  28. Identify the trends…no longer just a fresh chevre world! • These consumers are better traveled and their palates have expanded towards more adventurous foods • Almost a necessity for stores to offer a range of products to distinguish themselves from competitors

  29. Challenges to the Goat Cheese Industry • Sku/Industry Consolidation- Mergers & acquisitions and increased competition as more players enter the market • Control Label-Increased pressure from large chain store towards private label • Pricing- result of increased competitive landscape
