2. INDIAN DAIRY INDUSTRY
 India is world’s largest producer of dairy
products by volume.
 It is accounting more than 13% of world’s
total milk production.
 Also India is world’s largest consumer of
dairy products, consuming almost all of its
own milk production.
 Indian dairy market is growing at an annual
rate of 7%. 2

3. CONT…
 Interests from private sector investors have
facilitated construction of larger dairies
through partnering with dairy processors.
 Indian dairy industry is different from other
dairy producing countries as India places its
emphasis on both cattle and buffalo milk.
 India nevertheless faces a milk supply gap
due to increasing demand from a growing
middle class population. 3

4. CHALLENGES FACED BY INDIAN
DAIRY INDUSTRY
 Procurement (collection)
• The three-tier system of milk collection
 Advent of organized retail channels
• Increased availability of branded, packaged
milk
• Reduced role of middlemen, mainly the milk
vendors
4

5.  Distribution
• Lack of superior cold-storage transport
• Distribution wastage due to improper storage
• No enforcement of HACCP principles
 Lack of supporting information systems
• Database maintained by Milk Producers
Organizations in developed countries

23. BENEFITS OF IT
 Processing of 10 Million payments daily, amounting to
transactions worth USD 3.78 million in cash.

middlemen.
 Improved delivery mechanisms and transparency of
business operations.
 Due to this process, AMUL is able to collect six million
litres of milk per day.
 Huge reduction in processing time for effecting
payments to the farmers from a week to couple of

27. THE CHANNEL NETWORK
Procurement channel- upstream flow
Distribution channel- downstream
flow
27

28. PROCUREMENT
 Activities at the village level comprised
developing and servicing the VCSs.
 Increasing milk collection, procuring milk, and
transporting it to the chilling and processing units
twice a day.
 The VCSs provided the farmers with good quality
animal feed, fodder, and other services like
veterinary first aid.
28

29. PROCUREMENT CHANNEL
(UPSTREAM)
 On an average around thousand farmers come to sell
milk at their local co-operative milk collection center.
 Each farmer has been given a plastic card for
identification.
 At the milk collection counter, the farmer drops the
card into a box and the identification number is
transmitted to a personal computer attached to the
machine.
 The milk is then weighed and the fat content of the
milk is measured by an electronic fat testing machine.

30. CONT…
 Both these details are recorded in the PC. The
computer then calculates the amount due to
farmer on the basis of the fat content.
 The value of the milk is then printed out on a
slip and handed over to farmer who collects the
payment at adjacent window.

32. COLD STORAGE NETWORK
 Chillers in proximity of villages
 Prompt transport to district facilities for
further dispatch to consumers/ processing
units.
 Chilled trucks to transport processed products
 Delivery to local chillers by insulated rail
tankers and chilled trucks.
 Refrigerators and freezers with retailers and

33. DISTRIBUTION
 GCMMF coordinated with various unions to get a
regular supply of milk and dairy products.
 The processed milk and dairy products were
procured from district dairy unions and distributed
through third party distributors.
 To ensure quality and timely deliveries, GCMMF and
the district unions had several mechanisms in
place.
 The unions monitored the supplies of milk and the
distribution of finished products.
