Graphs And Numbers. Prospects for national growth.

Prospects for national growth. South Africa’s agricultural sector is one of the most important sectors in the country, already agriculture contributes around R101 650 million which contributes at around 3% to the economy A more analytical and data-driven approach can see an increase alone of approximately an extra 3% growth So, this approach will benefit not only individuals interested in the product but will contribute to the country as a whole and see rapid growth within the South African market in the agricultural industry.

The goal for the organization. To expand to every province. The start-up of the company is to target the biggest provincial role players within the country. Targeting the biggest provinces first will help meet target audiences and will help expand the business name rapidly.

THE PROVINCIAL GOAL. Start with the biggest role players and then expand so Western Cape and Free State as they contribute the most will be the starting point. Focus further on an expansion to the North-West and Mpumalanga Finalizing with the remaining provinces, the goal is to provide for all provinces within the first 4 years of operation.

PROSPECTS FOR INTERNATIONAL GROWTH:. The starting point for international growth will also be a data-driven point. The first starting point will look at our neighboring countries, such as Namibia, Lesotho and Botswana as they are big role players in the agricultural sector as well and working with these countries because they have similar agricultural challenges compared to South Africa so they will play the most important part into the expansion into the international market. We will hope to achieve this goal in the 5th year of operation before expanding the business into the North and West African region..
