Abstract: (french)
Cette étude a permis d’analyser la commercialisation et la consommation des captures issues du lac de Songori dans la Région du Gontougo. Pour ce faire, une enquête a été menée auprès des 8 mareyeurs exerçant sur ce barrage et de 101 consommateurs choisis de façon aléatoire de juin à août 2014. Les résultats montrent que l’activité commerciale est pratiquée par des nationaux qui n’ont aucune formation en gestion commerciale. Le transport et le commerce du poisson se réalisent dans un environnement qui manque totalement d’hygiène avec des moyens rudimentaires pour la conservation. Cependant, avec Oreochromis niloticus comme espèce économiquement plus importante, les mareyeuses réalisent un chiffre d’affaires supérieur ou égal à 50% par rapport aux pêcheurs. La population riveraine, quant à elle, ne bénéficie presque pas des prises réalisées, la plus grande partie des productions (75% à 100%) étant vendue en milieu urbain. Ainsi, les consommateurs irréguliers (46,5%) demeurent les plus nombreux. Face à cette situation, les autorités coutumières devraient véritablement s’impliquer dans la gestion de ce plan d’eau pour permettre aux riverains d’en bénéficier et lutter contre l’insécurité alimentaire en milieu rural. Le développement de cette activité semble logiquement incontournable pour contribuer à relever le défi de l’autosuffisance en protéines animales au niveau local.
