3.LITERATURE REVIEW
The dairy industry includes processing raw milk into products such as customer
milk, butter, cheese, yogurt, condensed milk, dried milk (milk powder), and ice
cream through procedures such as chilling, pasteurization, and homogenization.
Buttermilk, whey, and their derivatives are typical by-products. While most
nations manufacture their own dairy products, the dairy industry's structure
varies.
The dairy market is projected to be valued at USD 703.5 billion by 2024, while
registering a CAGR of 5% over the forecast period.
In 2018, the global milk output was valued at 843 million ton, an increase of
2.2% from the valued registered in 2017. This increase can be primarily
attributed to production expansions in India, Turkey, the European Union,
Pakistan, the United States, and Argentina. However, this factor was partially
offset by a decline in milk output, especially in China and Ukraine.
Overall, butter exports raised by 7.5% in 2018, primarily from nations such as New
Zealand, the United States, and India. However, the demand for butter has declined
in the European Union.
3.1Operation flood
Program implementation:
Phase-I
(1970-1980) was funded through the sale of skimmed milk powder and butter
oil provided through the World Food Program by the European Union and then
the EEC. The NDDB scheduled the program and negotiated EEC aid
information.
Operation Flood connected 18 of India's top milk sheds with customers in the
four main metropolitan towns of India during its first stage: Delhi, Mumbai,
Calcutta, and Chennai.
Phase-II
Phase II (1981-85) of Operation Flood boosted milk sheds from 18 to 136; 290 urban
markets extended milk stores. By the end of 1985, 43,000 village cooperatives
covering 4.25 million milk manufacturers had become a reality self-sustaining
scheme. The manufacturing of domestic milk powder risen from 22,000 tonnes in the
pre-project year to 140,000 tons by 1989, all of which came from dairies established
under Operation Flood. EEC donations and loan from the World Bank helped
encourage self-reliance in this manner. Direct milk marketing by cooperatives of
manufacturers raised by several million litters per day
Phase-III
Phase III
"Operation flood can be viewed as twenty year experiment confirming the Rural
Development Vision" (World Bank Report 1997c.)
Lal Bahadur Shastri, to extend the achievement of the Kaira Cooperative Milk
Producer's Union (in Mother's State) to other areas of India.
The NDDB started its activities with the mission of creating a car dairy for
millions of grassroots milk manufacturers to have a better future. The mission
achieved momentum and direction with the launch of "Operation Flood" in
1970, a 30-year program that used loan from the World Bank to finance the
emergence of India as the largest producing nation in the world. Milk
commodity surpluses were building up in Europe during this era. Imports from
Europe had already had a negative impact on India's dairy industry. Imports by
individual players in India would have led in a country-wide market glut and a
drop in prices. With the support of public policy and the support of the World
Food Program, NDDB imported food aid in the form of milk powder and butter
oil and sold it under its own brand name. The surplus from these sales has been
invested in expanding the dairy industry cooperative movement. The third stage
of Operation Flood was finished in 1996 and has a number of important
accomplishments to its credit.
The Dairy Board has been planning and leading India's dairy programs since its
founding by putting dairy growth in the hands of milk manufacturers and the
experts they hire to handle their cooperatives. Furthermore, on an extensive and
nationwide basis, NDDB also encourages other commodity-based cooperatives,
associated sectors and veterinary biology.

4.Research methodology
The study took place between June 2019 and July 2019. The study involves
meeting with franchiser, retailers and customers. It involves preparing the
questionnaire to be answered by the above-mentioned individuals to understand
customers and franchiser ' knowledge and comprehension of the DESI farms
dairy products in Pune market's. In the studies, as per the questionnaire, the
opinions of the above clients were register
Research approach:
The unbiased view of the participants was desirable to perform the study
effectively. The study I performed as the representative of the Desi farms
company and sometimes the representatives of the other brands such as Chitale
or Amul in order to have an unbiased view of the individuals involved and it
worked towards the required objective.
Type of research:
This is descriptive and exploratory research for my studies. I conduct a sample
survey. To understand the market potential of desi farms milk product it is
necessary to find out the variables related to product awareness quality etc
There are many variables that can be known through exploratory studies related
to the milk products, but we cannot achieve a choice without descriptive
research.
Data Type:
The primary data collected through face to face interview and questioner. Here
data require for the understanding of brand and product awareness Desi farms
from Pune city (Hinjewadi area) for the secondary data I had used last 4 months
performance reports and company web site.
4.1Research instrument:
The research instrument was structured questioner formulated for the respondents
Respondents were retailers, consumer, franchiser etc there was separate questioner for
consumer, retailers and franchiser.
TYPES OF QUESTION:
In the design of a question, the significant element is to decide which kinds of
question to use. Questions can be categorized in different ways.
1. Open-ended question
2. Dichotomous question
3. Multiple-choice Question
The questionnaire consists of all three types of question. Mostly all questions
are multiple type questions. Dichotomous and open ended questions are few in
number.
Phrasing of question:
Following factors were taken into account while phrasing the questions:
As a researcher, the first and foremost question we have to ask is: in what
language will the respondent understand and respond?
Fatigue:
Consumers are becoming increasingly tired of answering market research
issues. Since I also have to ask franchiser ' questions and they're too busy in
their work. Therefore, by avoiding unnecessary questions, I made my
questionnaire as short as possible so it didn't take much time to get the data.
Sequencing of question:
I arranged the questions in a sequence starting from introductory question and
then proceed to main body of question.
Sampling technique:
Milk and dairy products is a fundamental commodity used by almost every
household, so the sample taken for studies requires no strata or population
segment. So for conducting the study, a simple random sampling method was
used.
Method of survey:
Personal Interview
It is direct form of investigation, involving face-to-face communication with
free feedback information. It offers a sense of participation.
Area of operation:
Pune city (Hinjewadi area)

and capture of market
Effective product awareness should provided by desi farms to consumers
Company should provide offers & other benefits to franchiser
Company should improve Pricing policy about the product
Desi farms visibility is very low in Pune in terms of advertisement hence
Desi farms should come up with advertisement of brand as well as
advertisement of benefits of the products.
Desi farms should improve refund policy for customers & franchiser
7.INTEGRATED BRAND PROMOTION – IBP
Integrated brand promotion is described as a brand to generate brand exposure
using a broad variety of communication and promotional tools. Our target
market is small area so we avoid large-scale advertising. We were use POP,
Wall painting and Pamphlets will be advertising media car. The entire
marketing should operate together in order to achieve integrated brand
marketing
ADVERTISING:
The final result of the project is that the awareness about the Desi farms
milk product is very low to the consumers and the percentage of buying our
product also low .so company should change their pricing and marketing
strategies and focus on brand awareness
