Agricultural and forestry and landscape machinery and equipment

Your business is considering the market for agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment in the Eastern Cape, which is about R204 thousand in size. This market is relatively small and not growing, with no year-over-year growth, so you'll need to be strategic to win contracts. It's also a fairly exclusive market, with only 5 suppliers currently working with 3 departments in the province. Notably, the government is prioritising businesses with black ownership, women ownership, and youth ownership, with significant percentages of the spend allocated to these groups. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the relevant departments and ensuring your organisation meets the favourable B-BBEE requirements to increase your chances of securing contracts.
