Agricultural and forestry and landscape machinery and equipment

The market for agricultural and forestry machinery and equipment in the Western Cape is worth about R353 million, which is a decent size. However, it's not growing at the moment, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to be competitive to get a foothold. It's also a relatively small pool of suppliers, with only 6 companies currently providing to the 2 departments that buy this type of equipment, so it's not overly crowded. The good news is that there's a strong favour towards black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses, with significant percentages of the allocation going to these groups. If I were you, I'd make sure your organisation is B-BBEE compliant and focus on building relationships with the relevant departments in the Western Cape to get a slice of this market.
