Economically, Kigoma-Ujiji is characterized by fishing, informal trade, small-scale agriculture, and light industries. Fishing in Lake Tanganyika, particularly artisanal catch of endemic species like dagaa and migebuka, contributes roughly 30 percent of the local economy and provides employment opportunities for youth and women in processing and marketing.

About 75 percent of residents depend on informal trade, supported by markets such as Kigoma, Mwanga, Buzebazeba, and several satellite trading centers.

In recent years, the Council has initiated infrastructure upgrades—ongoing road paving under the national Kukuza Miji program, construction of modern marketplaces like Mwanga and Katonga, and drainage works to control erosion—reflecting efforts to improve public services and urban resilience.
