Seeds and bulbs and seedlings and cuttings

The market for seeds, bulbs, and seedlings is a significant one, with the government spending about R3.5 million on these products. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, which could indicate that it's a mature market with established players. With only 38 suppliers catering to just 2 government departments, it's not an overly crowded space, but it's worth noting that the government has a strong favour towards organisations with black ownership, with about 85% of the allocation going to these businesses. The fact that a significant portion of the allocation also goes to women-owned and youth-owned businesses, at 46.51% and 26.02% respectively, is also an important consideration. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these departments and ensuring your business meets the necessary ownership criteria to increase your chances of securing a contract.
