With concerns regarding over-fishing in the Caprivi Region, the search for improvements in the fishery sector may lie in closer examination of the post-harvest sector. Opportunities need to be sought that emphasise maximising the benefits obtained from fish already caught. Improving the efficiency of post-harvest handling, processing and marketing can significantly improve the livelihoods of producers and traders. This paper describes the post-harvest marketing and distribution systems of fish on the eastern floodplains of the Caprivi region. A number of possible intervention points in the post-harvest chain are suggested, described and potential strengths and weaknesses of these interventions identified.
