Core Values
A.C Nielson that carried out the marketing research for ENGRO foods when the idea of diversifying into a new market was introduced.
ENGRO wanted to setup a new fertilization plant but due to certain
constraints from the government wasn’t able to do so.
They came up with several options including telecommunications and power plant but they found out that the food industry held the greatest promise.

Behavioral segmentation
SWOT Analysis
Engro’s Back PR with farmers Positive response from customers Strong consumer & product research Third-Generation Plant
Strengths
WeaknessesOlwell
Olwell ad which is based on Western life style, ENGRO foods brand management showed a man who put off his clothes & remain just in his undergarments, or half nude lady in a cat walk or men admiring the figures of a lady in mix gender health club.
Weaknesses
EFL is not having its own dairy farms; it largely collects loose milk from farmers & gwalas through its 40 milk collection centers, which sometimes is of low quality and impure because they add vegetable oil to milk to get higher prices
Low Quality Milk
Milk collection & distribution costs
EFL’s 34 out of 40 milk-collection centers are located in Punjab, whereas its only milk processing facility is situated near Sukkhur (Sindh). It increases the milk collection &distribution costs
Narrow brand portfolio
EFL’s brand portfolio still consists of just 3 products i.e. Olper’s Milk, Olwell Milk and Olper’s Cream. Whereas its competitors like Nestle and Haleeb Foods have a much diversified line of dairy products.
Weaknesses
Owning Red Color
Weaknesses
The company has not owned the color red like Nestle has a green Milkpak; Haleeb has a blue carton etc. This may create problems because when a consumer enters a grocery shop, then he/she might have problems in recalling the brand
Packaging
EFL is dependent upon Tetra Pak for the packaging of its entire dairy products. Tetra Pak is the only option available to Olper’s for packaging because it is having monopoly in the packaging sector in Pakistan
Opportunities
1. Increased funding by Government2. Increased consumption of PLM3. Awareness 4. Improving Economy
Opportunities
Pakistan is the Third largest producer of milk in the world with a total production of 32 billion liter of milk a year, whose value is more than that of the combined value of wheat and cotton, from a total herd size of 50 million milk animals (buffaloes and cows). Livestock accounts for 46.8 percent of agricultural value added and about 10.8 percent of the GDP.
Third largest producer of milk
ThreatsCompetition
Nestle Haleeb
These brands have been in the milk industry far too long and have left a mark in the minds of consumers in terms of quality.
Threats
Consumer’s preferences change with time and prices might create certain barriers in terms of the profit margins for Olper’s. For example, lose milk is still cheaper than packaged milk and that is also one factor that people still prefer to buy lose milk.
Perceptions and Price Differentials
Production Plants
