2. INDUSTRY PROFILE
2.1 INTRODUCTION DAIRY INDUSTRY IN INDIA

Dairy enterprise is an important occupation of farmer. In India nearly 70% of the people depend on
agriculture. It is the backbone of India. Dairy is linked with agriculture industry to a large extent.
Animal husbandry in India is an essential part of agriculture. It is mainly a rural occupation closely associated with
agriculture.
2.1.1 DEVELOPMENT OF DAIRY INDUSTRY IN INDIA
During the Pre-independence year there was no serious stress given to dairy industry. In 1886 the
Department of Defense of the British Government established the dairy farms for the supply of milk to the British
troops in Allahabad.
Later, in 1920 serious steps were taken by Mr. William Smith, an expert in dairy forming to improve the
milk production There was discrimination done to the Indians hence this led to the rise of the first milk union in India.
In Lucknow in 1937 called the Lucknow milk producers Co-operative union Ltd.
In 1946 AMUL (Anand Milk Udyog Ltd) was started in Gujarat to bring up the economic stability of villagers.
When the farmer Prime Minister Lal Bahaddur Shastri visited the functioning as it was rendering a social service to
the society, which helped the villagers to come in the national economic stream.
The dairy and Animal Husbandry received serious attention after the independence. There were lots many of
progressive steps taken by the government through five year plans. This led to the formation of National Dairy
Development Board in 1965 & thus in 1970 he decided to Bring a White Revolution throughout the country, Initially
10 states were selected were for this purpose excluding Karnataka.
In Karnataka in 1974 an integrated project was launched to restructure and reorganize the dairy industry on
Co-operative principle of AMUL and to lay foundation for new direction in dairy industry.
INDIAN DAIRY INDUSTRY PROFILE
India's high-value, high-volume market for traditional dairy products and delicacies is all set to boom further under the
technology of mass production. This market is the largest in value after liquid milk and is estimated at US $3 billion in
India.
MSRCASC
Page 4

More and more dairy plants in the public, cooperative and private sectors in India are going in for the
manufacture of traditional milk products. This trend will undoubtedly give a further stimulus to the milk consumption in
the country and ensure a better price to primary milk producers. Simultaneously, it will also help to productively utilize
India's growing milk surplus.
Milk production in India increased from 17 million tons in 1950-51 to 89.6 million tons in 2007-08. India has
rapidly positioned itself as the world's largest producer of milk. Producing milk in rural areas through smallholder
producer cooperatives and moving industrially-processed milk from these smallholder sources to urban demand centers
became the cornerstone of government dairy development policy. This policy initiative gave a boost to dairy
development and initiated the process of establishing the much-needed linkages between rural producers and urban
consumers. The performance of the Indian dairy sector during the past three decades has been truly impressive. Milk
production grew at an average annual rate of 4.6 percent during the 1970s, 5.7 percent during the 1980s, and 4.2
percent during the 1990s.
Despite its being the largest milk producer in the world, India's per capita availability of milk is one of the lowest
in the world, although it is high by developing country standards. The per capital availability of milk expanded
substantially during the 1980s and 1990s and reached about 226 grams per day in 2003-04 the per capita consumption
of milk and milk products in India is among the highest in Asia, but it is still growing. It is still below the world average of
285 grams per day, and also the minimum nutritional requirement of 280 grams per day as recommended by the Indian
Council of Medical Research (ICMR).
Several factors have contributed to increased milk production. First, milk and dairy products have cultural
significance in the Indian diet. A large portion of the population is lacto-vegetarian, so milk and dairy products are an
important source of protein in the diet. The demand for milk and dairy products is income-responsive, and growth in per
capita income is expected to increase demand for milk and milk products.
Despite the fact that dairy production in India is widespread throughout the country and overwhelmingly carried
out by small-scale producers, there are still large interregional and interstate variations in milk production. Roughly twothirds of national milk production comes from the states of Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and Haryana. However, there have been some shifts in milk production shares
of different states. In 2001-02, Uttar Pradesh was the largest milk producer in the country, with about 16.5 million tons of
milk, followed by Punjab (8.4 million tons), Rajasthan (6.3 million tons), Madhya Pradesh (6.1 million tons), Maharashtra
(6 million tons), and Gujarat (5.6 million tons). The eastern region is lagging behind in terms of dairy development, and
imports milk from surplus areas in the West and North.

2.1.2 INDIAN DAIRY INDUSTRY PROFILE

The annual milk production is presently 92 million tones, contributing around Rs. 1000 billion to the GDP.
Provides assured and remunerative employment round-the-year to 60 million families.
The dairy animals make a substantial contribution to household food security by providing income, quality food,
energy, fertilizer and assets in over majority of the rural households in India.
The Animal Husbandry is the single largest contributor under the agriculture sector which provides a
remunerative employment round the year at a very small investment. The dairy animals make a substantial contribution
to household food security by providing income, quality food, energy, fertilizer and assets in over majority of the rural
households in India.
These livestock keepers are constrained by poor animal health and veterinary services, lack of feed and fodder,
water, milk handling, chilling, etc. Besides, there has been lack of infrastructure facilities such as good roads and access
to markets, etc. The livestock keepers also lack access to advanced technologies as well as proper institutional support
system. The result is that both the production and productivity remain well below its potentials. Thus the losses and
wastages continue to remain high. Adapted breeds and local feed resources although available, but need proven
technology supports in its preservation and processing. Such support would substantially improve production and
productivity, which would result in higher income for the livestock keepers.
One of the problems faced by India is unemployment, despite the rapid growth rate. The problem is more acute
in rural educated and marginally educated youths, who have no alternative but to migrate to urban areas. Due to
automation in various core sectors, the employment opportunities have dwindled considerably whereas the service
sector has its own limitations, especially the high investment cost per job created. In this context, the dairy industry
offers a plausible opportunity of creation of self-employment with minimum investment. There is a scope for doubling the
present milk production, which can be achieved with marginal investment, such a step would not only enhance milk
production and productivity, but also would create millions of additional jobs.
Dairying is, in fact, a supplementary activity of the marginal farmers and the landless laborers. It is therefore
suggested that dairy and such other animal farming be included within the legal framework of agriculture and agriculture
products. This would enable the marginal farmers and the landless agriculture laborers to benefit from the various
government incentives.
MSRCASC

Milk is no more a luxury, but essential nutritional requirements of human being. The children largely depend on
milk for nutrition. Higher milk production therefore will also increase the health status of the farmers and people at large.
Due to several inherent reasons, the cost of milk production is high. One of the important reasons is low animal
productivity. Because of high cost, the milk and milk products are not affordable to poor strata of the society. Milk is a
perishable commodity. Hence, its conversion to products, such as, milk powder, butter and cheese, etc. is necessary.
Considering these factors, it is reasonable that at par with agriculture produce, the milk products be also exempted from
any excise duty, sales tax and such other taxes. This gesture of the government would go a long way in accelerating the
growth of the Indian dairy industry from present annual rate of around 4.5 % to more than 9%.
The conversion of excess milk to milk-products is a necessity. The basic principle here is evaporation of water
which changes its physical form only, whereas there is no change whatsoever in its chemical composition. One of the
reasons of higher cost of milk and milk products is the cost of packaging. To safeguard the quality and safety for human
consumption, packaging of milk and milk product is necessary. The milk product manufacturing therefore should be
construed as processing milk for preservation and it should be exempted from all the taxes and duties like excise,
central sales tax and octroi etc. To enhance milk production during the next five years as well as to address the issues
referred in the foregoing sentences, there is an imperative need of policy support from the government on the following
core areas
Clean and quality milk production, processing and packaging
Boost the exports of milk and milk products
Enhance milk production and mulch animal productivity
2.1.3 Indian Dairy: The organized sector is expanding rapidly.
Indias modern dairy sector has expanded rapidly. From an insignificant 200,000 liters per day (lpd) of milk
being processed in 1951, the organized sector is presently handling some 20 million lpd in over 400 dairy plants.
Already, one of the worlds largest liquid milk plants is located in Delhi and handling over 800,000 liters of milk per day
(Mother Dairy, Delhi). India's first automated dairy Mother Dairy has been established at Gandhi agar near
Ahmadabad, Gujarat, in Western India and its capacity is capacity is 1 million lpd. It is owned by Indias biggest dairy
cooperative group, in Anand, with an annual turnover in excess of Rs 23 billion (US $500 million). Amul-III with its
satellite dairies, with total installed capacity of 1.5 million lpd has also been commissioned. India's first vertical dairy
(capacity: 400,000 lpd), owned by the Pradeshik Cooperative Dairy Federation (PCDF) has been commissioned at
Noida, outside Delhi
Dairy is a place where handling of milk and milk products is done and technology refers to the application of
scientific knowledge for practical purposes.

In India, dairying has been practiced as a rural cottage industry since the remote past. Semi-commercial dairying
started with the establishment of military dairy farms and co-operative milk unions throughout the country towards the
end of the nineteenth century.
The Indian Dairy Industry has made rapid progress since Independence. A large number of modern milk plants
and product factories have since been established. These organized dairies have been successfully engaged in the
routine commercial production of pasteurized bottled milk and various Western and Indian dairy products. With modern
knowledge of the protection of milk during transportation, it became possible to locate dairies where land was less
expensive and crops could be grown more economically.
2.2 DAIRY INDUSTRY PROFILE
Human population: 953 million (70 million dairy farmers)
Milk production: 74.3 million tonnes (203.5 million lpd)

Milk yield per breed able bovine in-milk: 1,250 kg
Cattle feed production (organized sector): 1.5 million tonnes
Turnover of veterinary pharmaceuticals: Rs. 550 crores
Dairy plants throughput: 20 mlpd
Specific features of dairy in relation to marketing in developing countries

The dairy industry in the developing countries has a number of specific features which distinguish it from the
other sectors of agriculture and have particular implications for marketing.
First, milk consists of over 85% water, and produced daily. Consequently, high costs of transportation are
incurred per unit of output marketed. Also, milk being highly perishable, it needs to be used within a short period or
processed and transformed into a more stable, longer-storable form. The quality of milk depends on farm management
practices, and milk is potentially subject to adulteration, so strict and comprehensive quality regulations may be
necessary when marketing involves more than direct delivery by producers to consumers.
Second, the vast majority of the dairy farmers are small-scale producers, who produce milk as a source of
regular cash income. Dairy production is a labor-intensive enterprise, and dairy marketing activities often provide
substantial employment. However, because of asset fixity (high percentage of fixed costs), dairy enterprises often
respond to market changes and incentives in a limited and gradual way.
MSRCASC
Page 8

Third, milk can be used to make a wide range of high quality palatable and nutritious products, which often imply
substantial value added over the cost of the raw material. When production and consumption points are far apart and
demand increase rapidly, processing of dairy products becomes very important.
Fourth, as a consequence of the above features of milk and the market vulnerability of its producers,
cooperatives may assume a strong position in milk processing.
A survey by the International Dairy Federation in 1984 revealed that in 21 developed countries together
accounting for 55% of the world's milk supply, producer cooperatives marketed 86% of total sales of milk from farm to
the first handler. In some of these countries, cooperatives also handled 80-90% of the total processing activity. It may be
noted that the history of development of dairy cooperatives in these countries are not always similar. However, in most
developing countries, dairy producer cooperatives and cooperative processing are either non-existent or very weak. The
need for cooperatives in these countries is driven by the need to capture some economies of scale in transportation and
processing where numerous small producers are scattered far away from the consumption centers. In many countries,
this gap has been filled by establishment of parasitical dairy enterprises for collection and processing of milk to promote
domestic dairy.
In most cases, these enterprises ended up processing subsidized imported dairy products, neglecting the rural
dairy sector. The monopolistic character of these enterprises often led to inefficiency thus they failed to serve the
interests of domestic producers and consumers.
Weaknesses in physical and marketing links between rural producers and urban processors and consumers are
among the major constraints to dairy development in the developing countries. It is important to be aware of and
understand how such constraints can be addressed in order to devise mechanisms that can transfer growing urban
demand into increased livestock production. Inadequate infrastructure and inefficient marketing may lead to increased
transactions costs and/or market failure. By better understanding these costs and identifying the ways of reducing their
impact, policy prescriptions can be made to promote economic development by fostering production and trade.

2.3 NATIONAL DARIY DEVELOPMENT BOARD:
2.3.1 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 Indians 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 Bahaddur 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 farmers investment with inputs and
services.
In 1969, when the Government of India approved the Operation Flood programme and its financing through the
monetization of World Food Programme-gifted commodities, it was found that the statutes under which NDDB was
registered did not provide for handling of government funds. Therefore, in 1970 the government established a publicsector company, the Indian Dairy Corporation. The IDC was given responsibility for receiving the projects donated
commodities; testing their quality; their storage and transfer to user dairies and receiving the dairy payments. Thus it
served as finance-cum-promotion entity while the entire Operation Flood technical support was provided by NDDB. To
avoid any duplication in their activities or overlap of functions, the IDC and NDDB were eventually merged into a newly
constituted NDDB by an Act of Parliament passed in October 1987.
2.3.2 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 worlds largest milk producing country. As per March 2001
Indias 96000 Dairy Co-operative are integrated thorough a three Tier Co-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
Indias 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.

History:
A group of experienced officers, appointed by the Karnataka Milk Federation surveyed the whole of Dharwad
districts (includes two newly formed district Gadag and Haveri) and Uttar Karnataka. Further they found out there as a
need for a Milk Dairy. They traveled the surrounding villages, educated the villagers about Milk and Milk Products and
the benefits they would get from the Milk Dairy.
Seeing the overwhelming response and untapped resources and the huge market the Federation decided to
setup the Milk Union in 1984, known as the DHARWAD DISTRICT CO-OPERATIVE MILK PRODUCERS SOCIETIES
UNION LIMITED Further in 1988, the Raipur Dairy and Chilling Center, setup in 1968, also came under the union. In
1989, the training center, which was controlled by KMF, came under Dharwad Milk Union.
Functions of DMU:
The main function of DMU is to procure milk from villagers and pay them the right price.
To educate the villagers about milk and its quality.
To make 'Nandini' as a part of daily life.
To provide good quality of cattle feed, fodder, veterinary aid seeds, etc., to the villagers.
To see that the DCS's are carrying out their activities properly and in an efficient manner.
To see that the milk is brought from DCS's to the chilling centers in the prescribed time.
To look the accounts of the DCS's supervise the purchase process and market the milk and milk products.

Procurements of good milk
Supplying quality milk to the customer in the city for appropriate price
Process at DMU:
The milk collected at DCS's is brought to the center through carriers, 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 it is to be brought down to 4C to 5 degree 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 "Ram Milk Tank".
From this tank the milk is pumped to a pasteurizing cell where the milk is heated up to 72C and 15 seconds, so
that all the bacteria and microorganisms may be killed and then the milk is simultaneously cooled to 4C to 5 degree C
and is stored in a "Pasteurized Milk Tank"

bowl. Later, it is poured in dump tank. Sample testing is made through lactometer reading and other tests. The fat and
SNF content of each sample of milk is accessed the cow and buffalo's milk are separately received and sent to the
production section separately through two different stainless steel pipes.
Later, the raw milk is passed through plate chiller of variable capacity where it is cooled up to 4-5 degrees
Celsius. This cooled raw material is further stored in a silo of 30,000 liters capacity.
PURPOSE OF CHILLING:
This is done to avoid the growth of microorganisms, which are responsible for spoilage of milk and bitter taste.
The milk, which is stored in silos, is pumped through pipeline to the balance tank, which helps to maintain the steady
speed flow of milk in the Pasteurization machine. In, DMU there are 2 milk Pasteurization machine and 1 Cream
Pasteurization machine.
PURPOSE OF PASTEURIZATION:
Pasteurization is a process where milk is heated to high temperature and cooled instantly, to destroy any
microorganism. The pasteurized milk will stored in Pasteurized milk silos and then sent to pre-packing section. Packing
is done in 500ml and 1000ml and stored in cold storage at 7.
PASTEURIZATION OF CREAM:
The milk in bulk is taken to the cream separator. Here, the, cream is separated. The cream is passed through
cream Pasteurization Unit. This cream is sent to Butter Section. The milk with no fat is skimmed milk. This skim milk 'is
pumped back to Pasteurization Unit and heated to 72 using steam and chilled to 4 using chilled water and stored
silos. This skimmed milk is sent to powder section. The pasteurize cream is mixed in portion to pasteurized milk.
CURDS:
Raw milk is heated to 90 and allowed to cool to 30. Later culture is added to it and packed; the curd is formed
in the packet itself. It is stored and packed in 200gms and 500gms.
BUTTER:
The cream, which is stored in cream refining tank, is taken to the churning section where it is churned. Here
MSRCASC
Page 37

butler fat and buttermilk are separated. The vacuum pump removes excess of moisture and butter comes out of
continuous butter making machine (capacity - 1500 kgs/hour). Butler is packed in 100, 200 and 500 gms and also in 10,
25 gms, these are stored in deep freezer room with temperature - 22 and if the order of salt butter they mix the salt
water with cream and other process is same.
GHEE:
There are 2 Ghee Boiler of capacity 1500 kgs/batch. A Butter of 2.5 tons is melted and is brought to Ghee
Boiler. Here it is heated to 116-117 degree Celsius for 15 minutes so that the residue is allowed to settle down and
Ghee is passed to setting tank through clarifiers. Later Ghee is allowed for cooling (at 30-40) and packed in Tin of
Liter, 500 ml and 200 ml of pack and kept in the cold storage.
PANEER:
If there is excess of milk, then, Paneer is been made. The milk is heated to 90 0 for 15-20 minutes. Glacial acetic
acid is added to milk and then milk is strained through fine muslin cloth. The solid potion is retained and is put in water
and then it is put in chilled water and left overnight. Later it is packed and stored in cold storage.
MILK POWDER:
When there is excess of milk. Milk powder is made. The capacity of the powder plant is 12 tons. There are two
sections Evaporator and Spray Drier through which milk is converted to Milk Powder. In Evaporator, milk is boiled for
55 at high vacuum. Milk is concentrated to drier 40-45% of milk is solid, moisture is removed and the milk power
obtained consists of 4% moisture.
PEDHA:
Dharwad is famous for its delicious Peda. DMU has separate Peda section. About 80 Liters (depends upon the
demand) is heated continuously for 3 hours till the milk is semi-solid, later sugar and other ingredients are added and
stirred continuously on low flame. Later it cooled and it is shaped in small balls and packed.

SWOT ANALYSIS
MSRCASC
Page 59
Strengths:
Nandini enjoys good brand image. Dharwad milk union is one the leading producer of milk products & it has
wide area of Market, Nandini is a trusted house hold brand name, more than two lakhs farmer members were
supplying milk.
It has large procurement system.
Huge infrastructure for processing.
Competitive prices for all products.
Wide distribution network leads to regular and timely supply.
It enjoys highest market shares in the packed milk segment.
Provides excellent veterinary, vaccination, Extension facilities, Feeds and Fodder seeds supply etc., in the
field, which cannot be thought off by any private operator. Hence earned lot of goodwill from member
producers, who patronize the union throughout the year.
Has earned the distinction of not failing to deliver the milk to market on time throughout the year. There are
days with no power supply, no water supply; but there is no day without NANDINI milk supply.
DMU is giving highly remunerative and timely payment to its producers & this has a good on suppliers and
made Union to be in good financial position.
ISO 9001-2000 certificate.

Good institutional support from KMF, NDDB, by giving financial support and guidance to the DMU. DMU is
equipped with fully automatic systems which ensure total quality maintenance.
MSRCASC
Page 60
Weaknesses:
Lack of flexibility in deciding about its operation. No authority over issues like pricing, offering volume discounts
etc. The president of KMF and the Board of directors DMU decides it.
Perishable commodity. Milk is Perishable commodity it cannot be store in long.
Lack of professional manpower. In DHARWAD MILK UNION department heads are not based on qualification.
Bureaucratic method of functions.
Lacking quality consistency because of seasonal changes in the supply of milk.
Less buffalo milk. Because of which customers preferring buffalo milk may get attracted to other brands.
Inadequate sales promotional activity.
Due to bad smell that persists causes low sales.
Some private dairies are selling homogenized milk, which appears rich. The union cannot homogenize all its
huge quantity of milk due to lack of homogenizing capacity and increase in processing cost.
DMU Organizational structure does not permit incentive/ reward for good performance of an employee.
DMU Company should distribute their product directly to sellers without keeping any middlemen and agents
because part of profit is divided between middlemen and agents. About 65-70% of the marketing is done directly
the rest of 35-40% is done using middle men.
MSRCASC
Page 61
Opportunities:
There is a phenomenal scope for innovation in product development, packing and presentation.
Steps to taken to introduce value added products like shrikhands, ice-creams, paneer, khoa, flavored milk, dairy
sweets etc. this will lead to a greater presence and flexibility in the market place along with the opportunities in
the field of brand building.
Yet another aspect can be the addition of infant foods and nutritionals.
Increasing market demand for milk and milk products.
There is scope for developing in unexplored areas for milk processing as Nandini can extend its equity of brand.
Addition of buffalo milk will improve market share.
Since the DHARWAD district is under Cauvery basin, perennial greens are available to the cattle. This makes
the farmers to rare the cattle easily from this DMU is getting huge amount of milk.
Institutional markets, bakeries, hotels etc., are not fully tapped and these can be captured preferably by direct
marketing.
Diversification of milk products like Peda, Mysore Pak, cashew burfi, lassie, milk powders, masala majjige.
Exploit the Human Face, by positioning in the market as an organization with social responsibilities of serving
the milk produced by paying remunerative price and serving customer by offering hygienic quality product at a
reasonable price throughout the year. Union is not in the business to maximise the profit as in the case of
private dairies and is acting as price stabilizing force in the market. Projecting these to the customers will
reinforce the positive image of the organization in customers minds as a caring organization which service to
them as its motto.
DMU is SELLING its products to different states like Tamilnadu, Kerala and Andrapradesh.
MSRCASC
Page 62
Threats:
Increase of competitor's milk vendors in organized sector.
Flexibility in commission structure by competitors may attract the distributors.
No entry barriers for private players.
Low level of consumer awareness in Dharwad and surrounding areas.
After liberalization, entry barriers in the dairy industry eased for new entrants.
The competition from Co-operatives like Dodla, Heritage, Kamadenu, they producing different milk products
which are giving a good competition to the MYMUL, etc.
Private dairies procure milk at low cost from producers and sell milk resorting to unethical trade practices. It is a
marketing war in which union has to fight by rules and other private dairies do not fight by rules. Hence, there is
no level playing field for organization with social responsibilities to compete with organizations with purely profit
motive.
Plans of major companies like Reliance, ITC to enter into milk market in future.

used by Dharwad Milk union.

famous brands such as Arokya, siddhadhara, varana etc. It has to adapt modern technology in the production process
