Foodstuffs: The new government's first major decision for fishing

Senegal's new government, led by Prime Minister Ahmadou Al Aminou Lo but with the meeting chaired by his chief of staff and Fisheries Minister Amy Mara Dièye, has postponed the allocation of new fishing licenses in coastal demersal fisheries. The decision follows a four-hour meeting with industry stakeholders (GAIPES, UNMS, UNAPAS, CLPA) and relies on CRODT data showing a residual stock of only 2,950 tons and overexploitation of several species. This cautious move aims to preserve fishery resources critical for food security for millions of Senegalese.

Women traders lose out as EAC border trade rules remain unclear

The East African Business Council (EABC) is urging Tanzania and Burundi to publish a clear list of commonly traded goods under the EAC Simplified Trade Regime (STR), arguing that the lack of clarity is limiting cross-border trade and denying women and youth traders vital economic opportunities. During a public-private dialogue at the Kobero-Kabanga One Stop Border Post, EABC Trade and Policy Advisor Adrian Raphael Njau said limited awareness of trade procedures restricts small-scale traders from benefiting from the EAC Common Market. Bilateral trade between Tanzania and Burundi is estimated at over $62 million annually.
