12.1 Brand Positioning
GreenSavanna will be positioned as a premium, sustainability-focused producer of industrial hemp raw materials and semi-processed products. The brand promise centres on three pillars: quality (consistent, high-grade hemp products meeting international standards), sustainability (regenerative farming practices, minimal chemical inputs, carbon-positive cultivation), and reliability (dependable supply volumes with professional logistics and customer service).
12.2 Marketing Channels
12.2.1 Direct Industrial Partnerships
The primary go-to-market strategy is direct B2B engagement with industrial customers. The Commercial Director will lead relationship development with textile mills, food processors, cosmetic manufacturers, and construction material companies, securing medium- to long-term off-take agreements that provide revenue visibility and production planning certainty.
12.2.2 Export Markets
Export development will commence in Year 2, targeting European markets (Germany, Netherlands, UK), Asian markets (China, Japan, South Korea), and regional African markets (Nigeria, Kenya, East Africa). The Company will work with established export facilitators and trade agencies including WESGRO, Trade and Investment Limpopo, and the Department of Trade, Industry and Competition (DTIC).
12.2.3 Industry Events and Trade Networks
GreenSavanna will maintain an active presence at key industry events including NAMPO Harvest Day, the Global Hemp Summit, Hemp Industry Association conferences, and Agri SA exhibitions. These platforms will support brand awareness, customer acquisition, and industry intelligence gathering.
12.3 Pricing Strategy
Pricing will be set at a competitive level relative to imported alternatives, offering South African customers a cost-effective domestic supply option while capturing margin from eliminated import logistics and duties. Export pricing will be benchmarked against international market rates with adjustments for quality, certification, and delivery terms.
