Why would this be the case? 266 -Fish is expensive due to bad weather on the lake -When it's raining fish handling is challenging 1. High prices during low catch periods 2. Lack of money during times when we can't sell fish Bad weather Bad weather Too expensive Bad weather at the lake Bad weather on the lake Bad weather on the lake and the prices becomes expensive Bad weather on the lake hence fish prices goes up because of scarcity of fish Bad weather on the lake hence prices goes up Bad weather on the lake this making fish prices high Bad weather on the lake which makes fish go deep down thus making it hard for fishermen to fish Bad weather on the lake which makes fishing difficult Bad weather on the lake which results in fish not available Because of luck of money Because of the bad weather Blessing season Buying prices are very high due to bad weather on the lake Closed season Closed season Strong winds Closed seasons Rainy reason Due heavy winds and hence liw fish catches During Rainy season fish easily goes bad when it doesn't properly dry due to cloudy weather. During cold season fish is scarce and prices are high hence it's hard to buy fish During cold season fish is scarce and the ordering prices are high making it hard for us to buy the fish During cold season fish is scarce at the landing sites and the prices are too high hence making it hard for us to buy the fish During cold weather there is low catch and prices are high at the landing site During cold weather there is low supply of fish (fish is scarce) from the lake and the prices are high During cold weather there is low supply of fish (fish is scarce) from the lake and the prices are high. The demand is high and some big fish sellers buy all the available fish. During farming season the money is spent on farming activities During rainy season , fish handling is difficult During rainy season handling is difficult During rainy season the lake is dirty and windy on our end and the fishermen don't catch fish as the fish goes to distant places where to there is clean water During rainy season the lake is dirty on our end and the fishermen don't catch fish as the fish goes to distant places where to there is clean water During rainy season the weather is usually bad as the water has waves which prevents fishermen from fishing. Additionally to the water becomes dirty hence the fish moves to far distant places. These reasons contribute to high scarcity of fish and the fish During the rainy season when there's not enough sunshine to dry the fish During the rainy season, fishermen do not have proper fishing materials to withstand bad weather so fish become scarce. In addition, fish easily go bad during the rainy season so people rarely buy During this period farm work demands alot of our time hence very little time is available for fish business During this period, fish are not in season and even if they have the money to buy fish, they cannot because they are out of season During this period, fish supply is low Expensive Expensive due to bad weather on the lake Fish become scarce Fish become scarce and expensive Fish become scarce and expensive during this period because fishers do not fish during the cold season Fish become scarce and lack of money to buy fish Fish become scarce and when available, prices are usually high during this period Fish become scarce during cold weather Fish become scarce during rainy season Fish become scarce during this period Fish become scarce during winter Fish become scarce, lack of money Fish becomes expensive due to low supply Fish becomes scarce Fish becomes scarce and expensive Fish becomes scarce and prices are high due to low supply Fish becomes scarce due to bad weather on the lake Fish becomes scarce during this period Fish is expensive during this times of the year Fish is scarce due to cold weather Fish is unavailable because of low catch due to chilly and windy weather Fish is unavailable due to winds on the lake which prevent fishermen from fishing Fish is unavailable on the waters Fish not available Fish not available Prices too high Fish not available at good prices Fish not available due to heavy rains Fish prices are high Fish prices are too high Fish prices are very high Fish rarely available Fish supply becomes low and prices are raised Fish too expensive due to high demand Fishers do not catch fish due to cold weather as such, fish become scarce Focus shifts to crop farming activities and finances are diverted towards that High Prices High prices High prices Not available I had no money My husband was sick I spend my money at the hospital In cold season fish supply on the landing site is low and the ordering prices are high It is mostly windy on the lake thus makes prices of fish high It is windy and the lake is unsettled this causes the fishermen not to go out and fish It's expensive It's rain season, so it is hard to process fish It's rainy It's rainy and farming season It's rainy and windy It's rainy and windy so fishermen do not go out to the lake to fish It's rainy and windy, fish is in low supply and therefore expensive It's rainy season so handling is difficult It's rainy season, so to avoid loss of fish , we focus on farming It's windy and fish prices goes up Its during rainfall season It's windy and rainy It's windy and this inhibits fishing It's windy on the lake and this makes it unrecommended to fish It's windy on the sea and rainy in February Lack of adequate money to buy fish Lack of money Lack of money due to no profits in business Lake floods and fish catches are low hence prices are high Low catch of fish which affects availability Low supply of fish from fishermen during windy weather Mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence the decline in supply of the fish Mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence the unavailability of fish to buy No fish available No fish available due to heavy winds No money to buy No money to buy fish No money to purchase fish Other buyers bet for a higher price thereby outdoing the local small-scale business women People do not fish during this season due to cold weather Price is too expensive because it's rainy and fish cannot dry properly resulting in lower fish supply on the market Prices are high Prices are high because fish catches are low Prices are high because fish is scarce Prices are too high Prices are very high Prices too high Rain season makes fish availability on the lake scarce Rains Rains and waters coming from rivers which makes the lake waters dirty Rains prevent fishermen from operating hence the unavailability of fish Rains prevent fishermen from operating hence the unavailability of fish to buy and sell Rains prevent fishermen from operating hence unavailability of fish Rains prevent fishermen from operating hence unavailability of fish to buy and sell Rainy season Rainy season afraid of losing the fish Rainy season and windy Rainy season so to avoid loosing the fish Rainy seasons Rainy seasons and windy Seasonality of the fishing season Seasons Sickness Sometimes , we don't get more fish Then we start other business like selling vegetables Sometimes I don't get to have money So I don't buy fish Sometimes I don't have papers to buy fish. I don't have enough money to buy fish. Sometimes I go for farming Sometimes I have no money to buy fish Sometimes I jus want to rest Sometimes I have no money and I fall into credit owing people Sometimes it can be expensive Strong Winds Strong Winds on the lake Strong mwera winds and rains prevent fishermen from operating hence the unavailability of fish to buy Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence low supply and availability of fish Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence low supply and scarcity of fish Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence low supply compared to demand Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence low supply of fish Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence low supply of fish to buy Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence the unavailability of fish Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence the unavailability of fish to buy and sell Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating hence unavailability of fish to buy Strong mwera winds prevent fishermen from operating which reduces quantity of fish available for sale Strong wind on the lake therefore inadequate supply Strong winds in the lake Strong winds on the lake which prevents fishermen from operating thereby reducing availability of fish for sale Strong winds prevent fishermen from operating hence the unavailability of fish to buy and sell Strong winds prevent fishermen from operating hence very low supply of fish to buy and sell Supply becomes low and prices are high Supply of fish becomes low and prices are usually higher Supply of fish is low and prices are too high The availability of fish is low in the water The fish is scarce due to weather conditions. Due to this the prices are higher The fisheries like to close They don't want the fishers to catch fish Hence the ankacha , mbeza ,sitima the ones that catches big fish so they will close on first December. Hence no fish will be caught The focus is to use the money in the fields to produce food The lake is closed and fishing is not allowed The lake is tumultuous The lake is windy The lake is windy and uncalm thereby causing low catch of fish, this makes fish unavailable and high priced The lake is windy so fishermen do not fish The owners of boats are also involved in fish business so when they see that selling prices are high they don't sell fish to the business women but process it themselves for selling. The season change The weather is so bad these months The wind disturbs fishing There is high demand and low supply making the prices too high There is low catch on the lake and this increases buying and selling price so that only those with big capital are able to buy There is no fish in the lake It's rainy season There is too much wind on the lake which makes the fish prices to increase They is a bad weather This is the time of coldness and the weather is not conducive for the fisher men to go fish. This period we focus on both farming and fish trading Those who wants to buy are many because of fish unavailability. So they bid for higher prices, this disadvantages the low scale fish selling women Too many buyers and less fish Too much wind in the lake making the fish scarce and expensive Waters in the lake get dirty because of inlet rivers We buy fish from kids which it doesn't give respect at all. To buy fish from the fishers it requires to have 200000 So with this time we can not afford to buy from them. We concentrate on farming so all our money and efforts are channelled to that We don't have enough money at times Weather changes When I have enough money to buy the fish When expensive When fish is out of season When respondent does not have money When it comes to it's season When it is expensive When there is bad weather When it is windy which can happen any day during any month When prices are high When we doing farming activities Too much wind and no fishermen goes into the lake Wind on the sea Winds Winds and rains Winds and rains on the lake Winds on the lake Winds on the lake therefore high prices Winds prevent fishermen from operating. Supply or fish declines and prices become unaffordable Windy Windy and rainy Windy and rainy so Fishermen do not go fishing Windy on the lake 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish? 40 1 2 3 1 2 3 4 5 1 3 2 2 3 3 3 2 4 5 6 7 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/1 40 266 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/2 40 266 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/3 40 266 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/4 40 266 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/5 40 266 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/6 40 266 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/7 40 266 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.6 How many days per week do you (yourself) eat fish?/Don't eat 40 266 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.5.7 How many days per week does your family eat fish? 306 Five Four Once Seven Six Three Twice 1.5.8 How much fish does your household consume each day?

And we buy freely Availability is what matters so they source from any fisher Availability of cheaper fish Availability of fish Because is my husband and I get at a good price Because it is my husband Because the bolts are few comparing the population of people who sell fish in this village Because the fish is available and cheap Because we don't have the machenism to use for catching fish Better prices Better prices when fish is in season Better prices, fish is readily available Buys as long as price is fair Buys from the ones with best selling price Buys from those who has best prices Buys from those with better prices Cheaper and closeness Children, who are fishermen, assist in bargaining for good prices from their colleagues on my behalf Chooses the one offering lower prices Close Close and affordable Close and affortable Close and readily available Close and supporting family Closeness to the landing site and cheaper ordering prices Closeness to the landing site and cheaper prices Closeness to the landing site and the prices are cheaper Closeness to the landing site hence reducing the sourcing time and prices are cheaper Closeness to the landing site hence reducing the sourcing time and the prices are cheaper Closeness to the landing site hence reducing the sourcing time for fish Closeness to the landing sites and fish is cheaper Closeness to the landing sites and the fish is cheaper Closeness to the landing sites and the prices are cheaper Closeness to the landing sites and the prices are cheaper than in distant places Closeness to the landing sites hence making it easier to access the fish Closer Closer The only commercial fishier Closer Affordable prices Closer and affordable prices Closer and affortable Closer and readily available Closer to home Depending on the prices and quality of fish Depending on who has more fish that day and has good prices Depends on the quality of the fish and The prices Depends on who has better prices Easily accessible and better prices Fair prices Fair prices and quality fish Fairer prices than other places Family member Fish available with the person Fish is available Fish is easily accessible Fish is readily available Fish is sourced from any available source Fish is sourced from the readily aivailable source Fisher is also husband Fisher is brother-in-law Fisher is husband Fisher is husband Readily available Fisher is husband and friends Fisher is the husband Good prices Good prices and support Has the fish available He has quality fish and I buy with no difficulties Husband is a fisherman Close to home I am able to negotiate when buying from close family members I buy at a good price from close family Always reliable when I buy randomly from any fishermen I buy fish at randomly I don't have a friend to buy to I jus go buy my fish for business I buy fish to anyone who is a fisher man I buy from friends inorder to get cheaper prices I buy from my husband at time and other people who catch fish I buy from the ones with best prices I buy from the ones with best selling prices I buy from the ones with best selling prices I also go for quality of the fish I buy from the ones with best selling prices and good quality I buy from the ones with good prices I buy where they is available of fish I choose from the ons witn good quality fish I buy to those with good price I get good discount when I buy from close family members I go for quality fish and best price I jus buy at randomly I jus buy fish from where it is available in the bought I jus buy from them there is no relation I just buy at randomly I just buy fish and no relation I just buy fish at randomly I just buy fish for business as long as I find good quality fish I promote my husband so that we help in the family I randomly buy from anyone because the fisher men sometimes changes the landing site or may be absent I source fish from anybody I want to promote the business of my niece If buying from husband's boss the price is better It depend wether they have what I want to sell It depends on what price they are offering It's availability and the sellers are selling at a good price It's available It's available and close It's available and they are willing to sell It's close It's close and available It's close and fish is available It's close by It's not sustainable to have one client incase he goes to a different landing site It's the closest source. Looks at better prices Looks at lower prices Looks for better prices Looks for lower prices Looks for negotiable prices Most people whom we buy fish from we don't know them We just buy fish for us to sell and doing our own business My son who catch fish N/A No particular reason No relationship with the one who catches fish No specific reason No specific reason apart from good price No specific reason only availability of fish Not related , we just buy Only because seller has the product and is offering better prices Only because they have the fish People who are friends or regular sellers are capable of supplying fish to the respondent on credit (even when she does not have cash) Prices are better Prices are better when fish is sourced from wholesalers Prices are fair Prices are good Quality of the fish and the prices Randomly buy from anyone for sustainability. Because if I stick to one supplier the day he will not have fish I will also have no fish to sell Readily available Readly available Reasonable prices Relatives or friends sometimes gives fish on credit Respondent buys from any fisher as long as they are selling at a good prices Selling prices on the landing sites and quality of fish She buys fish from any fisher because she goes for what is available and of fair price She gets fish from any fisher as long as fish is available and of better price She gets fish from any fisher because availability of fish is what matters She sources fish from any fisher - availability of fish is what matters She sources fish from any fisher as long as it is available She sources from any fisher who offers better prices Sometimes they offer better prices Sometimes we have small capital so these fishermen can sell in small quantities The asking prices are the determining factor to choose to buy from The landingsit is close The prices are usually cheaper and the site is closer to our home The respondent works together with the husband, respondent also buys from any fisher because prices are the same even when the are purchasing from a relative. There are the available and affordable sources There is nowhere else to buy from They allow discount They are close They are reliable They are the ones who have the bolts They are the people who sell me quality usipa They are the primary source of fish They are willing to sell They buy fish from any available source They give me discount I'm able to get the fish and pay half and finish the money after selling They have fish available They have fish to sell They have fish which they are willing to sell They have the fish They have the fish and are willing to sell They have the fish and are willing to sell at a good price They have the fish available They offer better prices They sell nearby They source fish from any fisher who has it. Availability is what matters They source from any fisher as long as they have fish - availability of fish is what matters They source from any fisher because they for anyone who has the fish Usually has fish available We buy fish from fish We buy fish from the fisher men We buy from the ones with best selling prices We buy to the one with good prices The husband also gives me a priority sometimes to be the first to buy from his boat We chose the one with best prices We don't not source fish from family because these people have their wives who dry the fish and they sell to them only. By the end of the day we don't not have fish to buy hence hence we buy at randomly to the fisheries We got for the one who has quality fish and better prices We just buy from anyone who is available We just go and buy fish for business We source fish from these fishers because they give good prices When I buy from close family members, I am able to buy your at good price, I sometimes buy on credit basis and pay after selling the fish When they offer better prices 1.6.6 Are there times when you decide not to buy fish? 301 No Yes 1.6.7 Why would this be the case? 299 1. Just want to rest 2. Lack of money due to losses 1. The fish is not available at the landing site 2. The supply is high on the market hence lower selling prices 1. Tiredness (wanting to rest) 2. Sickness 3. Funerals 1. Tiredness (wanting to rest) 2. Sundays are usually meant for praying so fish is not ordered 1. When there is high catch the prices are low hence we usually make loses 2. Weather conditions. During rainy seasons, the weather can be bad hence alot of fish go bad before it is dry and this leads into loses After a bad selling experience when prices were very low After making loses from the previous trip At times there is demand to work in the farm to produce crops At times we don't buy at the landing site where the prices may be expensive and when we go at the cape we find that the prices are lower hence we don't buy fish. Availability of fish on the market Because I don't have any business that can bring me money I only depend on the fish business Because even when the fish is oit of season or scarce, the respondent uses it as an opportunity to make profit since when supply is low and demand is high, fish fetches better price Respondent relies on fish trading and she therefore buys fish every mo Because fish trading is the only source of income so she tries to buy fish every time Because fish trading is the only source of income, if she does not buy fish, it means she will not have any money for purchasing basic needs Because of lack of money and there is no business at the area Because of the weather Because some fish comes bad and we refuse to buy the fish They don't have quality at times Can not afford to buy at high prices and make a profit Closed season Committed to other household chores Depends on the sales on the market- when the sales are low in volume or the prices are also lower than expected we usually make losses hence we don't go buy more fish Due to tiredness and want to rest During cold season fish is scarce and the ordering prices are high. This in most cases makes us lose a lot of our profits During farming period, the focus goes to the field for a period of 2 to 3 weeks During rainy season During rainy season When prices are too high During the rainy season when there is not enough sunlight to dry the fish During the rainy season, it is hard to access fish During the rainy season, the respondent does not buy fish because they easily go stale During times when she has low capital During winter, fishers do not fish as such, fish become scarce Expensive Expensive and no market at regional market Expensive because of demand Expensive on the land site Expensive on the landsite Farming season and when it's expensive Fish Trading is the full time occupation Fish Trading is the main source of livelihood for the household Fish Trading is the main source of livelihood so can not decide to not buy fish Fish Trading is the source of livelihood of the family Fish become scarce Fish become scarce during winter Fish becomes expensive Fish expensive Fish not available Fish trading is the main source of income Fish trading is the only source of income therefore respondent chooses to buy fish everytime Focus shifts to crop farming activities and finances are diverted towards that High competition hence high prices High demand hence high prices High order prices Weather High prices High prices at the landing site High supply on the market hence low selling prices I don't because I depend on selling fish that's my duty and I can't at any cost just to decide not to buy fish at that particular time I go and do my own business of selling beer I jus want to rest at times by not buying fish I just want to rest I lack money to buy if If fish is out of season in her area, she gets it from any other areas to make sure business still goes on If the business is not doing well and have no capital In cold season fish prices are too expensive due to low supply from the lake and high demand at the landing site It is farming season It's a major source of livelihood for the home. It's a source of livelihood for the household It's a stable source of livelihood for the household It's financial generating activity It's money, she need to make money It's my financial generating activity for my household It's my financial generating activity. It's our way of life and we get our money through it I can't decide not to buy It's the financial generating activity for her house hold It's the main source of livelihood It's the main source of the family's livelihood hence can't stop buying fish for sale It's the source of livelihood so cannot stop the business Jus being tired Just taking a break from the business for no reason Lack of capital Lack of enough money Lack of money Lack of money and high prices Low profit on the market and the capital is small Main source of livelihood No business, short fall of money No capital to buy fish No money to purchase No reason And sometimes we have relish and when it comes to business we say we wont buy because it has become very expensive Not available on the market Expensive On Sunday I go to church so I don't have time to process the fish Only when business capital has been diverted to crop production (i.e. buying inputs and paying for labor) Other engagements like funeral Prices are high Prices are higher Prices become high as such, respondent decides not to buy fish since she will not be able to make a profit Prices too high Prices too high When it's raining Rainy season Lack of money Relies on fish trading Respondent does not buy when she does not have money Selling price is too low She need to continue making money for her household's upkeep Shortage of money Sometimes I get tight programs and to go buy fish Sometimes I just want to rest Sometimes demand is high and when supply is low, fishers prefer to supply fish to their favourite customers Sometimes fish become scarce and prices are usually high Sometimes the fish becomes very expensive Sometimes I don't feel ok in the body so I decide no to buy the fish Sometimes we don't have sun There is a high supply on the market and so selling price is low There is high supply on the market hence lower selling prices There is little to no profits from fish trading because of high supply on the market like what's happening now. They don't buy fish during the rainy season because it easily gets stale They steal from us sometimes This is my financial generating activity, I have to buy, process and sell fish all the time to support my family This is the only way of our survival so we always buy to resale. If some days we don't buy, we use some of the money for other things hence reducing our capital. If today we have MK 5000 and we dont buy fish, tomorrow we are likely to have less money sinc This is their main financial generating activity This what I do most of the time It is my business I can't be home and not go to the landing site to buy fish Time is allocated to farming activities Time is allocated to resting Tired Expensive Poor retail price at the market Tiredness ( wanting to rest) Tiredness (want to rest) Tiredness (wanting to rest) To avoid incurring loses due to market competition when fish is abundant for sale. To divert the finances towards crop production (buying inputs and paying for labour) To focus on crop production To invest in other more profitable businesses To invest in other more profitable businesses at the time than fish trading is not To use the money for other things in the household Too expensive Too expensive and bad weather Too expensive to buy fish like today. Too tired to walk a distance or spend money on transportation Unavailable on the landing site We always have fish and when I decide not to buy which means that time I have relish home to cook. At times when I do not buy it means I am just tired to go and buy fish and that day I just want to rest We just go buy the fish win or lose we just go buy fish and sell We think that some day they will be no fish So I make sure I go buy the fish When I already have some unsold fish I don't buy more fish When I need to rest When the buying prices are very high When I want to rest During farming activities When I want to rest When am making too much losses When am sick When I am busy with other things When business is not making profits Rainy season When business is not working When it's very expensive When business is slow and I still have products to sell When buying prices are expensive When buying prices are too high When buying prices are very high When capital is low When capital is not available When demand of fish is high on the landing site When demand of fish is low When doing farming activities When expensive When fish become expensive, she does not make profit and therefore decides not to buy fish When fish become scarce, prices are raised and one cannot purchase fish with a low capital When fish become scarce, prices are raised and you cannot buy with low capital When fish becomes expensive When fish is in low supply and is probably too expensive When fish is not available When respondent does not have money When fish is out of season When fish is scarce like around May, June and July, the order prices are high hence becomes expensive to order and selling is usually hard When fish prices are very high, they do not make profits When fish prices goes up When it's raining When i don't have money When it is expensive When it is not sunny When it is raining for fear that fish is will go bad because it will not dry When it is too expensive When it's Sunday and she has to go to church When it's expensive When it's too expensive When it's very expensive When its closed seasons When its expensive When money is not available When ordering prices are high When our buying prices are very high When our selling prices goes down When prices are high When prices are high due to scarcity of fish When prices are too high When prices are too high the business is unprofitable When prices are very high When prices are very high for us When prices soar high When pricesal are high When respondent does not have enough capital When respondent does not have money When selling price is too low When she are tired and she just want to rest. When she has low capital When she has no money When she is engaged with other activities When she doesn't have the money to buy When supply is high, she does not make much profit When the business is uncertain. The prices on the landing sites are high and the prices at the market are lower When the buying price is expensive. This requires the selling price to be high in order for them to make profit. So at the market if there is high supply of fish the price is low and this leads to a loss When the capital gets low When the capital gets too low and the fish is being auctioned at a high price on the beach. When the fish is scarce it is usually expensive to order When the money needs to be used for crop production When the money needs to be used for crop production (buying inputs and paying for labour) When the money needs to be used for crop production (i.e to buy inputs and pay for labour) When the money needs to be used for crop production (i.e. buying of farm inputs and labour) When the money needs to be used for crop production activities When the money needs to invested in other more profitable businesses When the price is too high from the buyers so for the fear of realizing no profit she decides to not buy When the prices are high When the prices are very high When the respondent has a low capital, she does not buy fish for marketing When the supply is high on the market it is difficult to make profits as the prices extremely go very low When the wholesale price is high When there is high supply of fish at the market When there is high supply of fish at the market and the selling prices are too cheap such that it is difficult to make profits When there is high supply of fish, this results in low selling prices hence we make loses When there is high supply, so to avoid making loses When there is someone sick When someone dies When the fish is unavailable When there is too much rains When there is too much rains fish handling is difficult When there is too much supply on the market, the selling prices goes down. When there it is raining When they are expensive When selling prices are lower at the markets When they are out of season When they is no business When I don't want to eat fish at that time Which means at the lake , At the site the fish is expensive and I can not met the price that they want 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish? 301 Fish is not available in the market Fish is not available in the market Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high Fish is not available in the market Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Too time consuming to prepare Price is too high Fish is not available in the market Price is too high Fish is not available in the market Price is too high Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Fish is not available in the market Price is too high Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high Fish is not available in the market Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high Too time consuming to prepare Price is too high Price is too high Fish is not available in the market Price is too high Fish is not available in the market Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Price is too high Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume Fish is not available in the market Too time consuming to prepare Fish is not available in the market Price is too high Too time consuming to prepare Price is too high 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish?/Fish is not available in the market 301 5 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish?/Fish is of poor quality/unsafe to consume 301 5 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish?/Too time consuming to prepare 301 5 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.6.8 What are the main barriers you face in buying fish?/Price is too high 301 5 1 No 2 Yes Sysmiss 1.6.9 Do you feel that your access to fish is there when you need it when in season? 301 Certain (always know I can get the fish I need) Usually certain (most days I get the fish I need from the source I want) Very uncertain (I often have to search for fish and end up without fish at least 3 days per week) 1.7.1.1 Did you (singular) participate in these activities in the past 12 months?

They tried drying again nothing happened. I lost everything an I sold at a low price I ate with my kids , I went to lilongwe and on my way we had a breakdown And then the next day the fish got bad and to make it worse the market in Lilongwe they close the market at 9am. So they closed the market It had rotten It was already spoiled before I got it at the landing side It went bad due to cold weather conditions Lack of customers Lack of fridge and ice Lack of labour hence the fish was not well processed Less demand at the market I don't throw , I keep at times More fish We keep them More fish and less demand More people selling usipa at the market N/A No market Not applicable Persistent rains soaked the fish Persistent rains with no time to dry Poor handling technologies Poor processing ie the fish was not well dried Poor transportation Rains disrupted the drying process Rains during drying Rains during sun drying Rains spoiled the fish Rains spoiled the fish when sun drying Rains when drying Rains whilst drying Rains-did not have paper to cover the fish during drying Rainy season Rotten She had many buckets of fish so fish went stale because she had no one to help her with drying Sometimes we keep the fish Spoiled by rained The fish was bought during rainy season The fish was bought during rainy season and drying was difficult The fish was rotten The fish was rotten due to heavy rains The fish was rotten due to heavy rains (Fish got wet) The fish was rotten due to high rains (fish was wet) The fish was rotten due to rains (fish was wet) The fish was rotten due to rains (the fish was wet) The fish was rotten due to the persistent rains hence the fish was not fully dried The fish was rotten due to the rains which had fallen on the fish The fish was rotten in the boat while waiting to access some processing assets like handling basins and tables.

The result may be reduced catch, more competition to buy fish, non-local fishing people in your area etc 304 Increase prices Other Try to buy more fish to avoid shortage Try to process fish to increase preservation 1.8.20 How have these changes impacted on your business? 295 -It changes the type of fish that can be sold -hurry the preservation and processing process As a result of bad weather hence the business is not making more profits At higher prices customers are difficult to find Bulk buying to cut on costs and increase profits Business is profitable Business remains the same Business went down because I have small amount of capital Buy more fish for increased profits Buying Prices have gone high while selling prices are still the same hence profits have reduced Dry weather are windy and as a result it negatively affect the availability of fish Due to lack of money we. behave money Due to low supply on the market, it has increased profits Fish last long Fish last longer Fish last longer without going bad Fish stays longer Fishermen are unable to fish because of winds on the lake, this deceased supply and consequently increases price Get more profits Gets more profits Good Has helped to keep the business going Has increased the fish shelf life hence increasing profits Has kept revenue earnings steady and stable Has kept the business going Has kept the business going. At least reaching break-even point in sales Has not changed Has stabilized business earnings Have increased my revenue at times when fish is rare although not so often Have reduced profits Have reduced the profit margin Haven't changed the way of doing business due to lack of adequate capital Help to increase profits due to increased shelf life Helped to increase profits as was able to sell fish in times when fish was scarce Helped to increase profits because we sell almost at all times Helped to increase the profits Helped to stock more fish and sold for a longer time hence increasing profits Helped to sustain the business since didn't lose the capital due to losses High income High prices when buying but low prices when selling Higher income I get more profits I lose a lot , and no profit It has been hard to take care of my family I loss a lot cause I have so many people to pay on the work that I have assigned them I normally don't go at the market place I jus go and do my business Improved my profits Improved profit especially during times that fish becomes rare Improved profitability Improved profitability during periods of low fish availability Improved quality of the fish and increased fish shelf life Increase income Increase my profits Increase profits because of high selling price on the market due to fish unavailability Increase shelf life hence increasing profits Increased my profits Increased profits Increased profits as the fish was sold during lean period hence the prices were higher Increased profits due to high prices Increased quality and Selling price Increased quality of the fish and shelf life Increased revenue during periods that fish is rare Increased sales Increased the income margin hence boosting my capital Increased the income since was able to sell when fish was scarce Increased the quality and shelf life for the fish hence increasing profits Increased the sales Increases business earnings Increases revenue earnings when fish is in short supply Increases revenue earnings when fish supply at the market is low Increases revenue earnings when fish supply is low Increases revenue when fish is in low supply It has helped to increase shelf life and allows to sell the fish at a high price since fish is not sold in a hurry.
