{Residents of Nyabitekeri sector in Nyamasheke district say they have a fertile land, get good yields per unit area, but are faced with acute lack of market centers from where they can sell their produce. The old market they used to work from is no longer operating well.}<\/p>\n

Talking to the media, the residents said that they used to sell their food commodities from Nyamitaka market which was mismanaged. They say, local leaders on a number of occasions intermittently closed the market center and clients tended towards ignoring it in the long run. Today, clients go to distant markets, taking them about three hours reach.<\/p>\n

\u201cA pool of sellers attracts a pool of buyers who used to come early in the morning. However the situation has changed since the first seller reaches the market center at 1:00 pm,\u201d said Dunia one of the market vendors.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the past, Congolese would come in Nyamitaka to buy food and other items but they no longer come; instead they go to Mukoma small market,\u201d said another resident.<\/p>\n

The administration of Nyabitekeri sector says that the former market will soon become a big trading center and port. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou have seen that the Nyabitekeri market is located only five meters away from Lake Kivu. We want to make this location a port and relocate the market somewhere else,\u201d said the executive secretary of Nyabitekeri sector, Niyonzima Jaques.<\/p>\n

Residents do complain of traveling long distances that take them three hours to the markets in Bushenge sector or cross the lake heading for Resero market located in Kagano sector.<\/p>\n
