Dear listers

Gamsem , Gambians for self-employment, a local Gambian apex organisation
for grass-root cooperatives has some fish products for export to the
none market. This product is a very high  quality type of smoked
cat-fish (kunkulengo or kong) prepared at the organisationīs
fish-processing center in Tanji, where a month long training is being
held
for fisher-women groups affiliated to Gamsem. Equipped with solar dryers
and other simple appropriate tech methods, the centerīs products far
surpasses ordinarily smoked fish in taste-appeal, food quality,  and
above
all, hygiene and longevity. Gutted and cleaned thoroughly before being
put
on the oven racks, the fish are firmly preserved from exposure to dust,
flies and other insects. The idea is to steadily out.-compete
traditional
methods of fish-smoking. But to keep this project viable our marketing
assessment has surveyed that we need to export about 20% inorder to be
able to make it viable a the same time accessible to rural folk
especially
during the coming season of toil and hunger. We therefore are appealing
to
G-lers in none countries who may want to import small quantities just
for trial resale to the Gambian and other African communities in USA,
Norway, Switzerland, Middle Eastern countries, Nigeria etc. Please
contact
us directly for further information.
Box 996, Banjul, Gambia, tel/fax 220 373080 and email address as in
above.

Regards
Amie Sabally
Marketing assistant
