A new 14,000-square-metre bulk storage and handling facility has opened at Berth 43 at the Port of Tilbury, built for grain and animal feed trader Cefetra. The facility can hold up to 65,000 tonnes of imported animal feed products including soyabean meal and is designed to streamline vessel discharge operations serving the South and East of England.
Global fishmeal production dropped 49% year on year in the first seven months of 2026 as El Niño-linked warm waters and juvenile fish disrupted Peru's anchoveta season, with fish oil output also falling 30%. IFFO says Asian fishing activity in Q4 may partially offset the South American shortfall.
NRGene Canada and Ile-a-la-Crosse Fish Company Inc. have completed a semi-industrial trial in Saskatoon, Canada, demonstrating that black soldier fly larvae raised on fish-processing by-products accumulate the marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA. The partners are now planning an on-site BSF rearing facility in Ile-a-la-Crosse, Saskatchewan, following the hub-and-spoke model supported by the FairGene neonate supply joint venture.
ADM has inaugurated a new early-nutrition aquafeed production facility in Tianjin, China, targeting hatchery and nursery stages for fish and shrimp. The plant — ADM's second globally dedicated to this segment after its Belgium site — has an annual design capacity of approximately 5,000 metric tons and will serve customers across the Asia-Pacific region.
IFFO – The Marine Ingredients Organization reports that fishmeal production in the first seven months of 2026 is down 49 percent year-on-year, while fish oil output has fallen 30 percent, with declines driven primarily by Peru and Chile and compounded by softer catches in Africa and Northern Europe.
NRGene Canada has successfully reared black soldier fly larvae containing marine omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA by feeding the insects on fish-processing by-products from Ile-a-la-Crosse Fish Company, with the trial validated at semi-industrial scale in Saskatoon. The partners are now planning an on-site rearing facility in Saskatchewan.
ADM has inaugurated a new early nutrition aquafeed production facility in Tianjin, China, its second site globally dedicated to hatchery and nursery feeds after its Belgium plant. With an annual design capacity of approximately 5,000 metric tons, the facility aims to serve fish and shrimp producers in China and across the Asia Pacific region.
The Ukrainian government has adopted a resolution establishing standardised, transparent pricing methodologies for laboratory services and registration dossier evaluations in the feed sector, with the Ministry of Agrarian Policy stating the move will create predictable costs for businesses.
ADM has inaugurated a new 5,000-metric-ton early nutrition aquafeed facility in Tianjin, China, its second globally dedicated to hatchery and nursery feeds for fish and shrimp. The plant is intended to serve customers in China and across the Asia-Pacific region, connecting ADM's APAC R&D resources with local production.
The European Feed Manufacturers Federation (FEFAC) has projected a soybean meal supply gap of at least 5 million tonnes in the EU for the 2026-27 marketing year, driven by drought, Black Sea trade disruptions, and sourcing constraints tied to the EU Deforestation Regulation. The federation estimates the combined cost impact on the EU feed and livestock sector could reach approximately EUR 1.4 billion and has called on EU institutions to act urgently to protect feed security.
Dutch compound feed group ForFarmers has signed an agreement to acquire 100% of the shares of STW SA, a Polish animal feed producer with annual capacity of 270,000 tonnes, through its Polish subsidiary Tasomix. The deal, which excludes STW's logistics and poultry farming operations, is subject to Polish competition authority approval and is expected to close in early 2027.
Strong soybean meal exports from Argentina — close to 3 million tonnes in August 2026 — driven by sustained buying from the EU, Vietnam, Türkiye and Indonesia, are keeping Argentine crushing margins attractive and supporting global soybean demand. FOB soybean prices in Ukraine, the US and China remained broadly flat in euro terms in mid-September, while emerging weather risks in Brazil's Mato Grosso introduce potential upside price risk later in the 2026/27 season.
