Export Challenges
Transportation Challenges
Many steps would be involved in the transportation of shipping cheese culture packages to Nepal. The culture packages would need to be transported via truck from FedEx shipping company located in Cornwall, twenty minutes from Glengarry in Lancaster Ontario (FedEx, 2016). Then FedEx could send ten 10-gram package out of the Toronto airport in one tear and water resistant envelope at a time to the landing in Kathmandu Nepal (FedEx, 2016). From the Nepalese airport, the packages would be transported to the hill region and the higher populated area’s where local farmers would be currently making cheese with herds of buffalo. Several steps would be involved to ship cheese culture packages to Nepal.
Storage Challenges
The packages of cheese culture could last up to four months at room temperature, therefore it would not be necessary for the culture to be refrigerated during shipping (Berry Hill Ltd. 2016). The temperatures in Nepal change over the seasons, in June it becomes an average of 23 degrees Celsius, meaning the cultures would need to be used by September or October. However, in the winter, the average temperature is 9 degrees Celsius which is warmer than preferable but the cultures would still last around three months longer than the summer. If starter cultures could be kept in frozen or cool area’s they could last an entire year.
There is little frozen storage within the Hill regions of Nepal therefore they would most likely be stored in caves. This could potentially cause an issue with moisture if the opened packages of cheese culture were not sealed or protected properly. This would require Canada to supply cheese culture every time Nepal was running low, adding to the shipping costs (Laurienzo et. Al. 2006). The culture packages could be transported in tear and water resistant envelopes from FedEx to protect the contents after opening (FedEx, 2016). Then the Nepalese cheese maker who would only use ¼ teaspoon at a time could store their packages of culture within the shipping envelope and keep it in a cool place without losing the contents.
