Statistics • Revenues from fish-fillet exports dropped from US$161.6 million in 2004 to US$152.5 million in 2008. • According to a report by Tanzanian authorities on March 28th 2006, 80% of the revenues are from fresh-fillet exports, while 20% are from exporting frozen fillets.
In 2004, the total tonnage of exported Nile perch - popular in the European Union - was 71,000 tons, but they fell to 63,000 tons in 2003. • Why is this? It is because of the damaging methods used for fishing. • Abusing dynamite fishing forms weakened rubble fields within the lake, thus reducing the fish habitat.
The key forces of growth within the short and medium terms came from • private consumption, • exports and gross fixed capital, • tourism revenues, • foreign investments and aid. • The government also intends to direct interventions to ensure that GDP growth is propelled mainly by key sectors • agriculture, manufacturing, tourism, mining and infrastructure.
