    World Bank Group recommends approving use of rendered animal proteins in Moroccan aquafeed

> A World Bank Group diagnostic report recommends that Morocco allow controlled use of rendered animal proteins in aquafeed. The report notes that current restrictions push producers toward fishmeal and imported soybean meal. Feed makes up 50-75% of marine aquaculture operating costs.

## Why it matters

If Morocco adopts the change, demand for fishmeal and soybean meal in its aquaculture sector could slow over time. This is a recommendation only, so the price effect is small and long-term.
