Second-hand Market, Lumo
📖 Tanji's market scene, particularly the bustling Tanji Fish Market, offers a unique opportunity for resellers focusing on fresh and processed seafood. Here, the daily catch from colorful pirogues provides a constant supply of diverse fish, from sardines to barracuda, which are then sorted, sold, or traditionally smoked and dried. Resellers can find opportunities in both the fresh retail sales and the smoked fish, which is a staple in the Gambian diet and also exported. An insider tip for resellers is to arrive early to witness the unloading of the boats and secure the best selection, as the market is most active in the early morning.
