the sample.
Sampling:
Further, the design that has been adopted for the study of the given topic is
CONVENIENT SAMPLING.
EXPLANATION: During the course of the study we visited a no. of stores
that were scattered all over Jaipur (source list mentioned below). Apart from
this we had no written record of the number and names of the stores in the city.
It was very difficult to tabulate a record of all the retailers and wholesalers
present in the city and then carry out our study, in the short span of time that
was allotted. As a result we had to select the retailers according to our
convenience. We went to the areas and surveyed all shops that could possibly
be approached.

Limitations of the Study
1) The study was conducted in 45 days that is not enough for such a vast
topic.
2) It was difficult for the storekeepers to pinpoint the sales of a particular
brand in both organized and unorganized retail stores.
3) No proper data was available about the stores in the city.
4) There were not a big number of organized retail stores in Jaipur to carry
out the research more efficiently.
5) As the nature of research was exploratory so it was difficult to cover
each and every retailer.
6) Many retailers dont express their original perception and views becauseof biasness.

INTRODUCTION
SECTOR
Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG), are products that are sold quickly at
relatively low cost, have a quick turnover and get replaced within a year.
Though the absolute profit made on FMCG products is relatively small, they
generally sell in large quantities, so the cumulative profit on such products can
be large. Examples of FMCG generally include a wide range of frequently
purchased consumer products such as toiletries, soap, cosmetics, teeth cleaning
products, shaving products and detergent, as well as non durables such as
glassware, light bulbs, batteries, paper products and plastic goods. FMCG also
includes pharmaceuticals, consumer electronics, packaged food products and
drinks, although these are often categorized separately. Some of the best known
examples of Fast Moving Consumer Goods companies include Clorox,
Colgate-Palmolive, General Mills, H.J. Heinz, Reckitt Benckiser, Sara Lee,
Nestle, Unilever, Proctor and Gamble, Coca Cola, Carlsberg, Kimberly-Clark,
Kraft, Pepsi, Warburtons, Wilkinson and Mars.Scope of the sector : The Rs 86,000-crore Indian FMCG sector is expected to
maintain its double-digit growth for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Being a
sector led by domestic growth, it is least likely to be affected by the financial
meltdown. The FMCG industry is set to grow 20-30 per cent in 2009-10, up
from 10-20 per cent in 2008-09. The growth would be driven by the launch of
new products and increasing rural consumption. A well established
distribution network, intense competition between the organized and
unorganized segments characterizes the sector.
The introduction of goods and services tax (GST) in Union Budget 2009 by
April 1, 2010, may help FMCG companies save on distribution costs, remove
multiple taxes and bring down prices in the long run.
Though the hike in minimum alternate tax from 10% to 15% would adversely
hit companies with factories in excise-free zones, they rule out increasingconsumer prices.

Retail sector: Retail became a buzz word in India before recession; in fact the
word 'booming' was found only attached to this sector. But as recession took
its toll, 99% of sectors went for a toss including retail. The market has just
started picking up and India is reclaiming to regain its position in the retail
segment.
In a recent report, the authors of AT Kearney's 2009 global retail development
index said that India's largely unmodernised retail sector remained attractive to
both domestic and international retailers, in spite of government regulations
that prevent 100 per cent foreign ownership of retail stores.For most of the retailers like Pantaloon, Vishal, Cantabil and Priknit, retail still
continues to buzz everywhere in India with many foreign brands coming in,
whether it's the largest US retailer Wal Mart which opened its first store, last
month, in Punjab, in a joint-venture with Bharti Enterprises, Or Tesco and
Carrefour which are also planning joint venture stores.
Even as corporates are expecting the new Congress-led United Progressive
Alliance Government at the Centre to open up fully FDI in retail sector, a
Parliamentary Committee has argued for a total ban on even the domestic
heavyweight corporates from entering retail trade in grocery, fruits and
vegetables.
Also, there is expectation the forthcoming Union Budget may spell out a policy position. Retail giant Ikea holding back its plans to enter India is being bandied
about as a setback for the country. There is also talk that investments and flow
of technical knowhow could be hampered if the sector is not opened up to
overseas.investors.
But over all if we see, the issue to be debated shouldn't be whether FDI in
organized retail is desirable, but what its impact would be on small retailers in

the unorganized sector, and whether we have policies to protect the vulnerable
sections.
It was meant to revolutionize the way we shopped, spent, consumed and lived.
With its Retail Revolution, India was making an indelible mark on the global
retail map. The billion plus consumers and steady economic development were
fuelling the growth of Indias $ 25 billion organized retail market. And the
Indian blue chip companies started to go the retailing way Bharti, Reliance,
Tata, Mahindra, Aditya Birla Group and RPG all were making the retail
foray. As the sector grew at the rate of 30-40% per annum over the last decade,
India became the preferred destination for global brands and retail chains tocash in. But with the Q3 growth for FY2008-09 at 10-12% as against 35% of
the previous year accompanied with closures of Indian retailers, pulling out
from certain cities and the Subhiksha saga unfolding, the dismal story of
revolution is now unraveling.

INDUSTRY
Indian Biscuit Industry: According to Indian Biscuit Manufacturers'
Association (IBMA), after stagnating growth of about 14 per cent in 2006-07,
biscuit industry grew by 17 per cent in 2007-08 due to excise duty exemption
on biscuits with MRP up to Rs 100 per kg, Indian Biscuit Manufacturers
Association. ). Therefore, Indian biscuit industry has demanded a reduction in
value added tax to four per cent from the current level of 12.4 per cent on
biscuit, so that the growth rate can go up to 20 per cent.
The Rs 8,000-crore industry hopes that the biscuit segment will have over 20
per cent annual growth in the next five years if VAT is reduced to four per cent
India, world's third largest biscuit producer after the US and China, produces
nearly 19.5 lakh tonnes annually and the states, however, have imposed the
VAT at 12.5 per cent, which is very high.
According to IBMA, organised sector produces around 55% and the balance
45% being contributed by the unorganised bakeries. In terms of volume biscuit
production by the organised segment in 2006-07 is estimated at 1.47 million
tonnes. Per capita consumption of biscuits in the country is only 1.8 kg, as
compared to 2.5-5.5 kg in the South Eastern countries, and in Europe and US,
respectively.
In India per capita consumption of biscuits is estimated at a low 1.9 kg,
reflecting the huge potential for growth of the industry. Over 900 million
Indians buy and eat biscuits with varying frequency in any year.
The penetration of branded product in this segment is quite significant, and is
valued at Rs 2,500-3,000 crore. None of the other wheat-based segments is as
developed as the biscuits industry. The biscuit segment has developed with
large markets of mass consumption covering over 90% of the overall potential
market. The unorganised sector accounts for over 50% of the market. The
market has been growing at a CAGR of 6-7% pa.

Biscuit is a hygienically packaged nutritious snack food available at very
competitive prices, volumes and different tastes. According to the NCAER
Study, biscuit is predominantly consumed by people from the lower strata of
society, particularly children in both rural and urban areas with an averagemonthly income of Rs 750.
Bread and biscuits are the major part of the bakery industry. Biscuits stands at a
higher value and production level than bread.
India Biscuits Industry came into limelight and started gaining a sound status in
the bakery industry in the later part of 20th century when the urbanized societycalled for readymade food products at a tenable cost. Biscuits were assumed as
sick-man's diet in earlier days. Now, it has become one of the most loved fast
food product for every age group. Biscuits are easy to carry, tasty to eat,
cholesterol free and reasonable at cost. States that have the larger intake of
biscuits are Maharashtra, West Bengal, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, and Uttar
Pradesh. Maharashtra and West Bengal, the most industrially developed states,
hold the maximum amount of consumption of biscuits. Even, the rural sector
consumes around 55 percent of the biscuits in the bakery products.
The annual production of biscuit in the organized sector continues to be
predominantly in the small and medium scale sector before and after de-
reservation.
Confectionary Industry
Production area
Besides the industrial areas in leading metropolis the bakery product &
confectionery are carried on small- scale basis also at household level.
Whereas, the confectionery industry has developed remarkably with the
international brand mingling with the domestic market toffees, chocolates
etc. produced at large scale in important industrial regions of the country.

Growth promotional activities
In 1977- 78 Government reserved the confectionery bread and biscuit
manufacturing for small scale and restricted entry of large producers.
During the last 2 decades, small and unorganized players shared the growthin the industry. Currently, there are an estimated 2 million bakeries across
the country engaged in production of bread, biscuits and other products The
Indian confectionery market is segmented into sugar-boiled confectionery,
chocolates, mints and chewing gums. Sugar-boiled confectionery,
consisting of hard boiled candy, toffees and other sugar-based candies, is
the largest of the segments and valued at around Rs 2,000 crore.
The confectionery industry has a current capacity of 85, 000 tonnes, the
market is growing at the rate of 10-15% per annum. The estimated annual
production of bakery products in India is in excess of 3 million tonnes, of
which bread accounts for nearly 50% and biscuits 37% in volume terms in
the organized sector. The bakery sector in India is one of largest segments
of the food processing industries; annual turnover in value terms is
approximately $ 900 million.
Types
Chocolates, hard-boiled sweets, chewing gum and other products are a
major growth area. The bakery industry includes basic baked products like
breads, biscuits, cakes, pastries, rusks, buns, rolls etc.
The Confectionery Industry in India was a closely held business potential for
several decades in the past predominantly driven by cost factors and limited
market and consumer perceptions. Confectionery product being an impulse
generated demand exercise was more dependent on trade push and intermittent
consumer pull thereby resulting in very narrow spectrum of brand activity. The
retail and market penetrations even today continue to be in the rural and semi
urban and urban markets where bulk of the sales activity takes place through B
and C class outlets. Confectionery being a child-oriented product, it is largely

sold by individual counts at the retail trade level. The potential child consumer
for this category of products in the past was largely influenced by the relevant
socio-economic factors and media explosions.

RECOMMENDATIONS & SUGGESTIONS
69
-
7/30/2019 Brand Penetration
70/76
1. Company should start a program for the loyal retailers and wholesalers to
reduce their complaints by providing timely supply and replacement. This
will help in increasing their sales.
2. The packaging of Parle Glucose biscuits (1/2 and 1 kilogram packs) must be improved for its better sales. The company should come up with double
packaging as people refuse to buy family pack biscuits with loose
packaging.
3. Salesmen should be properly dressed and should have good communication
skills to effectively promote the new products recently launched, by making
sure that the product reaches each and every retailer and also increase the
visibility of the products by arranging the product clearly on the shelf or rack and show its prominence.
4. To increase the number of stock keeping units {SKU} available in the
retailers store. Each salesman should stress the retailers to keep the
maximum SKUs and to maintain these SKUs throughout. With this, the
replacement of the damaged and expired biscuits should be prompt and
without any hassles, so that retailer can be saved from the loss of the
expired and damaged goods.
5. Company should adopt innovative packaging techniques, as they have their
own packaging unit as consumers are highly attracted towards new
packaging.
6. The company should take proper measures that the schemes and offers are
not gulped by the middlemen ,and that it benefits the retailers and
customers.

After conducting the survey on 410 unorganized retailers, 30 organized retailers
and 100 customers, the researchers found that there is a bigger market for biscuits

and hard boiled candy in unorganized retail stores if proper supply of goods
without breakage is there.
It was also concluded that Parle is the first preference of both the customers andretailers (Organized and unorganized both) because of its price and brand image.
Brand Parle G dominates the volume-dominated biscuit market. Even in todays
times when multinationals are beefing up their operations and trying to change the
dynamics of the market, Parle Gs numero uno position is unchallenged. Its
competitors have roped in superstars like King Khan and Sachin Tendulkar, but
Parle G has only gone from strength to strength. Brand Parle G is iconic and hasevolved over the years. Trust, relevance, affordability are its hallmarks, which
have withstood pressures from the hyper-competitive marketplace.
The Parle Biscuit brands, such as, Parle-G, Monaco, Krackjack, Marie Choice,
Hide & Seek and confectionery brands, such as, Melody, Poppins, Mangobite
enjoy a strong imagery and appeal amongst consumers across the world. Which
has resulted into Parle-G being the worlds largest selling biscuit".
The Parle name symbolizes quality, health and great taste. Constantly innovating
and catering to new tastes PARLE-G has built its reputation. This can be seen
from the success of its new brands such as Mazelo, Imli Bite etc.
Parle Products Pvt Ltd., is now lagging in services to retailers because of improper
supply and distribution in some areas and competitors taking advantage of these
points.
