LOCAL AGENCY FURTHER INFORMATION

 

Mother Dairy is a unit of Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Limited, having Asia's largest fully automated Milk and Milk Product manufacturing facilities spread in more than 70acres of land, popularly known for the brands of "MOTHER DAIRY", "AMUL" and "SAGAR".

 

SALES

 

During the year, the Federation's sales registered a growth of 1.4 per cent to reach Rs. 29225.300 Millions (Rs. 29.22 billion) including consignment sales of Rs. 15.300 Millions (Rs. 0.02 billion). This lower than expected overall growth was owing firstly to low procurement of milk during the first half of the year, and secondly to unfavourable commodity market prices when procurement normalized. Commodities—to achieve power in the market. Thus, the dairy line in consumer packs grew by 11.8 per cent during the year. Sales of Amul Milk in pouches increased by 36 per cent in value terms. A notable development in the area of liquid milk in pouches has been the successful launch of Amul Milk in the Kolkata market during December 2004- UHT Milk has grown in value terms by 23 per cent. Amul Ice cream achieved a sales value growth of 10 per cent, and has strengthened its position as the undisputed market leader. Despite intense competition, sales value of Amul Butter grew by 4-5 per cent. The sales of the Amul Cheese range increased by 21 per cent. Products like Flavoured Milk, Amul Fresh Cream, Paneer, Mithaimate, Softy Mix and fresh curd demonstrated their potential to become dominant brands in the coming few years. They have launched a promising new product called Amul Masti Spiced Buttermilk during the year.

 

POUCH MILK

 

Amul pouch milk has become the largest contributor to their turnover with annual sales of about Rs. 6260.000 Millions (Rs. 6.26 billion) during 2004-2005 as against Rs. 4620.000 Millions (Rs. 4.62 billion) during the previous year implying a growth of about 36 per cent. During last year they had surveyed major markets for exploring possibility of opening new markets. Taking into consideration their strong brand equity, experience of milk marketing and their association with milk in the consumer's mind, they are planning to open several new markets and will focus on distribution expansion in the existing metro markets.

HISTORY

 

The first AMUL cooperative was the result of a farmers' meeting in Samarkha (Kaira district, Gujarat) on 4th January 1946, called by Morarji Desai under the advice of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel. Dairy farmers in Kaira district in Gujarat organized into a union of cooperatives to counter "exploitive low" price offered for their milk by middleman/private milk processors. It had inspiration from the leaders of India. Eminent leaders like Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, Shri Morarji Desai, Shri Tribhuvandas Patel and Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri provided vision and inspiration.

 

The decision was taken that day in January 1946: Milk producers' cooperatives in villages, federated into a district union, and should alone handle the sale of milk from Kaira to the government-run Bombay Milk Scheme. This was the origin of the Anand pattern of cooperatives. The colonial government refused to deal with the cooperative. The farmers called a milk strike. After fifteen days the government capitulated. This was the beginning of Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers' Union Limited, Anand, registered

on 14 December 1946.

 

Gujarat's milk unions banded together in 1973 to form the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation Limited (GCMMF). GCMMF was established as a state level apex marketing organization to market its dairy cooperatives' products under a single brand name "AMUL". GCMMF became the sole marketer of the original range of AMUL products including milk powder and butter.

 

BUSINESS

 

Subject is India's largest food company with turnover of more than Rs.23000.000 Millions. It is exclusive marketer of AMUL, Sagar and Dhara branded products. Its products range comprises milk, milk powder, health beverages, ghee, butter, cheese, Pizza cheese, Ice cream, Paneer chocolate, traditional Indian sweets and edible oils. Subject cannot be viewed only as a business organization, it is an institution created by the milk producers to primarily safeguard their interest economically, socially as well as democratically. (While business houses create profit and distribute profits to the share holders, in case of GCMMF its profits are ploughed back opt the framers through the unions as well as village societies and this circulation to the capital with value addition within the structure with the final beneficiary being the rural framer eventually contributes to the development not only of the farmers but of the village community).

PRESS RELEASES:

 

Amul posts marginal topline growth, trebles its exports

 

Sindhu J. Bhattacharya

 

New Delhi, June 28 2007

 

LAST fiscal, the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) became the first Indian dairy products company to treble its export sales to Rs 1150 Millions. However, the federation's topline grew just 1.4 per cent in 2004-05 to reach Rs 29225.300 Millions.

 

The federation's Chairman, Dr V. Kurien, said the lower-than-expected topline growth was due to lower milk procurement during the first half of the year and unfavourable commodity market prices.

 

However, GCMMF's (which markets the Amul brand of products) consumer packs performed well during the year under review to record a 12-per cent growth.

 

"I am pleased to note the federation has done remarkably well in most of the consumer packs. A co-operative must increasingly rely on branded products - rather than commodities - to achieve power in the market," Dr Kurien said in the federation's latest Annual Report.

 

Despite lower procurement during the first half of the last fiscal, total milk procurement by the member unions of GCMMF grew 15.2 per cent to average 58.89 lakh kg per day.

 

Leading the sales growth of GCMMF's consumer packs business, Amul Milk in pouches registered 36 per cent in value terms. Sales of Amul Ultra Heat Treatment Milk were up 23 per cent. Amul ice-cream sales were up 10 per cent and Amul Butter 4.5 per cent.

 

With sales of Rs 6260 Millions, Amul Milk in pouches became the largest contributor to GCMMF's turnover last fiscal. To further strengthen its milk business, the federation has decided to enter several new markets with this product in the current year.

 

The federation also succeeded in establishing its distribution network in small town’s last fiscal, by adding 900 distributors.

"This initiative has already started yielding results, in the form of increasing availability of our products in small towns and thereby generating additional business," Dr Kurien said.

 
 
Cover Story

 

The Amul twist

 

RS Sodhi, General Manager (Marketing), GCMMF, in conversation with Shuchi Srivastava, explains Amul’s retailing plans and expansion strategies The Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) has achieved 18 per cent growth during 2003-04 to close the year with a Rs 28820.000 Millions turnover, so it has been an enthusiastic year for Amul


Their March closing was exceptionally good as an overall growth was witnessed across all their dairy products.

 

What percentage of this growth would you attribute to business garnered from the organised retail segment in India?


As far as GCCMF is concerned, the contribution from the organised retail segment would be negligible, say about 2-3 per cent. Except for a few cities like Hyderabad and Bangalore, the actual penetration of the organised retail segment is not really significant in other parts of India.

 

But what about the fact that the distribution of the products is carried out through a network of 4,000 Stockists who, in turn, supply to 500,000 retail outlets?


These outlets would not fall in the organised segment but rather in the traditional unorganized one.

 

You have recently introduced new processes where you plan to launch new products, or re-launch old ones every Thursday of the week? Don’t you think such an increase in the product portfolio would be enhanced if these new products are present in organised retail formats?

 

Yes, the opportunity is immense but as I said earlier, due to the lack of an established market presence, such formats are not really high on their list of priorities. It would make much more sense to liase with local selfowned supermarkets who have all the amenities of an organised retail format. There is no special strategy to specifically target the organised segment. This does not mean that they don’t figure on their list at all; they do, but just as any other category.

 

Are the products accorded any special treatment in terms of packaging, labeling or other areas when sent to organised retail formats?


No, none at all they have the same range of products across all categories.

 

Given that there has been a shift towards branded food products, across urban markets, why has their sale through organized retail formats not taken off?


Clearly because there is no significant cost advantage offered to consumers in order to lure them away from the comfort of their local mom-andpop stores. At the latter option, one may still find a definite price advantage that is instrumental in cementing a long-lasting relationship with the customer. An inviting ambience is an experience that organised retail formats offer but gradually this advantage too is losing its edge as the smalltime, so-called unorganized retailer is also waking up to the fact.

 

 

GCMMF exports set to top Rs 1250.000 Millions

 

Their Regional Bureau / Ahmedabad March 18, 2005

 

 

 

Dairy exports of the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF) are set to cross Rs 1250.000 Millions by the end of the current financial year. This accounts for over 55 per cent of the country’s total dairy exports of Rs 2250.000 Millions.

 

The Rs 30000.000 Millions GCMMF’s export had fallen to Rs 440.000 Millions in financial year 2003-2004, as compared with exports of Rs 780.000 Millions in the previous year due to the acute shortage of milk in the country.

 

The co-operatives major have already crossed Rs 1000.000 Millions of dairy exports, and plans to close the current financial year with a exports in excess of Rs 1250.000 Millions.

 

It also hopes to achieve a 50 per cent growth in the next financial year over the current financial year’s numbers on account of the increased international demand.

 

“They are prepared for the post-quota scenario by investing in various cost reduction and quality control measures. Skimmed milk powder accounted for over 70 per cent of their overall exports. Their new product, ultra heat treated milk, has been well accepted in the international markets along with their cheese, ice-cream, full cream milk powder, gulab jamuns, shrikhand,” R S Sodhi, chief general manager, GCMMF, said.

 

The co-operative exports to countries like the Middle East, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Hong Kong, Philippines, Combodia amongst others. It exported its products to Algeria, Afghanistan and various other African countries for the first time in the current year.

 

“Amul Sleak has helped us cut down on production costs. However, India’s import duty on milk — at around 40 per cent — is very low compared with the subsidy offered to 65 per cent subsidies offered to dairies in Europe and the US. Thus, there is a need to hike import duty on milk and milk products,” said BM Vyas, managing director, GCMMF.

 

Innovative use of technology and proper resource management can help the industry achieve export competitiveness in terms of price, yield and quality, said Vyas.

 

“They can successfully meet the challenges and harness new opportunities if they adopt the latest technology for processing, packaging and marketing of milk and milk products. They need to organize milk producers and professionally manage their workings,” he added.

 

India is the biggest producer of milk in the world with an output of over 90 million tonnes.

 

But productivity has remained low at 990 kg per lactation per year, compared with the world average of 2,030.
