Situation Analysis
Chapter 1: Project Overview
1.1 Introduction Butter is a dairy product traditionally made by churning fresh or fermented cream or milk. It is usually use as spread and a condiment, cooking, baking, sauce making and some people use butter for pan frying. In some butters, they are sometimes added salt, flavoring, and preservatives to get different taste. The most common ones which can be found in the supermarkets are the salted and unsalted butter. Butter consists of butterfat (the fatty portion of milk), milk protein and water. The characteristic of butter is that it stays solid when refrigerated, softens to a spreadable consistency at room temperature, and melts into a thin liquid at 32-25C. Butter is generally pale yellow in color but varies from deep yellow to nearly white. Many people thought that butter is the same as margarine because of their similar look and functionalities; however, butter is not in any way the same as margarine; be it the way it is manufactured, ingredients, taste, etc. Butter is derived from animal fat (usually milk fats) while margarine is from plant oils and fats which makes margarine free from dairy products. Vegetarians and vegans consume margarine as a substitute to butter.
1.2 Problem Statements and Issue Back in August 2011, rumor started spreading saying that there was porcine DNA found in Golden Churn butter which then caused the butter to be taken down from shelves in the supermarket. Inspections and tests were carried out to verify the issue. It was found that there was no sign of porcine DNA found in any samples of the butter and JAKIM (Department of Islamic Development Malaysia) certified that Golden Churn butter is halal. The butter is then placed back on the shelves. Due to the spread of the rumor, the image of the butter is affected as people started doubting and avoiding the product. The Sarawak layered cake industry is severely damaged by the rumor as Golden Churn butter is the key ingredient to making the delicious cakes.
A poster of Sarawak layered cakes displayed at Kampung Gersik, Kuching, Sarawak is tapped to hide the wordings of Golden Churn Butter, the best butter for the generation.
1.3 Objectives and Aims Objective: - To reintroduce the product to consumers and bring its glory back in the market Aim: - Regain the trust of Muslim consumers - Reassure the consumers that the butter is certified Halal

Keith Lindsay Ballantyne had ten years experience in all practical phases of the dairying industry before founding the present Ballantyne organisation in 1929 in King Street, Melbourne; specializing in the sale of dairy produce on a wholesale basis. In 1936 the firm K. L. Ballantyne Pty. Ltd. was registered, and for the first ten years, the firm's activities comprised the sale and distribution of all forms of dairy produce, butter tinning, the refining and canning of edible fats, and the processing of eggs for sale in Australia and overseas. In the early 1940s, Companys business expanded; moved from King Street to a bigger premise in South Melbourne. In 1945 the present administrative building at 39 Ballantyne Street became the headquarters of the Ballantyne organization. By 1946, the Company's export trade was so great that the Ballantyne Export Company Pty. Ltd. was registered. This company has controlled all export business ever since. It was then renamed to Ballantyne Foods in 1998. By 1958 the Companys interests had extended to the milling of Soya Flour for the promotion of Ry-Soy and Nu-Soy bread. Also housed in this new building was the firm for contract packagers and food processors. In 1977 Ballantyne purchased the Dennis Catering and Hotel Group which included catering contracts at the famous Melbourne Exhibition Buildings and Flemington racecourse and several Melbourne suburban hotels.
Golden Churn was one of the first brands bought by Ballantyne and with over 100 years history is still one of the most popular brands of butter around the world. Canned and chilled butter packing commenced in 1945 at the South Melbourne site with 2 Benhill and 2 Kustner machines. On the chilled butter side, mini wraps and retail packs were the main business back then. The canned butter operations were moved to Hamilton New Zealand in 1980 and continue to operate there. In 1976 in view of the demands of the food service industry a new mini tub machine was purchased and the Ballantyne brand portion butter that is so well known today was born. These operations were moved to a new purpose built factory at a greenfields site in Laverton in 2000. Ballantyne started revolving air drying in 1961 for snack flavors. This lead to spray drying cheese powders in 1970, moving to South Melbourne in 1972 until 1981. The blending operations began in South Melbourne in 1961 and moved to Port Melbourne in 1988. Both spray drying and blending operations have been at the same site in the Melbourne suburbs since 2001 when the new purpose built factory was opened.

5.1.2 Shape of the Industry Most countries produce their own milk products. Therefore, the structure of the dairy industry varies accordingly to different parts of the world. In major milk-producing countries most milk is distributed through wholesale markets. In developing countries, the past practice of farmers marketing milk in their own neighbourhoods is changing rapidly. Prominent developments and a growing role for dairy cooperatives are considered a good foreign investment in the industry. The output of milk is growing rapidly and made major source of revenue growth for many farmers. As in many other branches of the food industry, dairy processing in the major dairy producing countries such as the U.S., Europe, Australia and New Zealand, has become gradually concentrated, with fewer but larger and more efficient plants operated by fewer workers. This has led to more automated and more efficient equipment. However, milk production is irregular as it is dependent on the cow biology. Producers must regulate the mix of milk which is either sold in liquid form or processed foods (such as butter and cheese) depending on changing supply and demand.
5.1.3 Development of the Industry Milk producing animals have been domesticated for thousands of years. Initially, they were part of the subsistence farming that nomads engaged in. Now, animals are farmed to produce milk to be made into products such as cheese and butter. Over the years, the Ministry of Science and Technology's "dairy industry development" project in China has proven to improved technological innovation in the industry which made great progress in key technology research and development such as breeding of milk cows, feedstuffs, prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases, processing of dairy products, quality and safety, and initially strengthen China's technology pillar system in the industry. As mentioned in the article, the project has established 20 demonstration zones with 1.18 million milk cows, increased output per cow from 5,000 to 6,500 kilograms, and fostered a great many competitive brands. Driven by the "dairy industry development" project, China's dairy industry output has maintained a very high average growth rate of 25 percent a year, and accounts for 3.7 percent of the world total. With todays technology, dairy industry is developing fast and able to produce much more than yesteryears.
5.2 The Marketplace 5.2.1 Current Condition of the Marketplace - Many dairy goods are produced by different manufacturers so the competition is quite high in the market. - Todays generation opt for healthier options than to consume fattening foods. 5.2.2 Changes in Marketplace Positive: - Many choices of dairy products for consumer to choose from. - Technology improved goods Negative: - Too many similar choices for the consumers; having hard time to make decision.

The ways they arrange the butter at the chiller display are basically the same in each supermarket, all bricked up.
Spreadable tubs and portion tubs are usually placed at the top most of the chiller display.
Butters at Giant
Butters at Jusco
The canned Golden Churns butters are usually placed on shelves but I only find them in Kuchings supermarkets.
-The product characteristics that are available at each supermarket differ. - Unsalted Golden Churn wrapped butter not found in any supermarket. - No canned butter found in Cold Storage and Giant (Seri Kembangan) - The prices of the butter vary at each supermarket.
VS
At Jusco At Giant
- Buttercup is a more favorable option for butter consumers here in West Malaysia, perhaps it is much cheaper than Golden Churn butter and the number of Buttercup being displayed at the chiller is much more than other butters.

12. Why do you choose the option above (Question 11)? Butter - Rich, thick, creamy and tasty - Its a habit / used to it - Less salt and creamy - It definitely tastes much better. I cannot stand the taste of the other options. - It's more fragrant compared to margarine, which tastes weird for me. I have not tried olive and sunflower spread though
Margarine - Easier - Habit - Taste bit more salty - Use butter to baking only
Vegetable oil spread - It gives a healthy impression - Its healthier and much cheaper - there are good vegetable spreads out there. - Because i usually buy Snow brand vegetable oil spread and it tastes pretty good so far - Tasty
Sunflower spread - Sebab its tastier and my mum memang buy that since I was a kid lagi. - Healthier and lighter than margarine and butter, also tastes nicer
Olive spread - olive is a fruit mentioned in quran and from heaven.its good. - Healthier

16. Do you think Golden Churn butter established its identity well enough when placed with other butters? Why? YES - Easily noticed / find and recognizable. Its gold in color / packaging / look. - yes. because people can easily recognize the name and the brand NO - no. I think it is buttercup is more noticeable and much cheaper priced. - No, because if it had, I would've noticed / I don't recall seeing it before / didnt notice before. - No. Golden packaging is quite typical for butters / look alike. - no. because, they are not promoting the brand well enough. such as example, they dont have any promotion or advertising for the brand itself. - No, I use spreadable butter that comes in an easy storage packaging. It doesn't grab my attention either. - Not really since the packaging is gold almost like Buttercup's packaging. By first look, you can't exactly specifically identify it as Golden Churn butter unless you really look close at it. - No. Should make the packaging more standing out OTHERS - Never actually seen the product. - Nah. the packaging is already nice but we tend to go for the usual brand that we bought. - Sort of a tradition thingy - our grandmothers used it when doing baking for festivals eg hari raya

18. Your personal opinion on Golden Churn butter. - low profile perhaps - its yummy and its my mama's choice and it also gona be my choice as well.tq - great butter! - apparently is a good butter - never heard about it, so maybe it need make new promotion, tvc and roadshow to make new generation know about it - i think, they need to change their packaging because its not attractive at all. - mmmmm very good n fattening - haven't heard much abt GC since its controversy last year (its halal status); it would take much convincing for me to use GC again until I'm satisfy that the right people say its okay... - I love the buttery taste, but I choose to go for what I perceive as healthier options, such as sunflower/olive spreads. - just nice
- Sorry I dont know that Golden Churn Butter is Halal by JAKIM. If really it is..i think there should be more promotion on tv and let muslim citizen know about that. - Better advertising may help. Also taste tests in supermarkets. Not sure what it really tastes like therefore I don't have a specific opinion. - I have never tried it before - You made me feel like buying one now. - I dont know much about this butter brand but I think there is potential in this butter being a popular brand because it has the advantage of a well-established history behind it. - looks like it would taste great for baking use - I'm still unsure about its Halal aspect because once before it become rumours that it has pig DNA. So,it's confusing.
Conclusion - Many who knows or consume butter churn is happen that the butter is the familys choice. - Had feed backs touching on the halal issue which was rumored last year (porcine DNA). - Consumers did not know that JAKIM did verify and certify that the butter is halal. - Many younger generations are willing to try the butter but the older ones need assurance from trusted people. - Buttercup butter dominates the market as it is most consumed and easily noticed and remembered by consumers. - Many feedbacks saying that they do not know about Golden Churn butter and it needs more advertising to make the butter known to more people.
