# The downward trend in fishmeal and fish oil production continued in 2026

> IFFO data shows the downward trend in fishmeal and fish oil output continued into early 2026, with Peruvian production below last year's levels. Peru accounts for roughly 20% of world fishmeal and fish oil production, so its shortfall matters for global supply.

## Why it matters

A continued decline in Peruvian output tightens global fishmeal supply and supports higher prices. Buyers should expect firm fishmeal costs until Peru's season ramps up.
