Competitor Analysis
The company’s name is Panvy Cheese. The company is located in Wichita state KS. For this company to be successful in this business, what has to be done is differentiate. This will be achieved by creating a unique selling point to make my product stand out by giving a high-quality cheese at a lower price than my competitors since I am targeting one state (Dimitrova, 2018). I will also concentrate on quality customer experience. This will be achieved by consistency in high quality, given that I'll be making my cheese using the highest quality latest technology. These are the major competencies.
My main competitors in this market are Aria foods, Fonterra, FrieslandaCampina, Savencia, the Lactalis group, and the Kraft Heinz Company (Maida, 2020). The key competencies in these companies are the revenues they bring in; they have a wide range of products and bring in a lot of money, but except for the Kraft Heinz Company, all these other companies are based abroad, and their products are majorly imported. This is one of the major weaknesses I intend to explore; giving my customers quality service on the ground.
Limit pricing and capital costs are the main barriers in entering into this market; the competitors have set pricing and advertising accompanied with marketing to put their products on the market plus their strong brand identity. Obtaining licenses and regulatory clearances are the other barriers to entry.
