HISTORICAL GROTH IN GCMMF SECTOR
Founded in 1946, Amul is one of those famous brands known to
every household of the country. Recently, the company has
declared its financial results crossing 18,000 cr in 2013-14 with a
jump of 32% from the previous year. The company claims to have
clocked the fastest growth in the history of the four decade-old
dairy cooperative and has a vision to achieve 30,000 crores by
2018-19.
There have been some exhaustive back-end initiatives in the last 3-
4 years that contributed
. to Amul’s impressive growth results. Four
years back, the company started expanding its wholesale dealers
and retailers’ network following hub & spoke distribution model
with the aim to reach the maximum tier II & III cities, RS Sodhi,
MD, GCMMF (Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation)
told ET retail.
In the past nine years, milk procurement by GCMMF
member milk cooperatives witnessed an increase of 153 per
cent, said its chairman Ramsingh Parmar. To achieve this
estimated growth in demand, the time is ripe for the Second
White Revolution in India, he said.
Another major strategy that added to the growth was
expanding the ‘product mix’ with attractive packaging
materials. After conducting a detailed market research, the
products were launched mainly to attract the young
generation of the country such as Amul Kool beverages in
PET bottles, Flavoured
,yoghurt, Amul PRO, cheese spread in various new flavour,
etc. There were products launched for regional demands
which included Brown Ghee, Kadhi Dahi. Amul also took
the production at various destinations outside Gujarat to
meet the quick demand of Pouch Milk, Butter Milk and Curd..
DE-GROWTH IN GCMMF
SECTOR
Amul chocolates are definitely of very good quality. But for reasons
unknown, the organization has never stressed on the marketing of its
chocolates. Which is surprising, considering the excellent marketing
of its butter and cheese products. Amul has successfully taken on
established MNC branded butter and cheese, and established its
supremacy in both these products. However, it has never taken the
marketing of its chocolates with equal importance.
Why did Amul Chocolate fail?
Weaknesses in the SWOT analysis of Amul Chocolates
Some of the key weaknesses of Amul Chocolates are: Lack of
importance: Amul has never emphasized enough on its chocolates and
the vertical has always been regarded as
a low importance category with the company choosing to focus on
butter or cheese
Amul cooperative was registered on 19 December 1946 as a response to
the exploitation of marginal milk producers by traders and agents in small
cities. The prices of milk were arbitrarily determined at the time. The
government had given Polson an effective monopoly in milk collection
from Kaira and its subsequent supply to Mumbai.
Amul is an Indian dairy cooperative society, based at Anand in the Indian
state of Gujarat. Formed in 1946, it is a cooperative brand managed by a
COMPANY
cooperative body, the Gujarat Co-operative Milk Marketing Federation
Ltd. (GCMMF), which today is jointly owned by 36 lakh (3.6 million) milk
SNAPSHO
producers in Gujarat, and the apex body of 13 District Milk Unions, spread
across 13,000 villages of Gujarat. Amul spurred India's White Revolution,
T
which made the country the world's largest producer of milk and milk
products.
Kaira District Milk Union Limited (later renamed to Amul - Anand Milk
Union Limited) was founded in 1946 through the efforts of
Tribhuvandas Patel. Amul's foundation was a significant contributor to the
white revolution in India.
Tribhuvandas Patel under the guidance of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel became
the founding chairman of the organization and led it until his retirement in
the 70s. He hired Dr. Verghese Kurien in 1949. He convinced Dr. Kurien to
stay and help with the mission.
Kurien, founder-chairman of the GCMMF for more than 30 years (1973–
2006), is credited with the success of Amul's marketing. Amul has ventured
into markets overseas.

Targeting
When Amul was formed, consumers had limited purchasing power, and modest
consumption levels of milk and other dairy products. Thus, Amul adopted a
low-cost price strategy to make its product affordable and attractive to
consumers. This helped Amul butter create its brand image in the household
sector of the society.
