    New temporary suspension of anchovy fishing in Peru

> Peru suspended anchovy fishing for 15 days, from May 27 to June 10, 2026, to protect juvenile fish. The move follows an IMARPE recommendation tied to warm ocean conditions linked to El Niño.

## Why it matters

A further suspension cuts fishmeal output during the season and can extend the supply shortfall. Tighter fishmeal supply supports protein prices and may increase demand for soymeal.
