9.2 Competitive Landscape
The South African hemp market is characterised by limited domestic production capacity and high reliance on imported raw materials. Current competitors include a small number of licensed cultivators (generally small-scale, sub-50 hectare operations), imported hemp fibre from China, India, and Eastern Europe, and imported hemp food products from Canada, Europe, and Australia.
GreenSavanna’s competitive advantages include scale of production (150–500 hectares vs. sub-50 hectare competitors), vertically integrated processing capability (reducing intermediary costs), proximity to major South African industrial centres, and a strong founding team with deep agricultural and commercial expertise.
