# Peruvian anchovy fishing quota signals rebound for omega-3 industry

> Peru's first 2024 anchovy season began April 16 with a 2.475 million ton quota, a rebound from low 2023 quotas. Low quotas last year, largely caused by El Niño, pushed up omega-3 oil costs, with Peruvian refined fish oil export unit values rising from about $5.83 to $11.12 per kg across 2023. IFFO data showed February 2024 fish oil output down 13% year on year.

## Why it matters

A larger anchovy quota should bring more fishmeal and fish oil into the market, easing the supply tightness that drove prices up. Feed buyers should expect fishmeal costs to come under pressure if catches match the quota.
