Fuels

The market for fuels in Mpumalanga is a substantial one, with the government spending about R131 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 a relatively small group of suppliers, only 12 in total, which is a manageable number. The Department of Trade and Industry's Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment programme is also relevant here, with about 17% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses, which could be an opportunity for your organisation if you have the right credentials. If I were you, I'd focus on building relationships with the 11 departments that are buying fuels in Mpumalanga to get a foothold in this market.
