The market for live animals is a relatively small one, with a total spend of about R1.5 million. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, it's staying steady with zero year-on-year growth. You're looking at a fairly exclusive space with only 6 suppliers currently operating in this area, and they're all working with a single department. The Department of Agriculture is favouring businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 44% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on developing a robust black economic empowerment strategy to increase your chances of securing a contract in this space.
