CRITICAL ANALYSIS OF MILKFED
Corporate Focus:
MILKFED is serving the cause of Milk producers of the state in collaboration with
National Dairy Development Board (NDDB) by increasing the number of functional
MPCSs from 4642 in 1990-91 to 6248 in 2000-01 and their membership rose by
90000 from 2.631lac in 1991 to 3371lac liter in 2000-01. However, rehabilitation
plan of sick Milk Unions has yet to reach the implementation stage.
Strength/Care Competency/Opportunities:
Milkfed earned a net profit of Rs.3.19crore in 2000-01. Its core competency in
marketing of Milk & Milk Products by creating a marketing infrastructure is
serving a social purpose by providing income to land-less laborers small and
marginal farmers scheduled caste families and households headed by women
having just one or two cattle only as nearly 90% of the member of Milk Producers
Cooperative Societies belong to these categories
(Annexure 20) Operation Flood programmed of dairy development is
implemented by it in the state.
Milk Vision 2004 to stabilize the gap between Milk procured during peak seasons
and lean season has been drawn by MILKFED to optimally utilize Milk Plants for
reducing their losses. Moreover, Model dairy farms in collaboration with
Technology and Assessment Council (TIFAC) are being developed bt it a capital
outlay of Rs.2.00crore.
RESTRUCTING/REVIVAL:
Export Ropar and Ludhiana Milk Unions the remaining 9 unions are incurring
losses. Their combined accumulated losses are Rs.76.33crore as on 31-03-2001.
This way, cooperative Milk unions structure of MILKFED is losing its commercial
viability over the last two years by restricting itself to the sale of Milk & Milk
Products only and not exploiting its well developed procurement sale and supply
distribution channels to market fresh vegetables and fruits along with processing
and procurement of oil seeds. To make these plants viable and socially
sustainable the introduction of latest technology in Milk; plants and full
exploitable of its marketing strength in procurement and marketing network in
the need of the hour. MILKFED is a vital mechanism for more than one reason in
the Punjab context. First and foremost it is engaged in raising the viability of
Agriculture of the small/marginal farmers. Landless labors, families with no male
earners and the scheduled castes. It is therefore of utmost importance that the
Government of Punjab make its due contribution for the purpose of leveraging
finances or the National Dairy Development Board and other cooperative
institutions. Infect if necessary Government should get District Milk Union
Cooperative so that hitherto slow extension is intensified and the maximum
potential for cost reduction is achieved. The other important reason for
Government to supply this activity even by subsides to induce a shift out of the
paddy-wheat rotation by encouraging the cultivation of better seeds vegetables,
fruits and eventually oil seeds and meat products.

LOCATION AND LAYOUT

In the milk plant there are hard receiving departments: Production and
Engineering. The location of the stores department is carefully planned out and it
is housed in a position which is very near to production department so that

and handling devices for keeping the material and equipments properly. The store
is divided into racks which are further sub-divided into small spaces allocated.
Special attention is paid to storage which is liable to leakage or evaporation and
deterioration.



SELECTION OF ROUTES

Routes are selected for the delivery of milk through these societies. Shortest milk
routes are preferable so that milk reach to plant in same condition, otherwise
milk can become sour or curd. The societies which are far away from milk plant,
the four milk chilling centers are established for them. Societies send milk directly
to milk plant through chilling centers. These chilling centers chill milk at 4 degree
Celsius which keep the milk in a good condition for 24hours. After chilling the milk
these centers send milk to the milk plant.

Here are some eye openers:
Urea and caustic soda are added to thicken the milk.

standard.
Synthetic milk is added to pure milk to increase the quantity.
Sometimes pure milk is separated, the cream is removed and the skimmed
milk powder is added to it.
