There are distributors of cheese starter cultures located all around the world, but the vast majority of the warehouses distribute the same CHOOZIT™ product that is produced by Danisco®, a division of DuPont®. DuPont® is an innovative company that provides knowledge and research to the food and beverage industry, as well as having a very prominent global presence with offices in a large portion of the world’s countries as seen in Figure 3. In addition to Dupont®, Table 2 outlines additional competition that Danlac faces when exporting Penicillium candidum bacterial cultures to Nepal.
