Introduction to Engro:
Engro corporation is Pakistans one of the largest amass (conglomerate) and its business ranges from
fertilizers to power generation. After it, for the overseeing of its business subsidiaries Engro chemical
limited converted to a holding company structure. And then two major changes occurred in Engro
chemical limited, it was renamed as Engro Corporation limited and transferred its fertilizer business to a
separate subsidiary, Engro Fertilizers limited.
Engro Corporation currently consists of seven businesses that include chemical fertilizers, industrial
automation, PVC resin, power generation, foods, commodity trade and a bulk liquid chemical training.

performance of the its subsidiaries, it is also responsible for leadership development, allocation of capital,
human resource guiding, CSR activities, management of talent, control structures, legal & IT support,
control structures and leadership roles in public relations.
Engro is working continually towards its vision and has come a long way to becoming a premier Pakistani
company globally.
In the journey of Engro for becoming a profitable company and a growth oriented company, their
management structure has played an important role for creating an accessible and more transparent
organization.

History:
From Esso to Engro:
In 1957 Pak Stanvac, an ESSO/Mobil endeavor in search of oil exposed Mari Gas in a small inaccessible
area in upper Sindh. Esso then reputable urea plant, after that Esso Pakistan Fertilizer Company Limited

Environmental Scanning:
Gathering information from outside & inside the organization and delivering to the key people
within the organization. The simplest way is through SWOT analysis.
SWOT Analysis:
Strengths:
As older being a brand of Engro foods, consumers can relate their image of Engro with Olpers.
Engro being a well established name in fertilizer industry and the information technology
industry. This means that the brand is well known and the costumer will have a well known
association with its product Olpers milk and can see it as a good quality product. As Engro is well
known all over the world, it can easily attract the investors from outside the country so that it may
be backed with other competitor companies like Nestle etc. it can also easily afford the costs for
the development and research of the Olpers having order to introduce any new product. It can also
distribute the brand through better channels because of its Long arm relation with the suppliers
and distributors of the industry.
Some of the strengths of Engro foods are:
Personal Relations with farmers
ENGRO has gained a god reputation among the farmers. The farmers get an opportunity to sell
their milk to the industry and to supply them milk which is an advantage and strength of Engro.
Positive response from customers
In first year of its launce it got customer attention and also got them satisfied by the quality and
taste
The industry has done a very strong research regarding the consumer and the product before
launching their product Olpers done a strong consumer & product research before and after
launching the product. EFL has hired various global research partners like AC Nielsen,
Mindshare, JWT Asiatic and MARS marketing and advertising agencies to develop its future
portfolio.
Third-Generation Plant
Only Engro food limited has the third generation UTH milk plant in the country which uses bacto
fuge technology to eliminate virtually the bacterias and ensure premium quality and health.
Some other strength is:
Global distinction of Engro
professional dairy collection system
observance their quit standards high
concentric diversification
Good market share of Engro innovative and chemical
nonspecific variety name of Olpers
excellent repute of the companionship
Weaknesses:
Olwell TVC
Olwell ad which was based on western life style did not match the Pakistan's religious values.
They did not focused about the ethics, religious beliefs and cultural values of Pakistan and their ad
failed.
Owning Red Color
As the company has not owned its own color like all the other companies like Nestle, which uses
green color and that of haleeb which uses blue color. So it might be difficult for the customers to
recognize their product in a super market store. Therefore the company must focus for a color to
use in its products for better strategic alliances.
Low Quality Milk
As Engro foods limited is not having its own dairy farms has to collect milk from different farms,
it collects milk from 40 different centers which might be sometimes of low quality as you cannot
trust any other if you are not having your own farms.
Packaging
As tetra pack is the only option available to Olpers because it is having monopoly in the
packaging sector in Pakistan. Which must cost them high and it might increase the production
MUHAMMAD RIZWAN
cost.
Milk anthology & giving out costs
As the only milk processing facility is situated in sindh whereas 34 out of 40 milk collection
centers are located Punjab. Which increases the collection and distribution cost as because of the
chances of getting the milk spoiled because of too much traveling time?
It also has a drawback that it has narrow portfolio as compared to the other companies like Nestle
and Haleeb foods having a much diversified dairy product line.
Some other weaknesses are:
Opportunities
Increased funding by Government
As the govt has given notice about increasing the funding for farmers .which might be an
opportunity for the farmers to better able to store the milk for longer period of time.
Increased consumption of PLM
As there is an increased consumption of PLM that might result in an opportunity for accelerated
growth and also for the company because each competitor wants to increase the milk penetration
and also for the consumers through different advertising media.
Awareness
As the literacy rate is increasing the awareness about health and hygiene issues might increase so
by advertising Engro might led to increased processed milk consumption.
3rd largest producer of milk
Pakistan is the third largest milk producing country in the world with the total production of 32
billion liters a year. Milk is the largest commodity from the livestock sector accounting for 51
percent of the total value of the sector. This production might increase due to the government
taken steps.
Some other opportunities are:

Threats
Competition
A threat of competition is there for Engro foods as for there already exist competitors like Nestle
and Haleeb which are already in the eyed of the consumers and gaining attention of consumers
eliminating the competitors might be difficult for the company because these brands are there in
the industry for long time. Also if any new company enters into the milk industry that might also
affect the company.
Perceptions and Price Differentials
A threat to the company might be the consumers perception and the price differentials. It is very
important that the Olpers must come up to the expectations of the consumer so that they might
pay the demanded price of their product. And also that the other competitors and forces may try to
eliminate Oilerss. As it has competitive competitors like NESTLE and HALEEB. These
competitors may develop marketing strategies to eliminate The Engro foods Olpers. Which might
create an economic downturn in the business cycle?

S - Social Factors
As the literacy rate is increasing and the awareness among the people is increasing people are
getting well aware of that what is good and what is wrong for them also the UHT milk treatment
of Engro food has helped to bring about a change in life style of the Pakistani People. Also as the
literacy rate is increasing the attitude of people is also changing so that to use UHT milk instead
of open Gwala milk.
T - Technological Factor
The creative use of new technology often gives the competitive advantage this kind of
environment does not change quickly but it brings out disastrous changes for the industry. The
administration of Engro foods claim that they have the latest technology of milk processing and
they also say that there way is much different than its competitors. The idea being this was to
provide consumer with the best hygienic and quality milk and other products which are not
manufactured by any other company.
E - Economical Factor
One of the economical factor and an advantage to the Engro foods is that there is no sales tax on
milk. Which is also a plus point for the company? Some problems are also faced in the economy
as the milk production is seasonal and keep fluctuating. So special steps must be taken to keep it
working smoothly. Haleeb also dont
Charge interest on its products which also makes a huge difference economically.

Industrial Analysis:
Porters Five Forces Model:
Rivalry is intense between the competitors within the food industry as companies
like Nestle, Haleeb, and Engro foods are competing well within the industry with
each other. As the difference between one food company and the other is not that
great so in such a scenario the company who will have better cost structure,
efficient operations & minimum cost will be able to attract the customers towards it
and can grab the market.

In case of Engro foods competitors like haleeb & Nestle are consistently involve in
their homework in order to capture the market and in attracting the customers
towards them. Competitor like goodmilk is also adding competition to the industry.
Capital requirements:
In order to produce the packed products it requires a big investment in terms of finances, human
resources, technicalities etcso these prevents a new entrant from entering to the industry.
Because it is not easy to do.
Economy of Scale:
A new entrant has to operate on large scale basis because it forces the new entrant to operate on
large scale basis or either to accept the cast disadvantage. As the existing firms in the industry
have achieved their breakeven & are operating beyond that. As the new entrant might have to
suffer with the scale related barriers not only in manufacturing the products but in the marketing
& advertisement as well and all other related issues.
Product Differentiation:
This one also presents a entry barrier for the new entrant as in the industry the competitors like
Nestle & Engro foods are differentiating their products. So this could be a difficult task for a new
comer to the industry.
3. Availability of substitutes:
Substitutes are available in the food industry as there is not much difference
between the companies operating in the food industry. As all the companies are
offering similar type of products. So if one company increases the price of their
products the customers can switch to the products & services of another company.
So this also have an impact at the attractiveness of an industry.

Number of Suppliers:
As milk is a standard commodity so is easily available from number of suppliers like milkmen &
farmers. So suppliers are not the big issue for the companies currently available in the food
industry. As number of suppliers are available & those are willing to sale their milk.
Suppliers also have less capacity to bargain as they also have to sale their milk and they are also
looking someone to purchase. And another reason is that the company is buying in bulk
purchase.
Backward Integration:
The main reason behind is that the buyers & distributors can integrate and manufacture the
products by their own as it requires much resources. So the limitation of resources limit them &
the buyers have low bargaining power in the food industry.
