Live animals

The market for live animals in the Eastern Cape is about R1 million, which is a relatively small but potentially interesting space for your business to explore. What's notable is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, with zero year-over-year growth, so it's a stable space. With only one supplier currently operating in this space, it's not very crowded, which could be a favourable condition for you to enter. The government also has a significant allocation for businesses with certain ownership profiles, such as black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned, which could be beneficial if your business fits into one of these categories. To take advantage of this, you should review your B-BBEE level and consider how you can leverage it to compete for government contracts in this space.
