However, with increasing health consciousness and the convenience of online services, the market is poised for growth.
Customer preferences: Consumers in Senegal are increasingly seeking fresh seafood options that are sustainably sourced and locally caught. This trend is driven by a growing awareness of the environmental impact of large-scale fishing operations and a desire to support local fishermen. Additionally, health-conscious consumers are gravitating towards seafood due to its high protein and omega-3 content.
