    IFFO: Fishmeal and fish oil output remains weak

> IFFO reports that global fishmeal and fish oil output remains weak in 2026 because El Niño is reducing raw material availability in Peru and Chile. Lower supply in Northern Europe and parts of Asia adds to the shortfall. Chinese aquafeed demand is holding up relatively well.
