Fish from Lake Tanganyika is a product that is excessively expensive in markets and in various fish shops. Although popular with the vast majority of the population, fish remains a food product that is difficult to access given the purchasing power of the population. Fishery specialists believe that the shortage of fish on the market is due to the lack of effective means that this product can be stored for a long time. For fish from Lake Tanganyika to contribute significantly to the development of the national economy, at the very least, its drying and smoking systems must be improved.
