...1. Comment on the business model and marketing mix of Amul which have led to its business success. Amul’s business model was nothing like that had taken place before. From the encouragement of freedom fighter Sardar Vallabvai Patel, the exploited dairy farmers from Kaira District formed Kaira District Cooperative Milk Producers Union Ltd. The cooperative was formed with two societies and the initial daily collection of milk was a mere 250 liters. This was the Anand model which later adapted to the brand name Amul. Amul is the flagship brand of India’s largest food company the Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation (GCMMF). Since the suppliers (dairy farmers) were also the owners of Amul, The Company’s primary focus was protecting the interests of the farmers and providing its customers with products that were value for money. Amul bought all the milk that the farmers produced so that they didn’t have to incur any losses. They shared the profits generated from the sales of milk and milk products and encouraged the farmers to produce more milk with better quality by using modern day techniques which in turn lowered the costs of the farmers. Since GCMMF sold all its products under only one brand name “Amul”, it helped Amul save a lot of money on advertising products under different brand names. The GCMMF spent just 1% of their turnover on advertising campaigns which would have increased to 6-7% if they had adopted to different brands for different products. The GCMMF...

The brand name was derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Amoolya’, which means priceless. But some cite the name as an acronym Anand Milk Union Limited. Amul products have been used in millions of home since then. Today Amul is a symbol of high quality delivered at a reasonable price, of the creation of a vast co-operative network, of a triumph of the white revolution. And it serves as an established model for dairy development. In the early 1940s, the main sources of earning of the farmers of the Kaira district were selling of milk and farming. During that time, there was a high demand of milk in Bombay. It was mainly supplied by Polsen dairy limited which had a monopoly and was privately held. Those traders used to decide on the prices of milk and the farmers had no say in that. But the exploitation became intolerable and the farmers collectively requested Sardar Vallabhai Patel. He told them to establish a co-operative union, as an alternative to supplying milk to private traders. Morarji Desai...

...1. INTRODUCTION 1.1 DISTRIBUTION Distribution is the process of making a product or service available for use or consumption by a consumer or business user, using direct means, or using indirect means with intermediaries. 1.2 DISTRIBUTION CHANNEL It is the chain of businesses or intermediaries through which a good or service passes until it reaches the end consumer. A distribution channel can include wholesalers, retailers, distributors and even the internet. Channels are broken into direct and indirect forms, with a "direct" channel allowing the consumer to buy the good from the manufacturer and an "indirect" channel allowing the consumer to buy the good from a wholesaler. Direct channels are considered "shorter" than "indirect" ones. Goods and services often pass to consumers through multiple channels. While increasing the number of ways in which a consumer can find a good has the potential to increase sales, it also creates a complex system that can make distribution management difficult. In addition, the longer the distribution channel the less profit a product manufacturer might get from the sale. Distribution channels are probably the most visible aspect of any company’s marketing efforts. A recent estimate puts the number of retail out lets in India at 5 million. The retail industry provides livelihood to more than 15 million people in the country. If one included in this the number of distributors, wholesalers, agents including the army of life insurance agents,...

The Amul pattern of cooperatives had been so successful, in 1965, then Prime Minister of India, Shri Lal Bahadur Shastri, created the National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) to replicate the program on a nationwide basis citing Kurien’s “extraordinary and dynamic leadership” upon naming him chairman.
