The Southeast region is rich in seafood and freshwater fish, but small-scale fishermen struggle to find trade flows to ship their products. All seafood exports are located in the Southeast region and are of the highest quality. This is where you'll find the best-quality lobster, which is one of Réunion's top exports.
This area is also rich in shrimp and prawns...
The lobster harvest reached 40 tons this year, but Mr. Rafamatanantsoa Tombovelo Sylvestre, head of the regional department of fisheries and fish farming for the southeast, said that few collectors take this product. The products are sold at low prices on the local market when there are no collectors, he explained.
The installation of infrastructure to cool their products solves the fishermen's problem, said Mr. Rafamantantsoa Tombovelo Sylvestre, head of the South-East Department of Fisheries and Fish Farming. The government is already installing infrastructure in the southeast. There is also support in collaboration with the private sector.
