Combining local ingredients<br />
with new skills to create<br />
business opportunities<br />
for women<br />
Most households in the small coastal<br />
community of Beacou, Bobonaro<br />
municipality, earn their living from the sea.<br />
Men go out fishing by boat, while women<br />
look for fish, crabs and seaweed at low tide,<br />
and some days make salt. Some families<br />
also have other livelihoods, such as growing<br />
vegetables and farming animals.<br />
Fishing in Beacou occurs in most months<br />
of the year, but the type of fish caught<br />
depends on the season. Sardines are most<br />
abundant in the wet season, when turbid<br />
water from the Loes River extends far out to<br />
sea. Schools of fish come to the river plume<br />
to feed and hide from larger fish, then leave<br />
in the dry season when the river water flows<br />
clear again. Fishers from Beacou travel<br />
around 10 kilometres in their motorised<br />
outrigger canoes to catch sardines near the<br />
river. A good catch can fill the whole canoe.<br />
Back on shore, sardines are sold to waiting<br />
traders who sell the fresh fish at roadside<br />
stalls, or take them to markets in Dili or<br />
inland Maliana and Ermera – but some fish<br />
are always kept aside and taken home for<br />
family and neighbours.<br />
A few years ago, women in Beacou learnt<br />
how to make two new food products from<br />
mostly local ingredients: bottled sardines<br />
in olive oil; and a nutritious fish powder.<br />
