Seeds and bulbs and seedlings and cuttings

Your business is looking at a market in KwaZulu Natal for seeds, bulbs, and seedlings, which is worth about R292,000. This market is relatively small and not growing, with no year-over-year growth. It's also a fairly exclusive space, with only 4 suppliers currently working with 1 department. The good news is that there's a strong favour towards black-owned, women-owned, and youth-owned businesses, with 85% of the allocation going to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on ensuring your B-BBEE level is in order, particularly if you're a black-owned business, to take advantage of this strong preference in the procurement process.
