3. INTRODUCTION
AMUL (Anand Milk Union Limited) company was
Founded in 1946, a dairy cooperative movement in
India.
Dr. Verghese Kurien , former chairman of the company.
He was the man behind the success of Amul.
It is the largest food brand as well as biggest vegetarian
cheese brand in India and involved rural development.
It is one of the best example of the cooperative
achievement in the developing countries.
4. BUSINESS MODEL
Amul followed a unique business model, which aimed at providing
'value for money' products to its consumers, while protecting the
interests of the milk-producing farmers who were its suppliers as
well as its owners. It has a three-tiered structure.
Every milk producer of the village is a member of the Village Dairy
Cooperative Society. These members elect their representatives.
These representatives together manage District Milk Unions.
These district milk unions take care of milk and milk products and
their processing. They sell these products to the State Milk
Federation. State Milk Federation then acts as the distributor that
sells or facilitates the selling of the products in the market .
5. BUSINESS MODEL
As one can understand from this model, the dairy is in control of the
villagers themselves. The district unions manage their processing and
packaging. These unions employ professionals to manage the dairy,
processing, packaging, and other links in the supply chain.
Farmer organizations come together under one umbrella of Amul
and they directly sell products to consumers through state milk
federation. This elimination of intermediaries could ensure a good
quality product at a competitive price.
