laboratory as well as a department of research and development to aid in new product development. In addition to phenomenal production growth, Juhayna has demonstrated a knack for innovation. To provide a less expensive milk product to an important market sector, they established the Bekhairo brand of full cream milk and yoghurt that meets the same stringent health and hygiene standards as all other Juhayna products. Their Rayeb and Rayeb Light brands of fermented milks were the first in local supermarkets and are perennial favourites during Ramadan.

THE MARKET:
THE HISTORY OF THE EGYPTIAN DAIRY INDUSTRY:
Prior to 1950, rural Egypt was self-sufficient in dairy products. Families produced enough for their own needs and sold excess production in urban areas. Milk was delivered to small shops by a milkman who either owned the milk producing animals himself or acted as a middleman. The market before 1974 was characterized by heavy public sector involvement with public companies inexperienced in handling stock and with a low level of knowledge in dairy technology, particularly in proper hygiene, feeding and breeding methods. The only industrial production of dairy products was by the state company Misr Food & Dairy with eight factories. Change came in 1974 with the inception of the so-called Open Door Policy and the dairy industry was opened to private sector investment. From 19801987 further liberalization and opening up of the private sector resulted in the establishment of new dairy processors. Companies such as Juhayna, Nile Co. for Food Industries and Milkyland entered the market using a more marketing oriented approach. These Companies began recombining operations but would switch to fresh as more Grade A quality milk became available leading to an increase in farms providing Grade A milk (e.g. the Dallah project, Dina farms, etc.). From 1988- 1995, commercial companies began to make progress in penetrating markets that up to that period had been traditionally artisanal. Juhayna, Milkyland and Nile Co. for Food Industries were at the vanguard of developing commercial liquid milk in aseptic carton.
- 18 -
Multinational companies also began to establish local presence in Egypt (e.g. Nestle). As a result in the increase in demand by dairy processors for Grade A milk, the early 1990s saw a boom in dairy farms.
impose new duties on milk powder imports in order to protect the livelihoods of its farmers. Government. Fearing a backlash among rural voters, raised tariffs on milk powder imports to 40%, effective Septmeber 2000. By the final three months of 2000, processors reported using less milk powder as a result of the tariff and the increase in world prices of WMP and SMP. Economic slowdown and devaluation of the Egyptian pound against the dollar had a major impact on imports of consumer dairy products. Mature imported as local dairies dominated the liquid milk, yoghurt, ice cream and cheese (processed and white) sectors.
- 19 -
Just under 80% of milking animals (buffaloes and cows) are kept on small farms which have an average size of 1 hectare. The trend has begun to shift to more large scale commercial farms providing raw milk direct to processors which are meeting the demand for dairy products in urban areas. Despite smallholdings are still accounting for more than 66% of Egypts milk production, they have fallen from around 72% in 1991. Most of the cows/buffaloes on these farms are dual purpose; providing draught power as well as milk. A typical farm has one to three cows and/or buffaloes and most of the milk produced on small farms is consumed or processed at home. 2) 2)Zaraba or flying herds
The flying herd system, which is characterized by relatively short term intensive feeding and milking, accounts for about 6% of Egypts dairy herd and an estimated 20% of total milk production and is heavily concentrated in the Delta region of lower Egypt. Milk produced by the Zaraba herds is often sold as untreated liquid milk.
- 20 -
3)
Commercial Farms:
The commercial farm system now accounts for an estimated 14% of total milk production. However, commercial farms are more important in terms of cow milk production accounting for 25% of raw milk. In contrast to the other two dairy systems, large commercial dairy farms are generally characterized as follows: a. All of the privately-run farms are members of the General CoOperative for Animal Wealth. b. Herds consist of both imported dairy breeds and local crossbreeds. Cattle are subjected to routine checks by the Higher Organization for Veterinary Services. They mostly sell their milk to the leading private sector milk processing companies.
- 21 -
moves to impose standards on liquid milk (e.g. requiring the pasteurization of liquid milk) highly unlikely. Laban shops play an important role in the production of artisanal yoghurt as well as liquid milk. Laban shops continue to dominate the yoghurt market as they produce a set style of yoghurt usually made from Buffalo milk which Egyptians prefer to the recombined stirred yoghurt from the main dairy processors. White cheese production continues to be dominated by small laboratories and the under the stairs industry, which produce up to one ton/day normally for local area consumption. Again as with liquid milk, it seems very unlikely government efforts in enforcing ultra-filtration methods will be focused on the under the stairs segment of the industry due to the number of people involved and the relatively local distribution of the product.

On dairy farms, it is a usual practice to milk cows by a machine. The milking machine sucks the milk out of the teat by vacuum. The milk is drawn from the teats into a vacumised transport pipe. In a closed system straight from the cow to a collecting tank. This is a great advantage from a bacteriological point of view. Milk leaves the udder at a temperature of about 37c. Despite all precautions, it is impossible to completely exclude bacteria from milk. Therefore it is essential that unless the milk is chilled to 4c or below microorganisms will quickly spoil it. Machine milking plants are manufactured of stainless steel material to meet the hygienic requirement, and provided with circulation cleaning system for suitable detergents and sanitizers. Transportation to dairies:
Fresh chilled milk is transported from the dairy farms to the dairies in sanitary insulated stainless steel tankers. At the dairy fresh milk is quality tested through representative sampling by conducting chemical, bacteriological and organoleptic analysis. Upon acceptance fresh milk is received from milk tankers to storage tanks. Flowmeter for volumetric measurement, desecrator for air removal and plate cooler for maintaining the temperature at the level of 4c or below. Fresh milk is now stored and ready to be processed.
- 23 -
Milk pasteurization:
Fresh milk undergoes the process "Pasteurization". Where milk is pumped through a plate heat exchanger to be indirectly heated-up to 72c-75c and kept at this temperature for 15-20sec. Before being indirectly cooled-down to 4c. Temperature and time of "Pasteurization" are very important factors to Guarantee the destruction of all pathogenic bacteria and most of microorganisms in milk without the milk being damaged. During "Pasteurization" milk fat is standardized and homogenized. The purpose of standardization is to give the milk a defined, guaranteed fat content. The purpose of homogenization is to finely distribute the fat globules in the milk to reduce creaming and sensitivity to fat oxidation and give more full-bodied flavor, better mouth feel. UHT Treatment:
Pasteurized milk is exposed to "The Ultra High Temperature" (UHT) treatment. Which is a powerful heat treatment at 135-150c for 4-15 seconds leading to that all Microorganisms and heat-resistant enzymes are inactivated. The "UHT" treatment takes place in a totally closed, automatically controlled system to maintain the sterility condition of milk and avoid re-contamination, before it is aseptically packed. UHT treated milk has excellent keeping quality and can be stored for long periods of time (months) at ambient temperature without spoiling and with no need for refrigeration which means that the product can reach geographically wider markets, simplify deliveries, using fewer and cheaper distribution vehicles and eliminate return of unsold products, no expensive refrigerated display space at retailers are required, stock planning is simplified, the consumer gains the convenience as he can make fewer trips to the shops. NB UHT treatment does not contain any preservatives.
- 24 -
Filling process:
After the milk is treated it is ready to be filled inside the package under aseptic conditions to keep it clean and free from microorganisms. Stacking:
After the filling process is finished and milk is inside the aseptic package, packages are wrapped every 12 packs for example in one shrink. The wrapped packages are loaded into truck to be ready to penetrate the market. Transportation:
The trucks deliver the packed milk to the retail outlets either in a chilled or ambient conditions depending on the milk treatment. pasteurized or UHT Market:
The packs are delivered to the retailers to sell to the consumers. Retail outlets are classified into many categories, supermarkets, discounters, and groceries. In an attempt to constantly satisfy customer's needs and maintain Juhayna Milk leadership, introducing a new SKU is done periodically. As mentioned earlier, the product was first introduced in Full Cream only but due to Juhaynas keenness to fulfill the demand of it consumers for a dietary light product, Half-Cream and Skimmed Milk were later brought to the market far before competition. Juhayna Milk was first offered in two sizes, the 200ml and 1L. Later, Juhayna launched for the first time before competition its 1/2L and 1.5L at a very competitive price with a recap that will allow for storage and reuse. Now the product is available in 9 different SKUs: 1 L. Full cream Juhayna Milk 1 L. L. 200 ml 1 L. 1L. 1 L. L. 200 ml

COMPETITION:
Juhayna sales and market share were slightly affected by new competitors entering the market either in UHT format or as Fresh Milk in Bottles. After being the initiator of UHT Milk in the market, Juhayna enjoyed monopoly till the launch of Enjoy UHT Milk thus creating a slight threat to Juhayna the pioneer. In the past few years the fresh milk concept was introduced by the launch of Labanita Fresh Milk in a catchy plastic Bottle (resembling the traditional way of packing milk in the past) with an expiry date of 2 weeks. Though the idea witnessed a great success during the launch period, sales decreased dramatically afterwards due to the fragile nature of the product. This problem is not due to a deterioration in the quality of Labanita Milk, but rather a problem of a poor cooling and handling system inside supermarkets and other retailers outlets. In a way to catch up with the success of the bottle concept while protecting product quality, Domty introduced its milk in a UHT format packed in a plastic bottle with an expiry period of 3 months. Recently, Beity UHT Milk came into the scene in a catchy plastic bottle but with an expiration period of 6 months. In the meantime, the market is witnessing great competition between UHT Milk in Tetra Pak and UHT Milk in Bottles. Being an initiator of a high quality, low involvement product and relatively low price to its target group, A & B class, Juhayna UHT Milk still enjoys high market share of approximately 57% of the UHT Milk market.
CHANGE TO PRODUCT:
In terms of changes that occurred in the product, Juhayna introduced different fat content milk recently to further widen its consumer base through satisfying different tastes and needs. Now the product exists with 3 different fat content: Full Cream, Half Cream, and Skimmed Milk. Another introduction to the product is the new sizes offered such as the 1.5 Liter and Liter that is more usable with a more advanced re-cap in order to

Pre-testing is used to answer questions about whether materials are Understandable, Relevant, Attention-getting and memorable, Attractive, Credible, and Acceptable to the intended audience.
Post testing: Post-testing (during and after campaign) is important because it helps to evaluate the actual success of the campaign (was the money worth spending, were objective achieved) and feedback can also help when planning future campaigns. These tests should tell us also whether the target group was reached and weather the right message was received. Print and TV ads: 1) Recall tests: this is to test what is noticed in the ads. Test magazines will be shown to participants and they will be asked to read the magazine. We intend to make this test an unaided recall test whereby we will specify a time period (a day) leaving the magazines with the audience and a telephone survey will be then conducted by calling them and asking what they remember from the ads. Our sample size is 200 (N=200). 2) Recognition tests: for print ads, participants will be asked to look Yoppa Bottle at the magazines in which we have our ad among other ads. Then we will test their comprehension of the ad (the message, the copy, colors, etc) For the TV ad, we will be measuring the effectiveness of the ad and to what extent did the target differentiate it from the other ads in the clutter. - 77 -
