and supported me in completing

and making this project a successfully.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The retailers and dealers should be satisfied with commission schemes so that

they can improve the sales in the market.



The company should come up with new products with different varieties and

attributes to attract the customers.

The advertise about the entire product line in the market.

The organization can build good infrastructure better than these like maintaining

good garden.
