The
Kirumba Fish Market was designed to change Kirumba’s historical local market which
was operating at the time under very poor conditions and with high economic losses.
It was designed to become a proper market with appropriate facilities to
develop the fisheries sector mainly Dagaa
(Rastrineobola argentea) trade. Also
the presence of this market has enhanced Dagaa distribution, reduced post
harvest losses and improved the processing of Nileperch by swalting, drying as
well as trimmings from fish factories. The market employs more than 3000 people
who are engaged in different daily activities.
FISHING &EXPORT OF DAGAA (RASTRINEOBOLA ARGENTEA)
Dagaa is
the second economic species from Lake Victoria after Nile Perch and the largest
in terms of local and regional trade in Eastern and Southern Africa. The
current traditional methods of processing Dagaa, contribute to market distribution
limitations to the municipal. However there are still great quantities of Dagaa
in the Lake. Expert fishing and processing of Dagaa in a hygienic way before
vacuum packing in containers could facilitate exports especially to Indonesia
and Malaysia.
