ABSTRACT

This project work titled “A feasibility study on the production of yogurt” a case study of Fan Milk Nigeria Plc, Oregun –Ikeja has been written to p-rovide an intensive knowledge of the practical aspect of producing yogurts in addition to the theories which involves the economical and nutritional benefits of yogurts already learnt by the researchers.

This study will look into the production processes with Fan Milk Nigeria Plc, Oregun – Ikeja. The coverage of the subject matter is extensive but the presentation has been condensed into the form of study notes for easy comprehension.

The sources of data used on completion of this research work are both primary and secondary which would be analyzed using the Chi Square (X2) statistical instrument.

Research on the production of yogurt would be made and necessary recommendation would be analyzed thereof.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Yogurt is a fermented milk product produced by bacterial fermentation of milk. With reference to the Oxford English Dictionary; It is a thick white liquid food; mostly made by adding bacterial to milk and often flavored with fruit. As explained by Fan Milk Nigeria Plc “Yogurt is a favorite breakfast, lunch or snack food made by the friendly natural bacterial fermentation of milk. It is basically a form of curdled milk but with less fat”.

Yogurt is a widely enjoyed dairy product that is essentially an altered form of milk containing waste product from fermentation. The lactic acid that is produced from the fermentation of lactose contributes to the sour taste of yogurt by decreasing PH and allows for the characteristic texture by acting on the proteins (Zourar, Accolas&Desirazeaud 1992).

Yogurt has been continually studied for its health benefits particularly from the additions of probiotics. Current research has been investigating how to improve yogurt both in terms of its potential as a healthy food and as an appetizing product that appeals to the general population. The role of lactic acid bacterial (BAL)are widely appl,ied in various fluid including agriculture especially the field of food.

1.1  BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY

Yogurt production could be considered as a particular case batch or semi-continuous production process. The research community has study this type of production process during the last twenty (20) years. One of the main features of batch processes is that a large number of product are produced from a few initial product recipes. The same holds for yogurt production. Final yogurt production may differ in at least one of the following features:

  • Fermentation recipe type origin
  • Total cup weight
  • Number of cup per piece
  • Labeling depending on their customer destination
  • Flavours and packaging cup type (material shape etc).

Packaging rates may significantly tarry from one product to another.

The word yogurt comes from Turkey and refers to a tart, thick milk. Yogurt does not have one single origin, however, it is generally agreed among historians that yogurt and other fermented milk products were discovered accidentally as a result of milk being stored by primitive methods in warm climates.

Most historical accounts attribute yogurt to the Neolithic peoples of central Asia around 6000 B.C.Herdsmen began the practice of milking their animals and the natural enzymes in the carrying containers (animal stomachs) curdled the milk essentially making yogurt not only did the milk then keep longer, it is thought that people preferred the taste so continued the practice, which then evolved  over centuries into commercial yogurt making.

Recorded history states that Genghis khan, the founder of the MONGOL Empire, and his armies lived on yogurt. It wasn’t long before word of the perceived health benefits of yoghurt traveled through to other peoples, and the consumption spread  throughout the east.

The first industrialized production of yogurt is attributed to Isaac Carusso in 1919 in the Barcelona-his company “Danone” was named for his son “little Daniel”. Turkish immigrants brought yogurt to north America in the 1700s but it really didn’t catch on until the 1904s when Daniel Carassso, the son of  Danone founder Isaac, and Juan Metzger took over a small yogurt factory in the Bronx, New York the company is now called Dannon in the united states.

Yogurt with fruit on the bottom was first introduced in 1947 by Dannon. The popularity of yogurt soared in the 50s and 60s with the boom of the health food culture and is now available in many varieties to suit every taste and lifestyle.

1.2     HISTORY OF FANMILK NIGERIA PLC

Fan Milk Nigeria Plc was founded in 1960 by a Danish merchant and industrialist Erik Emborg with a recombination plant at Ibadan, a distribution center in Lagos with less than thirty (30) employees.

The plant produced fresh milk from imported milk powder. Initially, the product range was white milk, chocolate milk, cottage cheese and set yogurt. The main outlet was bicycle vendors supplied with cold product from a growing number of smaller depot.

In the 1970, Fan Milk introduced yogurt drink, ice lollies, ice cream and new tetra pakpackaging technology. The new product became very popular in the market and generated the financial strength to set up further depot and in 1981; a second recombination plant in Kano came up.

At the outset, the foreign partner owned 96% of fan Milk Plc. When the government introduced the Nigeria Enterprises Promotion Decree in the late 1970s, Fan Milk plc increased its capital and invited more Nigerian to invest which created a 60% Nigerian participation in the company.

During the 1980s and 1990s, import restriction, economic difficulties, devaluation and shortages of fuel weakened Fan Milk plc. In 1988, the foreign partners and the industrialization fund for developing countries (Denmark) agreed to an infusion of capital which led the company restructure finances, refurbish cold rooms, increase the number of depot and introduce a product, tampico, a fruit drink which became an instant success in the market.

The expansion and the rehabilitation programme return Fan Milk Plc to profitability. Fan Milk has sister companies in Ghana, Senegal, Togo, Benin, Burkina Faso and Cote d’ voire. The head quarters of the foreign partners, Fan Milk International is situated in Aalborg, Denmark

1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEMS

There are various problems attributed to the production of yogurt. The problems that may be encountered during and after the production are as follows:

  1. Usage of inadequate equipments and machinery may lead to improper production of yogurt. This will have a negative effect in the production and sales of yogurt as it also have an effect on the public.
  2. Improper usage of the right proportion of materials, products or chemicals in the production process will have a negative effect on the public which will eventually have an effect on the production of yogurts.
  3. Low interest rate: The sour taste of yogurt made consumers to have low interest in its consumption. This may discourage the producers and affects the production process.
  4. Inadequate power supply: The state of power supply in the country (Nigeria) is very poor. Producers need to incureextra expenses to enable power supply. This may discourage the producers in the production of yogurt.
  5. Lack of good storage facilities to keep raw materials and the finished products may also lead to low production output of yogurts in the economy.

1.4 PURPOSE/AIMS AND OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The objectives of the research study will be:

  1. To examine the necessary procedures involved in the production of yogurts
  2. To examine the suitable source of Raw materials in producing yogurt
  3. To evaluate an effective marketing strategy of yogurt production.
  4. To investigate the structure and composition of yogurt and its size in the company (Fan Milk Plc.)

1.5 RESEARCH QUESTIONS

There are many questions that need to be asked as regards the feasibility report. These are likely questions:

  1. Does yogurt production have a positive impact on the economy?
  2. Does the company prepare (Fan Milk Plc) adequate facilities towards the making of the product (Yogurt)?
  3. Is yogurt production a means of employment opportunity?
  4. Does yogurt production have an effective marketing strategy?
