    Fishmeal and fish oil production remains high

> IFFO data show cumulative fishmeal production through March 2025 rose about 29% year over year, and fish oil output rose 34%, mainly driven by Peru. China's fishing bans began May 1, and farm-gate prices for high fishmeal-need species exceed year-ago levels.

## Why it matters

Stronger Peruvian supply eases fishmeal tightness, but Chinese fishing bans and expected aquaculture and piglet demand support prices until the August-September season. Net effect is mixed for fishmeal pricing.
