The present study investigates the effectiveness of distribution channels in the marketing perspective of a co-operative dairy plant.

The descriptive type of research is employed, and the questionnaire method was used to collect the agents' data. Analyzing the collected data, it is understood that the distribution channel is satisfied with the service in the organization, and it is also insisted that the need for further improving the delivery service of the distribution channel would certainly lead to a better outcome.
