After a few unsuccesful marketing attempts in the Phillippines and Venezuela, P&G is now fully-functional and succesful in Nicaragua. By using a partnership/licensing model with a local manufacturer, P&G has ensured cheap manufacture and wide distribution of the product to at-need sectors. This partnership additionally benefitted the local community, as the production and sales of NutriStar required the creation of more sustainable livelihoods.
