Fertilizers and plant nutrients and herbicides

The market for fertilizers and plant nutrients in KwaZulu Natal is worth about R44.7 million, which is a decent size. What's interesting is that it's not growing or shrinking, with zero year-on-year growth, so you'll need to compete for existing business. It's also a relatively uncrowded space, with only 2 suppliers currently operating in this area, and only 1 department to deal with. You should also note that the government is favouring businesses with black ownership, with about 95% of the allocation going to these organisations. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the relevant department and ensuring your business meets the Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment programme requirements to increase your chances of securing contracts.
