EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Dairy Queen Milk is a product of Haleeb Foods. Haleeb Foods is a largest company in
Pakistan’s dairy industry. Haleeb Foods is one of the organization competing in the UHT Milk
industry. There is a big room for development in dairy industry in Pakistan. UHT milk although
costly but people know about the milk importance and its quality. Now, there are many products
are available in the market regarding UHT milk but Haleeb found that there is a gap between
upper class and lower class, so, Haleeb decided to introduce lower price milk with best quality
and UHT treated milk for those whom can not afford high price milk. Dairy Queen is Haleeb
another standardized and homogenized pure UHT Milk with 3.5% fat and 8.9% solid non fats. At
an affordable price it has won the hearts of consumers everywhere. It is available in 6-layered
Tetra Pak Fino Packaging, introduced for the first time in Pakistan and has 2 months shelf life.
Government of Pakistan is now focusing on dairy industry.
R&D department of Haleeb Foods is continuous watching the market trend and the
development in dairy industry. Strategy of the dairy queen is to provide UHT milk for those
whom cannot afford high price milk and capture the share of the market. Dairy queen milk has
no competitor in terms of actual condition of the packaging and price. So, we can say that there
is no strategic group of dairy queen milk. It is unique product available in the market with its low
price positioning.
Government polices makes it easy to enter in this market but technology, availability of
raw milk, and process makes it difficult for the up coming companies in this industry. Although,
middle and lower class is the target market of the dairy queen but its quality and packaging
attract the upper class as well. UHT treated milk is dependent on the production of the healthy
animals and availability of raw milk. As the competition is concerned, there are many
companies in the particular industry and they are competing with each other with price,
positioning, packaging and availability.
This is time of advertising because when customer knows about your product then he will
be welling to purchase that product. Haleeb Foods Limited has hired Red Communication Arts as
their new advertising agency which will be handling the following accounts: 1. BEVERAGES:
Haleeb Good Day, Haleeb Funday, Tropico, Tropico Nectar, Candia, Candy Up, Haleeb Labban
2.Corporate account. Now, mostly companies are using these tools to promote their products and

image as well. Total share of packed milk is 4% and 96% is for loss milk. Turnover of Haleeb is
9.2 billon. Haleeb Rashmi is also providing profit to the company because this is low cost
product and it has its own packaging. It’s daily sale is 11000 litter per day. As market share is
concern, Haleeb got 44% last year, Nestle 43%, Good Milk 4.5% and Norpur 10% last year. So,
Competitor of Haleeb is Nestle because there nick to nick competition.
Nestle has long rang product line as compare to Haleeb. When we talk about the gaps
there is a gap in the implementation gap in strategies. Availability gape and awareness gape is
still there and now company is going to eliminate these gapes. As we know that industry growth
rate is 25% in the dairy industry. Now, the company’s focus is on the gross profit and company is
doing the things to increase the gross profit. The cities which are very important in terms of sale
share are Multan, Sahiwal, Fasil Abad, Gujranwala, and Rawalpindi. These cities are providing
60% to 70% sales of Haleeb.
There are some problem from the customer side and distributor side. Dairy Queen has
fino packaging and its shape is not convenient for the customer. It has three lair packaging so,
leakage problem is from the distributor side.
Now, the best strategy is penetration in maximum household and increase the awareness
of the brand. This will be possible through activities and promotions. Tactical advertising will be
best for the promotional activities of the Dairy Queen.

abundant quantities to the domestic consumers but extra quantities can also be exported. In spite
of having a large population of livestock, the country is spending some $40 million annually on
the import of formula milk only, which is the highest amount spent by any country in the world
on this particular commodity. Currently, there are some 160 varieties of infant formula milk
available in the markets.
“The milk processing companies have reduced supply of their tetra pack milk products in
the domestic market for last couple of weeks in an apparent bid to increase the prices of
processed milk on the pretext of short supply. According to market sources, milk-processing
companies working in formal sector including Nestle, Haleeb, Dairy Queen, Pakola, Olper, and
Good Milk had increased prices of their milk products on September 15, 2005 from Rs34 per
litter to Rs35 per kg. Later on, these companies raised processed milk rates on February 6, 2006
from Rs35 to Rs36 per litter in retail market. “It was the second consecutive upward revision in
prices by these companies in a short span of four months,” General Secretary Karachi Retail
Grocers’ Group Fareed Qureshi told The News. “There is no autonomous authority or effective
institution in the country to protect rights of consumers and to check frequent and unjustified
price hike of different commodities. Neither Monopoly Control Authority (MCA) - now renamed
as Competition Authority - nor local governments took stringent measures against hoarders,
adulterators and profiteers to safeguard the interest of consumers,” a consumer said. Some three
months back fresh milk sellers increased prices from Rs28 per litters to Rs30 per litter at retail
and Rs26 to Rs28 per litter at wholesale level despite repeated warnings by the City District
Government Karachi (CDGK), who fixed official rates of fresh milk at Rs26 at wholesale and
Rs28 per litter at retail. A market source said in the past whenever these companies increased
prices of their products they curtailed their supplies as a first step and then increased prices.
Though Pakistan is the fifth largest milk producer in the world producing around 28 billion litres
of milk annually, it is still importing milk powder and condensed milk. Out of total production
only 5 percent milk is processed on hygienic lines whereas shelf life of the remaining 95 percent
un-processed milk is very short and due to unavailability of proper storage facilities most of milk
produced goes waste.
Government has allocated around Rs230 million for development of dairy industry in
fiscal budget 2006-07. The sector has been allowed duty free import of dairy and livestock-
related machinery and equipment (not manufactured locally). Moreover dairy sector has been

exempted from sales tax besides of withholding tax. In order to reduce the cost of packaging of
dairy products, the duty on imports of raw materials and intermediary goods used in the
manufacture of packaging material has been reduced to 5 percent.”
capabilities. The seminar ended at a positive note with high hopes for the development and
growth of the Pakistan’s dairy sector.”
INDUSTRY DEFINITION
BROAD DEFINITION
When we look into milk industry as a broad definition, this industry operates in a fashion
where raw milk is distributed in two main streams.
Open
Packaged
This open milk is further distributed and transferred to different areas, which include the
same area of production, households, urban and rural areas. Packaged milk is further processed
through different types of processing techniques to produce different categories of packaged milk
that will be categorized and defined in our narrow definition of milk industry.
NARROW DEFINITION
Focusing towards our main industry and closing down our definition more narrow, we see
that packaged milk being broken down to different categories starting from UHT milk,
pasteurized milk, poly-pack milk, bottled milk, etc. Therefore, the industry which we have taken
in narrow definition is packed UHT milk.
UHT means Ultra Heat Treatment. In this process the milk passes through 140 degree
centigrade in 3 seconds and then immediately cooled to 20 degree centigrade in the next 5
seconds, which in turn kills all the bacteria. This is the most sophisticated and advanced process
in the world. At Haleeb Foods Limited we use the indirect method of UHT meaning that milk is
heated by steam passing through stainless steel pipes outside milk. All other brands in Pakistan
use the direct method of heating that is by injecting steam in the milk, this adds water content in
the milk, where as indirect heating in fact evaporates water from the milk.
Final Project of Dairy Queen 14
CORE
The core product or benefit is milk associating energy and health for all ages of people, men
and women.
BASIC
Basic product is something that is sterilized and pure to use, so we can say that UHT treated
milk is a basic form of our core product. As its containing the factor of purity and safe
ingredients with preserved milk quality and features.
AUGMENTED
UHT milk is now coming with different flavors for the kids, then it has also been augmented
through different packaging that are being used by different companies, trying to get potential
out of UHT milk market.
POTENTIAL MARKET
UHT treated milk can be given with some extra hygienic ingredients such as nuts and other
energetic ingredients to make it more hygienic and healthy to use product.

SITUATION ANALYSIS
DAIRY QUEEN MILK
Dairy queen milk has developed a strong position in terms of UHT treated milk in the
industry. Even being a new entrant and serving for just about few years in this industry still Dairy
queen milk managed to obtain a strong position along with its other some competitors. The
product being offered by all competitors is same (talking with respect to basic ingredient and
contents), there is not much difference of offering in the product among the companies. Yet there
Final Project of Dairy Queen 24
has been some difference offered through the packaging of the product. As it is always important
to have a good marketing plan to get itself into market and to grow in your own strategic group,

PEST ANALYSIS
POLITICAL
Dairy Sector in the Policy Context:
“The planners in Pakistan have always been more concerned about development of the
crop sector than dairying in the agriculture economy of the country. After in dependence, the
livestock population in Pakistan significantly deteriorated due to good stock was taken away by
evacuees, indiscriminate slaughter of animals by incoming refugees, dry cows and buffaloes
brought from rural areas by milk dealers for supply of milk in urban areas were slaughtered at
the end of lactation period, and increased demand for meat due to growth of population and
incomes. Urban areas faced acute shortage of milk and dairy products. The planners faced a
policy dilemma of how to increase draught power and milk production simultaneously. Efforts
were made to improve stock of cattle by breeding of indigenous animals, but output of improved
stocks was inadequate to make a dent on the dwindling supplies of improved cattle and buffaloes
in the country. The First Five Year Plan (1955-60) recognizes the importance of improving
breeding centers, operating more hospitals, dispensaries and mobile dispensaries to check spread
of contagious diseases for animals, in addition to providing for research on increasing
supplies of feeds and fodders, and starting pilot schemes for artificial insemination for
improvement of cattle [Government of Pakistan (1957)]. The First Plan was very specific in
removing gujar (a cast of milkmen) colonies from cities like Lahore to outskirts and in
Final Project of Dairy Queen 26
recommending milk supply schemes for Karachi and Lahore on a pilot basis. Under the scheme
government was to buy milk from gawalas (milkmen) residing in gujar colonies and supply
pasteurized milk in sealed bottles through registered milk depots. To reduce adulteration in milk,
the Plan recommended testing of milk for purity. The Plan also suggested that most of the milk
would be produced in villages near the cities where small farmers would specialize in dairying
by keeping half dozen or more cows, produce their own feed and organize them selves in to
cooperatives for assembling, transport and even processing of milk. Soon it became clear that the
First Plan, which articulated the problems at hand quite well proved to be too ambitious in their
implementation as compared to the Plan target. The question of how to improve milk production
capacity remained un-addressed even in the Second Five Year Plan (1960-65), which
experienced major policy shift toward development of the large-scale manufacturing sector.
Hence there was very little planned effort, if any, for the development of the dairy sector.2In the
Third Five Year Plan (1965-70) there was renewed emphasis on agriculture development
with the help of the seed-fertilizer-water technologies (the Green Revolution technologies) for
higher yields in the crop sector.
However, the dairying sector went into oblivion. The milk supply schemes envisaged in
the First Plan for Karachi and Lahore first became operational in Karachi in 1965. With the
support from UNICEF (United Nations Children’s Fund), in later part of sixties, subsidized milk
was made available in Karachi to low-income families and school children. This plant had to be
shut down in 1980 after running in deficit for fifteen consecutive years. Similarly, the Pilot Milk
Supply Project in Lahore also went into production in 1967, but like the project in Karachi this
project also failed to receive the patronage of successive government sand hence was abandoned.
Milk processing industry got a boost as part of the development of the manufacturing sector in
the country somewhere between sixties and seventies, when the private sector established 23
milk pasteurization and sterilization plants around three big cities, e.g., Karachi, Lahore, and
twin cities of Rawalpindi and Islamabad. These plants relied on supplies of skim milk powder
coming under the auspices of the World Food Program, which was recombined and pasteurized
before being sold to consumers. These plants failed mainly due to weak acceptance of the
recombined milk by consumers and its short shelf life. In other words, inadequate supplies of
fresh milk to milk processing industry proved to be the major hurdle in their success. There was
a renewed interest in the milk processing industry in late-seventies and early-eighties when
Final Project of Dairy Queen 27
policy support was provided by the Government in the form of exemptions in income tax, duty
free import of machinery and equipments, and availability of domestic and foreign currency
financing [Government of Pakistan (1990)].
Government has always tried promoting dairy industry within the country. For this
government has given lots of relaxation to milk industry for instance there is no tax or excise
duty on milk products. Government has a complete and comprehensive legal framework for milk
industry to keep things in flow and up to mark within the industry. At the same time government
keeps on revising its policies that could help improving overall industry. But when we say that
there are good policies and regulations to promote industry it also require some attention in terms
of implementation of these regulations and governments have never been able to make industry
follow these regulations and promotional policies due to not so keen interest of governments
officials and also the implementation process has been designed so complicatedly that things
never go smooth when it comes to implement or adopt these policies for industry players. The
reason comes as government couldn’t streamline the things for being practically observed by the
industry or government was not able to regulate the policies in a way that could reduce irritation
and long processing times for the companies.
ECONOMICAL
The main economic factor acting for this industry is uneducated suppliers of raw
material, so lots of raw material is affected in terms of its quality and preservation issues and a
big percentage of raw materials go to waste before its being processed. But at the same time
UHT milk doesn’t have any kind of taxes on it which makes it a good economic factor for the
industry growth and improvements in its production. As UHT milk is a bit costly than the
ordinary milk or non processed milk so income factor of consumer is always an important
economical factor for the industry players. UHT milk industry carry consumers from upper
middle and upper class and income level for this class has increased over time which is
something in favor for the industry.
SOCIAL
Socially the most important thing for the industry is that people have realized the
importance of UHT milk because of its safety and better health issues than ordinary milk that
could carry lots of bacteria and germs during its complete delivery to the end user. But at the
same time people avoid using UHT milk due to its cost factor, being costly consumption of UHT
Final Project of Dairy Queen 28
milk is far less than other un processed milk, but with the time and awareness among people they
have realized that the cost they are paying does pay them back good enough in terms of health
issues and quality of milk. So with time this issue is decreasing as people have got to know the
value of what they are paying for. Critical social issue going around among consumer about UHT
milk is that its something treated or created artificially, which is required to be taken care of by
industry player through their awareness and information campaigns for their consumers to make
them clear about such thoughts they carry about UHT milk to utilize better potential from the
market.
TECHNOLOGICAL
First of all because the farmers or Gawala don’t have the means of transportation to
deliver the milk up the value chain themselves, and they also don’t have the means to maintain
the freshness of the milk (refrigeration) so that the milk retains its actual value. Both issues are
related to the availability of appropriate technologies. Technology is, in this case primarily a
function of capital. In milk and specially UHT milk industry technology is a critical factor in
terms of barriers to entry. Although the market is already saturated, downward pressure on UHT
milk prices could be created through either meeting existing capacity, or the establishment of
new UHT plants. The downward price pressure would then induce new section of socio-
economic cross section to enter the market as consumer of UHT milk. Custom duties on the
import of packaging machinery, which is at the heart of the UHT segment of the industry (either
TetraPack technology, or alternatives), are prohibitively high. The artificial cap on increase on
demand of UHT there fore creates a negative impact on small farmers, who must continue to
supply to the informal sector where they are subject to the Gawala. So because being expensive
as high capital investments are required for establishing UHT milk plants due to heavy capital
cost on machinery this industry is suffering.

processors themselves or either they have a long term contracts with these collection centers. On
the other hand the processing plants or buyers offer lower price to these collection center based
on the fact that these collection centers have their own system of payments to the farmers, based
on the more the payment is paid in advance less is the price in terms of litters, so same is going
through the suppliers and processing units.
BARGAINING POWER OF CUSTOMERS
Bargaining power of customers is relatively improving with time as new entrants have
entered the market. But still as this industry is something that relates to health issues and requires
sensitive and taste related issues so bargaining power has been reduced by some major players
using their brand image and quality image in the market. But with time and awareness in the
market, which include both the customers and the suppliers the bargaining power of customers
has been improving but still its not something that can create big fear for the market players to be
afraid of.
THREAT OF SUBSTITUTES
The UHT milk industry has the highest threat of substitute from the Gawalla market,
where a gawalla (milk man) delivers the Open milk in the homes by himself. The UHT milk
industry has it the highest threat because the Gawalla market is capturing 94% share of the total
milk industry and processed or packed milk industry has only 6% of the total market share. Now,
in that 6% of the packed milk industry, UHT milk has 90% market share. Therefore the only
major and biggest substitute of UHT milk industry is Gawalla industry. It is the fact that the
consumers may quickly switch to the open milk when there is an increase in the prices of UHT
milk products or decrease in the quality of the UHT milk.
INTERNAL RIVALRY
There are two major players in UHT milk industry Nestle MilkPak and CDL, where as
other players collectively have 11% market share while these two players have 45% and 44%
share respectively. So the basic rivalry lies between Neslte and CDL and its has gone higher and
higher with in last couple of years as CDL has been improving relatively but still has to fight
long way to meet Nestle’s brand image and technological superiority in the industry.
playing. Penetration and awareness are main tools for the success of any company. Suppliers are
getting more benefit from the companies due to internal competition. Customer has more choices
then previous and his economical condition is better that’s why he wants more choices. The
power of the customer in being increased by the available choices in the market.
It comes out clearly from an historical review of the past dairy policies in Pakistan that
policy makers never had faith in the development of the dairy sector. For example, a cursory look
at the Five-Year Plans shows that the policy interventions for dairy development were very few
and far between, which also reflects in the poor showing of milk yields per animal, and in the
way milk supply channels are currently organized. In this section, we present a preliminary
review of Pakistan’s dairy development policies in an historical perspective, and highlight the
role played by the market forces in creating incentives for higher milk production by subsistence
and market oriented milk farmers in the country. If we talk about the powers, if supplier power
will increase then company will increase the price and penetrate in lower level and use those
benefits which are given by the Government of Pakistan. If customer bargaining power will
increase, then company will start tactical promotional activities to reduce the bargaining power
of the customer.

HISTORY OF NESTLE
Nestlé was founded in 1866. In the 1860s Henri Nestlé, a pharmacist, developed a food
for babies whose mothers were unable to be breastfed. His first success was a premature infant
who could not tolerate his own mother's milk nor any of the usual substitutes. The value of the
new product was quickly recognized when his new formula saved the child's life, and soon,
Farine Lactée Henri Nestlé was being sold in much of Europe. In 1905 Nestlé merged with the
Anglo-Swiss Condensed Milk Company. By the early 1900s, the company was operating
factories in the United States, United Kingdom, Germany and Spain. World War I created new
demand for dairy products in the form of government contracts. By the end of the war, Nestlé's
production had more than doubled. The first Nestlé factory to begin production in the United
States was opened in Fulton, Oswego County, New York. The factory however was closed in
2001, after the company decided that the cost of restoring, and updating the factory was not
Final Project of Dairy Queen 33
worth the effort. Employees of the factory were furious, and raised the company flag upside
down the day the closing was announced.
After the war, government contracts dried up and consumers switched back to fresh milk.
However, Nestlé's management responded quickly, streamlining operations and reducing debt.
The 1920s saw Nestlé's first expansion into new products, with chocolate the company's second
most important activity. Nestlé felt the effects of World War II immediately. Profits dropped from
$20 million in 1938 to $6 million in 1939. Factories were established in developing countries,
particularly Latin America. Ironically, the war helped with the introduction of the company's
newest product, Nescafé, which was a staple drink of the US military. Nestlé's production and
sales rose in the wartime economy.
The end of World War II was the beginning of a dynamic phase for Nestlé. Growth
accelerated and companies were acquired. In 1947 came the merger with Maggi seasonings and
soups. Crosse & Blackwell followed in 1950, as did Findus (1963), Libby's (1971) and Stouffer's
(1973). Diversification came with a shareholding in L'Oréal in 1974. In 1977, Nestlé made its
second venture outside the food industry by acquiring Alcon Laboratories Inc. In 1984, Nestlé's
improved bottom line allowed the company to launch a new round of acquisitions, notably
American food giant Carnation and the British confectionary company Rowntree Macintosh in
1988. The first half of the 1990s proved to be favorable for Nestlé: trade barriers crumbled and
world markets developed into more or less integrated trading areas. Since 1996 there have been
acquisitions including San Pellegrino (1997), Spillers Petfoods (1998) and Ralston Purina
(2002). There were two major acquisitions in North America, both in 2002: in June, Nestlé
merged its U.S. ice cream business into Dreyer's [1], and in August a $2.6 billion acquisition was
announced of Chef America, Inc. In the same time frame, Nestlé came close to purchasing the
iconic American company Hershey's, though the deal fell through. Another recent purchase
include the Jenny Craig fitness firm for $600 million. In December 2005 Nestlé bought the
Greek company Delta Ice Cream for €240 million. In January 2006 it took full ownership of
Dreyer's, thus becoming the world's biggest ice cream maker with a 17.5% market share.
NESTLE MILKPAK
VISION STATEMENT OF NESTLE MILKPAK
The strategic priorities of Nestle Milkpak are focused on delivering shareholder value
through the achievement of sustainable, capital efficient and profitable long term growth.

envisions the company to develop an extremely motivated and professionally trained work force,
which would drive growth through innovation and renovation. It aspires, as a respected corporate
citizen, to continue playing a significant role in the social and environmental sectors of the
country.
SUMMARY OF OPERATIONS
PRODUCTION
The joint venture between Milkpak Ltd. And Nestle S.A. came about in 1988 and the
company was renamed as Nestle Milkpak Ltd. Prior to that, Milkpak Ltd., produced UHT milk,
butter, cream, desi ghee and fruit drinks at Sheikhupura factory. 21 branded product lines were
added during 1990 to 1998. Nestle Milkpak operates the largest and an extremely efficient milk
collection system in the country, which enables it to collect the highest quality milk for
production of UHT and powder milks as well as other milk based products. The company
voluntarily provides extension services of farmers in the area of animal husbandry and livestock
breed improvement.
EXPORTS
Nestle Milkpak entered the export market in 1993 with exports of Rs.3.2 million to
Afghanistan. Growing steadily over the years, its exports stood at Rs.321 million by June, 1998.
Currently, it's overseas markets include the UAE, UK, USA, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Bangladesh,
Afghanistan and Central Asian States.
CONTRIBUTION TO OTHER SECTORS
In the social sector, the company provides over 1,100 job opportunities for skilled,
unskilled and professional manpower. It plays a remarkable role in vitalizing the rural economy
by disbursing over Rs.1.37 billion annually against milk purchases, benefiting over five million
household members of the dairy farmers.
THE ENVIRONMENT
Final Project of Dairy Queen 35
In line with its universal commitment, Nestle Milkpak fully complies with its responsibilities
forwards the protection of the environment. By making available the processed and packaged
dairy products to urban consumers, it helps in arresting urban environmental degradation caused
by the influx of cattle into towns. Within it's own production facilities, the company takes pains
to operate an elaborate water treatment system to cleanse its industrial wastewater before
releasing it for irrigation.

and feeding products, including direct contact with mothers, incentives to doctors and free
product samples and supplies. However, the report reveals that Nestle is guilty of Code
violations in Pakistan. An internal document included in the report establishes a direct link
between its sales and financial benefits and sponsorships to doctors.
''The document shows irrefutably that Nestle agreed to pay for half the price of an air
conditioner to a doctor, considering his influence in the district - provided sales of Nan and
AL110 go up,'' said Wagner, adding, ''We possess this document in original, spelling out the deal
in no uncertain terms.'' The report also includes specific evidence about Nestle's direct contact
with mothers in the waiting rooms of doctors, in hospital wards and by organizing baby shows. It
says the company provides free samples and supplies of products covered by the international
code.
The Swiss TNC denies the allegations and accused its former employee Syed Aamar
Raza, who supplied the documents to The Network, of blackmail and gaining employment by
presenting a false diploma. Nestle claims to possess audio recordings of Raza's blackmail
attempt, allegedly attempted in February 1998, which he denies: ''I never tried to blackmail
Nestle. If they have evidence against me, they should take the case to the appropriate forum and
press charges against me,'' Raza said over the phone from Germany, where he is closely working
with European IBFAN groups to highlight ''Nestle's unethical practices in Pakistan''. ''The
evidence in the report speaks for itself - this company is violating the international code as a
matter of routine,'' said Wagner.
The report has reopened debate on the need for strict curbs on the marketing of
breastmilk substitutes in Pakistan which registers one of the highest infant mortality rates in the
world. According to the ''State of the World's Children Report 2000'' recently released by the UN
children's agency, Unicef, nearly 10 percent of babies born in this country die in the first year.
''Bottle-feeding contributes significantly to diarrhoea and respiratory infections, two leading
causes of infant death in Pakistan,'' said Dr Asad Hafeez, a pediatrician in Islamabad. The office
of the Chief Executive, Pakistan's military ruler Gen Pervez Musharraf, has instructed the
Ministry of Health in a letter to take appropriate steps on the issue, and report back to the Chief
Executive's Secretariat. The letter signed by Brig Tariq Hamid Khan says, ''The report is
forwarded to Health Division for necessary action as may be appropriate under the policy in
vogue, under intimation to this Secretariat as well as the petitioners (The Network).''
Final Project of Dairy Queen 37
Health Ministry officials said they had submitted a draft which took seven years to
finalize, of a proposed law - the Protection of Breastfeeding and Young Child Nutrition Act - to
the Nawaz Sharif Cabinet last year. The draft law has incorporated provisions from the marketing
code adopted by South Asia's regional grouping Saarc, at a ministerial meet for children in
Pakistan in 1996, which is stricter in the light of the high rates of malnutrition and poverty
among children in the region. ''We'll soon forward the draft to the cabinet for its approval as an
ordinance,'' said an official of the health ministry. An earlier report, ''Feeding Fiasco'', published
by The Network in 1998 accused all baby food manufacturers in Pakistan of violating the code.
Among the 160 or so brands sold here, are the US Mead Johnson and Abbot, and Japanese
Morinaga. According to Wagner, ''Nestle is just one of many baby food companies playing with
the lives of Pakistani babies. Without laws, we have no legal recourse and can only try to shame
them into more responsible corporate conduct.''
Nestlé Pakistan runs a milk programme for undernourished young children and mothers
through several NGO partners. This assistance goes to the destitute, poor and disabled at day care
centres, schools, hospitals, shelters and jails where children are incarcerated with their mothers.
Nestlé Pakistan has been involved for over 15 years in supporting dairy development in the
Punjab province, where it collects milk for processing. Its efforts have been focused on increased
milk production and livestock development – something that directly and positively impacts the
lives of the small farmers with low income. This is a great success story. This has brought
prosperity to farmers through an assured and growing income resulting from increased sale of
their milk. These efforts of the Company have been widely acclaimed by the farmers and the
government alike.
Towards this end, the Milk Collection Department operates an Agri-Service unit, staffing
it with qualified people, who provide a wide range of services in the areas of breed improvement,
animal health, better feeding and good animal husbandry practices. The Company also helps
farmers to avail of micro credit from banks for the purchase of dairy equipment and animals.
FOCUS
Creating value for society while creating value for our shareholders…. this is Nestlé's
approach to the community and, on a wider view, to the attainment of the U.N. Millennium
Development Goals. We regard these Goals as highly important objectives for improving the
state of the world. The Millennium Development Goals are, among other things, a bold attempt
Final Project of Dairy Queen 38
to prioritise what is needed to address the most pressing needs of people in developing countries
in particular. They focus on poverty reduction, education, health for women, children and the
reduction of pandemics like HIV/AIDS and malaria. They address environmental sustainability;
and they stress the importance of partnership in order to achieve results.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE FOR THE YEAR ENDING 2002:
Although the economy showed marginal improvement, the business environment
remained generally stagnant during 2002. Despite this, the company has performed very well
during the period under review, which can be assessed from the following information:
For the fifth consecutive year, the company registered an impressive double digit Real
Internal Growth of 14.1%. Major product categories viz: liquid and non liquid milks, chilled
dairy and water, showed strong growth. Exports rose to Rs. 383 million representing a 39.3%
value growth. Export to Afghanistan, which represents 60% of Nestle’s total exports, doubled
from Rs. 102 million in 2001 to Rs. 231 million in 2002. Total sales for the year reached Rs. 9.2
billion, showing a value growth of 14.5% over last year. Net profit for this year stood at 651
million, an increase of 57.2%, which translates into a net profit margin of 7.1 % as against 5.1%
in 2001. Improved profit margin became possible through various initiatives. While sustained
volume growth and cost saving initiatives in the areas of production and purchasing were mainly
instrumental in achieving this, proper controls of fixed general overheads, lower financial cost
due to lower interest rates and tight control of working capital also significantly contributed in
improving the net profit.

well under control while achieving sales value growth of 36.1% and real internal growth reached
31.1%.

CUSTOMER ANALYSIS

Taste
CVA
Middle class customer is more interested is price then taste. Because UHT milk is bit
costly than lose milk. UHT milk price is 34 and lose milk is available at 20 to 30 rupee per litter.
Pure milk is a problem for the customer and customer wants to get or purchase pure milk with
quality because now customer is more conscious about health that’s way he wants to purchase a
quality product. Although taste of the product is an issue, but against high price it’s not a issue
for the customer.
Final Project of Dairy Queen 45
Dairy Queen is a product which is providing value to the customer “Best Milk at Low
Price”. Quality and taste is providing in dairy queen at low price for the middle class household
families.
Prices are going up day by day due to high price demand from the suppliers and
companies have to increase their prices of UHT milk. Heleeb and Nestle made a promise that
they will increase their prices of milk together. When you position your product on the bases of
requirements of the customer it will be always in the mind of the customer and our positioning is
“low price milk”.
There are many brand of UHT milk in the market and they have their own segments or
target market. But Dairy Queen finds out a new segment and target market for the penetration
and position the product. Our segment is middle class household and low income level families,
whom are not afford high price milk.

After completion of the project, Dairy Industry is very attractive and there is a big room
for improvement and for the new products. Growth rate is very high and many companies are
coming and many new products are also coming in the market. Competition level is very high
and customer and suppliers powers are increasing. Media can play important role in the game
and who will use it he will be the top position. Haleeb is competing with Nestle. Nestle is multi
national company and it has many resources and they are using these resources. But, prices are
very high and it will increase continuously that way new entry will be may stop. Now, Nestle
shift his focus on the powder milk and water also. Our weaknesses will be remove and we will
get more out off total number of share from the market. Dairy Queen’s strategy is good but there
is a gap in the implementation of the strategy. Now, Dairy Queen is becoming nation wide
product and it’s move is towards Nestle. Multan, Fisal Abad, Sahiwal and Rawalpinde are the
cities where Dairy Queen’s share is high. Penetration and awareness of the Dairy Queen is very
important variables of its strategy. Customer wants low price and quality product these are two
main requirements which is being fulfilled by the Dairy Queen. Advertising is very important in
the life of a product and our new strategy is based on the advertising. TOM is very important
factor from the customer side when ever he will purchase UHT milk our product name will be in
his mind and he will purchase our product. Dairy Queen’s USP is low price milk and we will
cash this USP.
