Africa's richest country Fishermen earn millions of dollars, revealing Africa's potential

The Gabonese Republic, adjacent to the Congo and Equatorial Guinea, is located on the coast of the center of Africa, with a land area of 260,000 square kilometers and a total population of about 1.8 million. By 2016, the city's GDP per capita was on par with China's, and it was among the richest in Africa.

Many people may be surprised by the words of African fishermen, but the port of Cataltown in Gabon is the liveliest place, where fishermen make two trips a day and earn more than a hundred dollars a day.

It is worth mentioning that the fishing in Gabon is oversized, and the nets used are all oversized, so the seafood here is always very expensive and only the wealthy can afford it.

Lyle goes to sea at least twice a day, using his small motorized boat, and the large fish over 80 centimeters are prepared for tourists, and the rest are intercepted and then packed up and taken away.

Lyle's two older sisters run smoked grilled fish in the bazaar and sell it because of their skill and taste, which is loved by travelers from all over the world.

Many people will say, if there is such a high pay, why don't other people go to sea to fish? Because there are many eddies and reefs off the coast of Gabon, at least hundreds of people die here a year, and those who can still fish with peace of mind are old fishermen.

Lyle's wife stays at home to take care of her son, and her daily necessities are imported from France, so she spends a lot of money. Until 2016, the total amount of the two countries exceeded 2 billion US dollars, and then gradually slowed down, which is why the people of Gabon are very friendly to China.

Despite its high GDP per capita, education in Gabon is poor, and most cities do not even have kindergartens, so children play on their own. However, compared to African countries, it is much cleaner, with perfect infrastructure and good security, which is the most suitable place in Africa to experience African culture.
