Description of Services

Kipumbwi village, located in Pangani District of Tanga Region, is one of Tanzania’s most active small-scale fisheries hubs, particularly for sardines and other small pelagic species. The village hosts the busiest fish landing site in the district, serving as a strategic entry and exit point for marine products to and from the Zanzibar Archipelago. Despite its productivity, Kipumbwi faces significant challenges in post-harvest handling, value addition, and environmental management. These losses stem from poor handling, inadequate storage, weather exposure, and gendered constraints in access to resources. In this context, the proposed feasibility study and detailed design of a sardine and small pelagic fish processing plant aim to:

• Reduce post-harvest losses and improve product quality.

• Enhance income generation and employment, especially for women and youth.

• Promote climate-resilient infrastructure and eco-friendly technologies.

• Align with Tanzania’s Blue Economy strategy and international sustainabilityframeworks.
