Abstract

For this export project, we chose a product from the Grenoble region: Mandrin beer.
Mandrin beer is a Limited Liability Company (LLC) that is based in Isère and whose specialty is manufacturing beer - nut, fir and blonde. This young company is growing in this region and exporting could help make it bigger.
We wanted to export Mandrin for two reasons:
• Its flagship product, the beer nut is quite heavy which is best drunk during the cold winter of Canada.
• Canada is a country with Anglo-Saxon culture, which is why we assumed that they consume beer in large quantities as they do in the U.S. or Britain.
However, this remains only speculation. In the following study, we will analyze the macro environment, market size and accessibility of cultural to see if this export would be judicious and profitable.

The Canadian market: analysis of the macro environment

Geography

 It shares a 6,000 kilometer long border with the United States and five freshwater lakes (the Great Lakes). These, combined with the seaway, St. Lawrence, are a means of direct access to the Atlantic and international markets.

Population
 According to the 2000 census, Canada had 30,750,087 inhabitants who were spread over ten provinces and three territories (Yukon and Northwest Territories).
 Over 80% of Canadians live in Quebec, Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia, 200 kilometers or less from the U.S. border.
 Large urban centers have been established in Toronto (4.4 million), Montreal (3.3 million) and Vancouver (1.9 million).Ottawa (1 million), Ontario, is Canada's capital.
