Fresh fruits

The market for fresh fruits in Limpopo is a significant one, with the government spending about R2.5 million on it. However, it's not a growing market, as the year-over-year growth is zero, indicating that the demand is steady but not increasing. You'll be competing with about 33 other suppliers for a spot, so it's a fairly crowded space. It's worth noting that the government favours businesses with a strong black economic empowerment programme, with about 73% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd make sure your organisation has a solid B-BBEE level and a strong programme in place to increase your chances of securing a contract in this market.
