Food and Beverage Products

The market for Food and Beverage Products in the Western Cape is a substantial one, with the government spending about R28 million on it. This market is relatively stable, with no year-on-year growth, so you won't have to worry about it shrinking or exploding anytime soon. With 140 suppliers already in the mix, it's a fairly crowded space, but there's still room for your organisation to make a mark, especially if you're a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned business, as the government has allocated a significant portion of the spend to these groups, with 79% going to black-owned businesses, for example. The fact that 12 different departments are buying these products also presents opportunities for you to diversify your customer base within the government. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with these departments and highlighting your business's unique ownership structure to gain a favour in the procurement process.
