The lake in Kirundo province is going to be used for fish farming. According to the company Aqua Burundi, the volume will increase to a thousand tons per year. Will all those in need of fish find the Lake Tanganyika that will be closed for three months from the fifth month? Are utilities including electricity available? These and others see it differently.
Fish stocks in Lake Tanganyika on the Burundi side have been declining. Sea farming in different parts of the country is being multiplied, but even though those who need fish and shellfish mostly did not get it to the extent they wanted but a few were found, the prices are also high.
Watering Lake Tanganyika for three months It is a decision made to increase the number of people. In the meantime, is Lake Cohoha coming to a halt?
David Nshimirimana who lives in the city of Bujumbura, says it is good that there are other places where fish can be caught. According to him, there is no other place where the sweetest candies can come from than in Lake Tanganyika. Tilapia is said to be the only one that will be destroyed.
How do buyers in Burundi see it?
The members of the ABUCO organization supported the plan of the Aqua Burundi company for two reasons. It is a plan to open Lake Tanganyika to fishermen who fish there all the time. He is also coming to help the consumers who will not be short of fish while Tanganyika will be dying, according to Noel Nkurunziza, the general secretary of the Burundi Consumers Association. On the contrary, it is an example, and other lakes can be raised from it.
A mosquito should reach many
Gabriel Butoyi, the founder of the association of fishermen and fish sellers in Burundi, believes that Aqua Burundi’s plan is good because it will improve the availability of fish. 20 thousand tons are the ones that will always be available per year even though it will not be enough as he explains. There are many people who need the product, the market is there.
Although the company is working on Lake Cohoha to organize a meeting, an organization of fishermen and fishmongers and to throw ideas to reach the harvest, the mullet comes to many and in many different crops.
The answer
The ranch on Lake Cohoha is one of the most popular fishing spots. Déogratias Nduwayezu, the head of fisheries in the Ministry of Livestock, although he did not give any details, he said that the cage farming, which also includes farmers from Norway, will help.
However, there is no earthquake in the Yaranda area of Kirundo municipality where the lake is located. The head of state gives a short period of time to Regideso organization to install the lights.
Lightning is one of the obstacles in the development of the country. A little over in the municipality of Busoni on Lake Rweru in the same province, they found a lot of land and said that they lacked electricity to grow the land they got and might invest in it. Even where they use learning methods, it is not appropriate, it also requires cutting down a lot of trees. It is the same for various fishing grounds, especially on the shores of Lake Tanganyika.
It is necessary that the projects in the country committed to multiplying and spreading the lights will fulfill their commitments, and the hydropower dams will be completed. Kirundo province has eight lakes, will the province become a national treasure and fishery, in the Tanganyika region?
