Seeds and bulbs and seedlings and cuttings

The market for seeds and bulbs in Limpopo is worth about R3.1 million, which is a decent size for a niche market. What's interesting is that this market isn't growing or shrinking, it's staying steady with zero year-over-year growth. It's also extremely crowded, with only one supplier currently servicing the one department that's buying, which makes it tough to break in. Your B-BBEE level will be crucial here, especially since about 85% of the spend is allocated to black-owned businesses. If I were you, I'd focus on building a strong B-BBEE score, particularly if you're a black-owned, women-owned, or youth-owned organisation, to increase your chances of getting a favour from the department.
