PREFACE
Management is an art, which we should learn by heart, and we believe that this art can be learnt
by studying it practically rather than reading the books. Management is must for every
company, every organization, not only this but also it is must for every person.
The Master of Business Administration is a professional course, which develops a new level of
knowledge & skills and sets & prepares those seeking challenging carriers in the new era of
Liberalization, and Globalization. MBA Programmed imparts the knowledge of concept &
application of the skills of management.
As per our BRM course curriculum we have to prepare project report on Dairy Industry, as a
result of that we got a chance to prepare our chance on SABAR DAIRY, HIMATNAGAR. It
was indeed a nice experience to study and prepare a project report on SABAR DAIRY,
HIMATNAGAR.

There is a great deal of variation in the pattern of dairy production worldwide. Many countries
which are large producers consume most of this internally, while others (in particular New
Zealand) export a large percentage of their production. Internal consumption is often in the form
of liquid milk, while the bulk of international trade is in processed dairy products such as milk
powder. Worldwide, the largest producer is India, the largest exporter is New Zealand and the
largest importer is Japan.
World milk production in 2010 reached at 800 million tones, or an increase of just over one
percent, with production growing faster in developing countries than in developed countries. The
gap between these differing patterns of growth is expected to widen in 2011, with high growth in
the developing world at 4 percent and a virtual stagnation of output in the developed countries.
Milk production in 2011 grows by close to 2 percent, to a total of 840 million tones.
Asia
In 2011 Asia is anticipated to expand milk production by 4 percent, reaching almost 265 million
tones. India is forecast to grow moderately, some 4 percent, due to the below average rains from
the likely occurrence of "El Nio". Output in China is anticipated to return to higher growth, at
9 percent, a figure still below its track record of recent years. This conservative estimate is based
on the persistence of low farm-gate prices and tighter feed and water availability.
Europe
Production in Europe in 2011 is anticipated to remain stagnant reflecting the low price incentives
of the past year and continued higher feed prices. Summer droughts in parts of the Russian
Federation have constrained once again the building of fodder reserves for winter and therefore
production may remain relatively unchanged.
North America
Milk production for 2010 in the United States is decrease by one percent on account of low farm
gate prices and the deterioration of the milk/feed price ratio. In Canada, where production is
governed by quotas; milk output is anticipated to remain relatively unchanged. The trend of
declining output in the United States is expected to continue in 2011 with a further one percent
fall in production.
South America
In South American countries like Brazil, Argentina, Chile milk production in 2011 reach at 59.1
million tones with expansion of 2.5%.

Dairy industry is of crucial importance to India. The country is the worlds largest milk
producer, accounting for more than 13% of worlds total milk production. It is the
worlds largest consumer of dairy products, consuming almost 100% of its own milk
production.
Policy
The total amount of milk produced has more than tripled from 23 million tones back
in 1973 to 74.70 million tones 26 years later in 1998. The tremendous rise in milk
production is primarily the fallout of the dairy farming policy reflected in Operation
Flood. Following the success of dairy farming policy, the Government has set up a
dairy processing policy, reflected in the Milk and Milk Products Order. In addition, the
Government uses a variety of import restrictions to protect its domestic dairy market.
Milk Processing
The milk processing industry is small compared to the huge amount of milk produced
every year. Only 10% of all the milk is delivered to some 400 dairy plants. A specific
Indian phenomenon is the unorganized sector of milkmen, vendors who collect the milk
from local producers and sell the milk in both, urban and non-urban areas, which handles
around 65-70% of the national milk production. In the organized dairy industry, the
cooperative milk processors have a 60% market share. The cooperative dairies process
90% of the collected milk as liquid milk whereas the private dairies process and sell only
20% of the milk collected as liquid milk and 80% for other dairy products with a focus on
value-added products.
10
(iii) Focus on buffalo milk based specialty Dairy industry in India is also unique with
regard to availability of large proportion of buffalo milk. Thus, India can focus on buffalo milk
based specialty products, like Mozzarella cheese, tailored to meet the needs of the target
consumers.
(iv) Import of value-added products and export of lower value products With the
trade liberalization, despite the attempts of Indian companies to develop their product range, it
could well be that in the future, more value-added products will be imported and lower value
products will be exported. The industry has to prepare them to meet the challenges.
In 1990, the 'UNISEF' Team visited the Sabarkantha district & they tries to improve milk
industry Sabarkantha for this objective they select Himatnagar for establishing milk processing
unit. This is their recommendation to start the dairy on Co-operative bases to improve milk
industry in Sabarkantha district.
11
The Sabarkantha District Co-operative Milk Producers Union Ltd, Himatnagar" was also
known as SABAR DAIRY in Gujarat. Sabar dairy was established before forty years that
means 27th November 1964.
Sabar dairy was registered with the name of "The Sabarkantha District Co-operative Milk
Producer's Union Ltd., Himatnagar" and also gets the certificate of ISO-9002.
In Gujarat Sabar dairy is one of the leading milk producing unit.
The company has achieved the following national level awards and State
level Awards during different years:
The national productivity Award for years 1987-88(2nd rank), 1989-90(1st), and 1990-91
(1st) and for years1997-98, 1999-2000 (certificate of merit).

PROBLEM DEFINITION
Rural Marketing is defined as a function that manages all activities involved in assessing,
stimulating and converting the purchasing power of rural consumers into an effective demand for
specific products & services and moving these products & services to the people in rural areas to
create satisfaction and a better standard of living and thereby achieving organizational goals

In the recent years, rural markets in India have undergone considerable changes as the
urban markets have hit saturation and relative growth has slowed down. Marketers have realized
that rural India has tremendous potential and with increasing focus of the policy makers on
injecting money to pump the rural economy have all contributed towards an increased interest of
businesses towards rural India. This article is an attempt to understand rural markets and how
organizations serve the emerging rural markets.
According to NCAER (National Council of Applied Economic Research) Report-2009,
the numbers belonging to lower middle income group in rural areas is almost double compared
with urban areas. This is a large consuming class, constituting 41% of the Indian middle class,
and having 58% of the total disposable income. Rural Market size is estimated to have 42 million
household and it is growing at five times the pace of urban market. So we can say that there is
huge consumer potential in rural India and addressing this segment is a win-win partnership for
both - companies and people.
Here, in this study we have tried to find out factors influence rural consumer for making
purchase decision and creating awareness regarding processed milk and milk products of AMUL
in Sabarkantha District of Gujarat. Now rural customers are also becoming more brand conscious
and this nature is resulting in the emergence of new rural Market for the FMCG companies. Now
there is a need of different approach towards Rural Consumer which is differentiating urban and
rural consumers. This study also part of understanding rural market.

municipal dairies in some areas. In PRANTIJ, IDAR, HIMATNAGAR, areas it was not
developed so there were so much milk corruption at that time. So for this reason all the Patels
combined they decided to build dairy in each villages.
For this they gave guidance and knowledge to the people also aware them about the corruptors of
milk. For their effort, rules become existence that register capacity of dairy is checked and there
after only they get registered after that there are more than 1500 registered Mandali's and almost
900 subhead Mandali's in Sabarkantha.
The development of dairy is also due to the help of Government. And in 1973 the Sabar Dairy
expanded at Himatnagar. Reasons to select the location of Dairy at Himatnagar are availability of
power, transportation facility, water facility, raw milk availability, availability of plain land and
labour. In Himatnagar area Bank facilities can be easily available. Jilla Panchayat is also in
Himatnagar so work can be done easily. Land was cheap at Himatnagar area and the milk is also
easily available from the nearest villagers so the location selected in Himatnagar is more
suitable.
RESEARCH APPROACH
1. To find out how milk and milk products are used in rural market, series of direct question
asked in questioner which gives direct answer of how milk and milk products are
consume, is there any consumption pattern for milk and milk products.
19
Daily need
Awareness level for available Options
Perception towards all option
Availability at door step
Services, Quality, Advertisement, other factor
Comparison between all options
Trail buying of promoted product
Final attitude towards promoted products
2. To find out consumer attitude towards AMUL products we need to understand above
mention model which gives clear understanding of how a consumer will develop attitude
towards some brand or products. Here to find out Attitude towards AMUL we need to
know awareness level of rural customer regarding product range of AMUL, importance
of hygienic products, availability of AMUL products at local level, influence by current
advertisement etc.
3. For deterring promotional platform that can be used for launching AMUL products we
need to ask some direct question, which can clarify effective media in rural area of
Sabarkantha district.
4. For opening of New Amul parlour, we will arrange meetings with DCS Secretary,
Chairman and some decision maker members, to discuss AMUL parlor concept, benefits
of concept etc.

Balanced products display at existing AMUL parlour.
By launching small quantity/less price trial packets.
LIMITATION
Sometimes respondents providing wrong information which can affect our
research.
48
The study is cross sectional study so this recommendation and observations are
