Agricultural and forestry and landscape machinery and equipment

The market for agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment in Gauteng is about R2.2 million, which is a relatively small market. Unfortunately, it's not growing, with zero year-over-year growth, so you'll need to be strategic to get a foothold. It's also a very crowded market, with only one supplier currently serving the needs of one department, so you'll need to differentiate your business to stand out. Your B-BBEE level will be crucial, as a significant portion of the allocation is set aside for black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses, with over 83% allocated to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on developing a strong B-BBEE programme to increase your chances of securing contracts in this market.
