Live animals

You're looking to get into the live animals market in Mpumalanga, which is worth about R3.2 million. This market is relatively small and not growing, with no year-over-year growth, so you'll need to be strategic to get a foothold. It's also a fairly exclusive market, with only 4 suppliers currently working with the single department that's procuring in this space. The good news is that there's a strong favour towards businesses with black, women, and youth ownership, with about 43.7% of the spend going to black-owned businesses, 29.5% to women-owned businesses, and 22.4% to youth-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd make sure your organisation is B-BBEE compliant and targets the Department of Agriculture, Rural Development, Land and Environmental Affairs in Mpumalanga to increase your chances of getting a contract.
