Seeds and bulbs and seedlings and cuttings
R4 million government market · 38 suppliers · FY 2025/26
The market for seeds, bulbs, and seedlings is a significant one, with about R3.5 million spent by government departments in this area. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth recorded, and it's served by a moderate number of suppliers, around 38. Notably, a large portion of the spend, about 85%, goes to black-owned businesses, which is a key consideration for your business if you're looking to compete. To break into this market, it would be wise to ensure your business meets the relevant Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (B-BBEE) criteria, particularly given the high percentage of spend allocated to black-owned businesses. Your next step should be to review your B-BBEE level and see how you can improve it to increase your chances of securing government contracts in this space.
