1: INTRODUCTION
For the purpose of creating marketing plan we take a situation in which Cadbury
Schweppes is first time entering into the Pakistan farm milk market. Our
detailed study shows how will the company gains competitive advantage
and/or adds value using its core competencies to align towards the KeyFactors for Success (KFS) in our selected industry sector and identify any
major problems that we see as being significant. After understanding the
current companys position and industry scenario we have recommended
what we seems to be the most appropriate future strategic direction for the
firm to begin to take, in order to meet the challenges of the forthcoming
project.

2: EXECUTIVE SUMMERY
This Marketing report has been compiled to solidify the basic marketing concept andgive an outline of how to launch a new product in Pakistani market. Marketing
research is based on measuring consumer behavioural variables and their different
view point regarding our target market. This research tries to answer what strategies
should be taken to introduce CADBURY FARM MILK In highly competitive
market of Pakistani dairy milk.
After analyzing current market situation we reveals number of position and
promotional strategies that will be helpful in successful launch of Cadbury farm milk
into the market.
His dairy industry has tended historically to be one of the worlds most highly
regulated food sectors. It is being deregulated throughout the world, but it is likely
that extensive national regulations will remain important factors in most nations,
outside of Australia and New Zealand. Nevertheless, international mergers and
acquisitions will occur at an increasing rate, and with technological change, theindustry will likely be transformed within the next two decades.
These processes, however, are not inevitable. Stakeholders in these industries,
including unions, farmers, and governments, can play crucial roles in determining the
Pace and shape of restructuring, although economic and technological change has a
certain air of inevitability about it, the precise natures of those changes are not
inevitable. The decision of the Australian Government in 2000 to soften the pain of
dairy deregulation through a AUD 1.8 billion restructuring package shows that
governments at least can still intervene in industrial change. Key issues identified by

In Europe, globalization in the food industry has been accompanied by an
intensified push to codify and protect geographical distinctiveness in the labelling of
regional produce. Moreover, as the current debate over the WTO suggests, the
future direction of multilateral trade negotiations is unclear. Hence, while there

seems little doubt that in the next two decades the global dairy industry will be
transformed, the shape of that transformation, and the roles of stakeholders such as
unions and farmers within those transformations, is yet to be determined.

We came across the fact that besides current economic crisis Pakistani dairy sector
have great potential of growth. Pakistan is the fifth largest milk producing country in
the world and government is promoting foreign investment in this sector. Therefore
chances of success are bright in this economic sector. We have formed the
strategies by carefully examining different marketing theories.

convenience to supportive customers and consumer. Their objective is to bring
100% Cadbury pure milk, which will be available to nearest market. Success is
determined on understanding the needs of todays consumer.
3.1: ISSUE:

CADBURYFARM MILK
For that we have analyzed the opportunity rational and industry structure of Pakistan
and in the light of our findings we have recommended which kind of strategies
should be helpful for Cadbury to be successful in this industry
3.2: INTRODUCTION OF DARIY SECTOR:
Dairy sector can be counted among one of the fasted growing sectors in Pakistan
with currently about 17 units engaged in the production of various dairy products.
Currently Pakistan stood at 5th position in milk producing countries. This industry has
strong potential for future growth. Al though, currently nearly all the dairy units are
working below their capacities. They are aggressively marketing to create a sizeable
niche in the market. Milk, by and large, is the main ingredient of almost all dairy
products. Besides milk, milk powder and butter are also used in different dairy
products. Milk, as per requirement, is received from contractors and self-collection
canters.(Source: Report of the 'Food Price Structure Study - Pakistan,
commissioned by Consumers International Asia Pacific Office, 2008)
Processed liquid milk in the form of pasteurized milk or ultra heat treated (UHT) milk
is the main dairy product in Pakistan, while other products include dry powdered
milk, cream, butter, butter oil, yoghurt, cheese and ice cream, etc. Dairy products
generally do not require use of chemicals in their production. However, caustic soda,
7
8/8/2019 St.marketing Plan Shayan[1]
8/31
nitric acid, hydrogen peroxide, and sodium chloride are mostly used in dairy
industries for cleaning and disinfecting of utensils and equipment
The manufacturing process of ultra heat treated (UHT) milk involves pasteurization,
homogenization, ultra heat treatment, and packing. The main utilities in dairies
include water, electricity, natural gas, fuel oils and steam.

6: INTERNAL REVIEW:
6.1: SWOT ANALYSIS:
The next component of strategic thinking requires the generation of a series of
strategic alternatives, or choices of future strategies to pursue, given the companys
internal strengths and weaknesses and its external opportunities and threats and
these are normally referred to as a SWOT analysis. (Strategic management theory:
an integrated approach, Charles W.L. Hill, Gareth R. Jones P2008 p19)

6.1.1: STRENGHTS:
Dairy industry:
Pakistani dairy industry is one of the largest and fastest growing industries of
world.
Pure and hygienic milk:
We provide pure and hygienic milk. It is well boiled before being available in
markets. It is processed through our laboratory to purify it from any remaining
bacteria.
Quality assurance:
We make sure that we maintain our quality for our customers. Milk is passed
through our specialized quality assurance department where it is checked
thoroughly and a Quality assurance certificate is issued for satisfaction.
Affordable price:
Our prices are low and affordable, targeting all the classes.
Convenience:
Our product is available at our 6 sales points for our customers convenience.
In addition to that we also provide milk at door steps.
By product of dairy is used in agricultural.
3.1.2: WEAKNESSES:
Production of milk falls to 55% of peak production at its lowest point in mid-
June.
Competition:
With so many existing competitors and new comers entering the market,
competition is becoming tougher day by day.
Uncertainty:
There is a chance that due to present established brands we might take some
time to make our mark. We would have to deal with a lot of marketing of our
milk in order to make our customers aware of the additional benefits we are
providing in our product.
10
8/8/2019 St.marketing Plan Shayan[1]
11/31
Logistic of procurement:
Woes of bad roads and inadequate transportation facility make milk
procurement problematic (difficult). But with the overall economic
improvement in Pakistan, these problems would also get solved.
Increased demand:
Demand increases 60% during June compared to December when the milk
supply is ample.
3.1.3: OPPORTUNITIES:
If opportunity doesnt knock, builds a door.Milton Berle bears out this statement
perfectly. We have to find the right market share to penetrate in and then look for
opportunities.
Demand for low price.
People in Pakistan demand low prices in order to overcome the economic
crises in the country. People are earning less and paying more which makes
them economically weak and it affects their life style too. So we on the other
hand, provide them healthy milk at comparatively low price.
Healthy milk.
Our top most priority is our customers health. Our milk is boiled and passed
through a quality test which ensures its quality, taste and purity. We do not
use any chemicals or artificial means to purify the milk which gives us the
edge on the existing brands.
Capturing the market between carton milk and local milkmen.
Our focus is to provide healthy and pure milk. Free of chemicals and artificial
additions as well as watered milk. So we position ourselves in between the
carton milk producers and the local milkmen.
Scope for innovation.
There is a phenomenal scope for innovation in product development,
packaging and presentation.

3.1.4: THREATS:
Milk vendors, an un-organized sector.
Today milk vendors are occupying the pride of place in the market. Organized
dissemination of information about the harm that they are doing to producers
and consumers should see a decline in their importance.
Shortage of animals.
The shortage of milk providing animals is a major threat to the entire milk
industry. It may be due to diseases or our carelessness.
7: EXTERNAL REVIEW:
7.1: PEST ANALYSIS:
PEST analysis can be used to help detect trends in the external environment that
will ultimately find their way into the competitive environment. (Understanding
strategic management, Anthony Henry p2008 p51) PEST analysis is helpful in
understanding the macro environment of the country. It can help in identifying the
prevailing opportunities and diagnose the existing threats in the environment. It is
comprised of the evaluation following four factors

7.1.1: POLITICS:
Current investment policies have been tailor made to suit investor needs. Pakistan's
policy trends have been consistent, with liberalization, de-regulation, privatisation,
and facilitation being its foremost cornerstones
Source: (http://www.pakboi.gov.pk/5keyreasons.htm)
Pakistans political conditions are favourable now-a-days because our government
has very effective policies both for economic and political wellbeing of the country.
Government is taking several favourable steps to attract and facilitates foreign direct
investment.
Foreign investors are allowed to hold 100% equity of industrial projects without
permission of the Government. No Government sanction is required for setting up
any industry, in terms of field of activity, location, and size
Source :(http://www.tahseenbutt.com/investment_in_pakistan.html)
7.1.2: ECNOMICAL FACTORS:
According to economic watch 2009, Pakistan economic condition are not so good,
rupees value is sharply decreasing against dollar reported fiscal deficit was 7.4 in
2008. Although its currently going through the worst phase of economic instability
but still it is known as one of the fastest growing developing countries but poor
indeed. In July 2009 the situation gets a little stable and huge loan have been taken
from central bank. Pakistan Government aims at reducing the poverty and enhancing
infrastructure to support foreign investors as it will generate more employmentopportunity for people and helps in bringing prosperity source: (Online journal
Economic Watch http://www.economywatch.com/economc-conditions/pakistan.html)
Prevailing recession all across the world has affected Pakistani economy badly but
government is taking different initiative to control the situation. There developments
on international economic scene created uncertainties. The world economic position
remains submissive and global trade is expected to stay slow during the ongoing
fiscal year.

7.1.3: SOCIAL:
In Pakistan, awareness regarding importance of packed milk is gradually increasing
among the people .people are getting more health conscious and preferred high
quality food and beverages as far as they can afford it. All these factors are
supporting to packed milk industry.
Therefore there are some groups which can influence the decisions of others; these
include reference group, primary group and inspirational groups.
7.1.4: TECHNOLOGICAL FACTORS:
Pakistan is growing country and progressing fast. As far as technological factors are
concerned, companies are equipped with high tech and updated machinery and
plant for the processing of milk. Two type of milk processing is UHT and pasteurized
milk. As Cadbury has been involved in the processing of milk for its dairy
confectionary therefore it will help the country like Pakistan for the transfer of
technology and foreign direct investment. Also the import policies are favourable for
of high tech machinery hence the trends concerning the technology are favourable to
Cadbury.

8: THE STRATEGIC PLANNING PROCESS:
The strategic planning involves the following steps which are first undertaken and
analyzed before any planning. These steps are
Segmentation
Targeting
Positioning
Basis for segmentation
The basis for the Segmentation
Geographic
Demographic
Psychographic
Behaviour
(Developing marketing strategies, Principles of marketing Kotler Amstrong, p2005
p118)
8.1: SEGMENATION:
A marketing orientation is based on a customer-driver focus. During the past two
decades we have seen the rise of market segmentation in business markets.
Introduced into the marketing community by the late Wendell Smith in 1956, a half a
century later, segmentation has evolved from an academic concept into a viable
real-world planning strategy (Market Segmentation Art Weinstein PhD, p2004 p4)
8.1.1: BASIS FOR SEGMENTATION:
8.1.2: GEOGRAPHIC SEGMENATION:
The total population of the Pakistan is 172,800,000 (As on July 2008 federal bureau
of statistics) with a growth rate of 2.69%. In the total of this the urban population is
32.52% and the remaining portion 67.48% lives in the rural areas. If we take the
products like packed milk then the large portion of the packed milk is used in the
15
8/8/2019 St.marketing Plan Shayan[1]
16/31
urban areas. So with respect to the packed milk industry we can make two segments
geographically.
Urban Population
Sub urban population.
Source :(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Pakistan#Geographic_distribution)
The use of the packed milk is mostly in urban and sub urban areas and a very small
percentage is used in the rural area. So in order to get the maximum profit and to
operate successfully urban and sub urban area is the best for this purpose.
Geographic segmentation is separating the market into some different geographical
units. In the packed milk industry, the geographic market segmentation is
PUNJAB BALUCHISTAN
(Urban, Suburban) (Urban, Suburban)
SINDH
(Urban, Suburban)
NWFP
(Urban, Suburban)
8.1.3: DEMOGRAPHIC:
We can use different techniques in order to divide the urban population into different
segments. We have chosen Social economic classes for this purpose. In Pakistan
we have:
A Class:
This is the well-educated employed class where chief earners are predominantlypost-graduates working as lower/middle executives or officers in government/semi-
government institutions. Housewives are reasonably well-educated and significant
percentage of them has bank accounts. Penetration of durables and packaged items
is high.
B class:
It include shopkeepers lower/middle officer, supervisor. The housewife of B class
takes packed milk a prestige item. So our more targets belong to this class.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Pakistan#Geographic_distributionhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Pakistan#Geographic_distribution8/8/2019 St.marketing Plan Shayan[1]
17/31
Penetration of packed milk in this class is more than Farmer milk. Substantial
penetration durables such air-conditioners, deep freezers, cooking ranges and
medium size television set.
C Class:
People in c class normally are shopkeepers. Their education varies from primary to
post-graduate/professional level. In this class housewives are illiterate 3 out of 10.
Penetration of expensive durables is low. However, penetration of packaged items
and durables such as sewing and washing machines is substantial.
D Class:
This is lower middle class. The chief earners are skilled workers, shop keeping or
non-executives employees with some school or college education (intermediate).
Consumption of packaged edibles and FMCGs is moderate. The total population is
9.18 million Source: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_Pakistan)
8.1.4: PSYCHOGRAPHICS:
This looks at the way of life model of public and tries to identify how people spend
their time and money. It is not worth that two families with same income, same social
status, in same locations may have extremely lifestyle with observe to holidays for
example.
8.1.5: BEHAVIORS:
Behaviors is important factor in segmentation as Brand loyalty and value of quality

8.2: TARGETING (evaluation)
8.3: PORTER 5 FORCES:
Size:
The size of the market, we are going to target is reasonable and suitable. It has a lot
of potential for new entrants as people are becoming more knowledgeable and
health conscious.
Growth:
In respect of industry growth, the targeting of this segment is also reasonable and
suitable. The industry has a huge potential and has a high growth rate if a newentrant is coming with different strategy. So, it is quite logical and reasonable to
target the segment.
Rivalry:
The industry has four major players that are our competitors. Although only two of
them are falling in the same category i.e. pasteurized milk. These players are Amul
and FARM MILK. If we see the size of the market, potential and low growth, thecompetition in the market and existing players are not very large. The targeting of the
segment is logical and reasonable.
Entry Barriers:
Entry barriers are not very high as we have somewhat balanced conditions. We also
have the technical knowledge and experience in the field. The only problem and
hurdle is the high cost of acquiring the latest technology. So, over all the situation is
in our favour.
Exit Barriers:
The main exit barriers always are govt. restriction and other legal obligation, the
lowest salvage value of equipment and structure, and emotional barriers. In all these
only low salvage value of equipment and structure is a major hurdle and emotionalbarriers can also cause.

Bargaining power of buyers:
Due to high growth and huge market potential the bargaining power of buyers is not
strong and influential. Large number of buyers makes this industry more attractive,reasonable and favourable to enter.
Substitute Availability:
In respect of substitute availability the market is not so much attractive and
profitable. There are substitutes available in the market for our products, it can take
two forms:
19
8/8/2019 St.marketing Plan Shayan[1]
20/31
The competitors products e.g. HALLA, NESTLE MILK PAK, HALEEB, FARM
and NURPUR etc.
The new technology e.g. Ultra heat treated (UHT)
8.4: POSITIONING:
The packed milk industry is attractive and profitable. Besides this it is consistent with
our corporate direction and objectives. There is no conflict and confusion with our
corporate mission. We also have technical knowhow and experience in the field as
well as we have synergy with our marketing, R&D, and other departments. We have
no major problems in serving the segment and have required strengths to serve the
segment. All this shows that the segment and industry is quite reasonable and
suitable to enter because it also has a logical flow with our corporate direction and
objectives.
8.5: POSSIBLE COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES:
The key to winning and keeping customers is to understand their needs and buying
processes better than competitors do and to deliver more value. Positioning begin
with actually differentiating the company market offer so that it will give consumers
moir value than competitors offers do. A company or market offer can be
differentiated along the lines of product, services, channels, people or image.
(Strategic Marketing Planning, Colin Gilligan and Richard M.S. Wilson first edition
P2003 second ed.2009 p390)
The Cadbury has been serving many countries by providing its dairy and beverage
product due to sound financial and social position of the company; it is one the mostadmired company in UK. Cadbury will enjoy the following competitive advantages in
the market.
1. Image
2. Financial health
3. Socially responsible firm
4. Vast experience in dairy industry
20
8/8/2019 St.marketing Plan Shayan[1]

5. Vast experience of research and development
6. Strong logistics and efficient sales force management.
9: MARKETING MIX OF CADBURY FARM MILK:9.1: TOTAL MARKET SHARE OF PROCESSED MILK:
Type of Milk Market Share in Volume Sale price Rs/Liter
Open Farm Milk 90% 30-40UHT Tetra Pack 4.98% 45Open Pasteurized Milk 3.76% 35Open milk sold at milk
shops
0.98% 30
Pasteurized Pouch 024% 45UHT Poly pack 0.02% 22Direct to Home 0.02% 35-40Source: http://www.fao.org/ag/AGP/AGPC/doc/pasture/dost/fodderdost.htm
As we identified our main competitor that is Farmer who is serving the 90% of the market
as shown in the table above. The penetration of Farmer milk is so in depth that it has
become part of the norms of Pakistani society. In order to, challenge its strengths we have
identified its weakness in its strengths that is inefficient home delivery and different rate
brackets for different customers.
The indirect competitors are HALEEB, NESTLE MILK PAK, HALLA, NURPUR, and FARM
MILK. The market penetration of these competitors is very low as shown in the above
table. Recently all companies have changed their previous policies and they are
aggressively doing promotion and using competitive prices to capture the part of each
other. In case of HALEEB their main strength is huge customer base and they also claim
thickness in their product. But recently they are doing promotion and reducing pricing to
milk their brand. By decreasing their price they increase their share and customer base. If
we see the second major player NESTLE their main strength and positioning is based on
value added services.
Recently all companies are trying their best to reduce the packaging cost of the product
as all the companies are relying on sole company Tetra Pak for its packaging, for example
HALEEB has introduce various types of packaging for its products like fino packaging i.e.,
Dairy Queen and plastic bottle packaging i.e., Candia and have also introduced various
sizes of tetra packaging for the convenience of the consumers.

9.2: POSITIONING OF CADBURY FARM MILK
After analyzing the whole situation of the markets major players, their recent trends and
strategies we have decided to position our product, also according the needs and
requirement of target customers.
According to the survey results main emphasis of customers is on the following items.
Price
Home delivery
Thickness
So, according to the requirement and demand we are emphasizing on these three most
important attributes. So, we can say that we are using Triple Benefit Positioning. Wewill provide our customers with efficient delivery of milk at lowest possible price.
