are certain issues related to placement as well.

Although Southern Foods has strong distribution network for Dairy
items, but they are not using it for other brands.
Retailers are not willing to have these new brands of Southern Foods in
shelves because of lesser awareness of these brands in general public,
such as Milk Vita, Pran, Arong, Firm Fresh, others cream. Moreover
these brands are not placed appropriately against the competing brands.
