Title: The shortage of fresh fish in Bunia worries consumers
Introduction :
Consumers in the Ituri region, particularly those who appreciate delicious horse mackerel, are increasingly faced with an alarming situation: the scarcity of these food products in Bunia markets. This shortage is raising concerns and causing prices to rise, leaving residents with no choice to meet their needs for fresh fish. In this article, we will examine the reasons for this worrying situation and the calls for intervention from the relevant authorities.
Failure to comply with fishing regulations:
According to several fishermen, the shortage of fish is due to non-compliance with fishing regulations at Lake Albert by specialized services. They claim that the nets used are prohibited and harm the reproduction and growth of small fish. However, the water resources office at the provincial environment division rejects this accusation and places the responsibility on the fishermen themselves.
A call to action from the relevant authorities:
Faced with this worrying situation, traders and associations of women sellers are requesting rapid intervention from the competent authorities. They demand that compliant nets be provided to fishermen to facilitate the capture and distribution of fish. This demand is essential to meet the food needs of the local population and to maintain a regular supply to Bunia’s markets.
Conclusion :
The shortage of fresh fish in Bunia is a problem that concerns many local consumers and traders. Effective regulatory measures and compliance with fishing standards are essential to ensure an adequate supply of fresh fish. It is therefore crucial that the relevant authorities take concrete measures to resolve this problem and ensure the availability of necessary food products to the population of Ituri.
