13. REASON TO CHOOSE
As Gujarat Cooperative Milk Marketing Federation
Ltd. (GCMMF), is India's largest food product marketing
organisation with annual turnover (2011-12) US$ 2.5 billion.
Its daily milk procurement is approx 13 million lit (peak
period) per day from 16,117 village milk cooperative societies,
17 member unions covering 24 districts, and 3.18 million
milk producer members thats why I have chosen this
company.
The consumer plays an important part in any organisation
thus a study on consumer buying behaviour would be a great
learning from this project.
I always wanted to work in F.M.C.G. sector related to
market work. This project helped me to study the consumer
buying behaviour of a huge F.M.C.G. Brand i.e. Amul as it is
a growing company it helped me to get a gist of this sector.
14. Objective of the project
Primary Objective:
To know the awareness level among the consumer for the
“Amul Milk.”
To find out the causes of buying the “Amul Milk.”
Secondary Objective :
To find out the causes of not buying the “Amul Milk.”
To know the awareness level of Amul Gold & Amul
Double Toned milk

consumer buying behaviour of Amul Milk.

quality of the product.
To know the competitors position in
Nagpur market.
To collect the valuable suggestions of the

23. ANALYSIS & FINDINGS
During the first seven days of the project I have
daily visited at 4.30 a.m. morning to the

SQUARE, Nagpur to know all the activities takes
place regarding to the distribution of milk.
During fifteen days I have done survey by filling
up scheduled questionnaire carried out at
MEDICAL SQUARE retail outlets , sweet
marts , tea stalls Newspapers Stalls.
24. ANALYSIS & FINDINGS
Thirty days convenience to the retailers , sweet mart
holders tea stallholders , Newspapers stall holder to
keep the AMUL milk & milk products for the sale in their
outlets , by visiting their outlet as per the particular areas
given to me by my external guide (AMUL Sr sales
executive).
During eight day we have done group activity like
distribution of boarder , sticker of AMUL ads , posters as
well as publicity of AMUL product at the retail outlet. We
have also distributed discount coupon to the customer to
increase sale.
25. Limitations of the Study
Limited time available for interviewing the respondents.
As a result of this it was not possible to gather full
information about the respondents.
The respondents were not very comfortable while
revealing their correct usage pattern, no cause they may
feel that they would be called or visited again and again.
Non-cooperative approach and rude behavior of the
respondents.
Language barrier
The time constraint was a major limitation to the study.
26. FINDINGS
During the survey, it was found that the market share was approximately
70%.
It was found that Amul Taaza is the most preferred brand of Amul Milk.
It was found that consumers buy Amul Taaza more than Amul Gold.
Generally people buy the product because of better quality and brand name.
During the survey, it was found that still there consumer that are unaware
about the “Amul Gold Milk.”
27. FINDINGS
The awareness of Amul Gold Milk was because of Shopkeepers.
The price of the "Amul Gold Milk" is Comparatively high as compare
to products of other company of same quality.
Generally people do not buy" Amul Gold Milk" because of higher
price and because Amul Gold is Buffalo Milk which is not been
preferred to give to the infants.
The awareness of "Amul Double Tonned Milk" was Zero.
Advertisement should be given to increase the level of awareness
and sale of the product.
28. SUGGESTIONS
The price of Amul Gold Milk is high as compared to other
brands of same quality(higher fat percentage). So the
price should be decreased to increase the sale of the
product.
The G.C.M.M.F. should advertise for the product to
increase the awareness level and sales of the products
specially for Amul Double Toned milk.
The G.C.M.M.F. should launch beneficial schemes for
the retailers.
29. CONCLUSION
From the survey it was found that the
awareness level among the customer is high
but the market share is comparatively low.
The consumer buying of Amul milk because of
its Brand name and better taste. Some
consumer are unaware of Amul Gold Milk.
The awareness level of Amul Double Toned
Milk is zero.
Consumer do not buy Amul Gold Milk mainly
due to higher price of the same category of
milk.
