# Marine ingredients supply hit hard by loss of Peruvian anchovies

> IFFO data show cumulative fishmeal production down about 28% in the first eight months of 2023 compared with 2022. Peru's 70% year-on-year decline, after El Niño cancelled its first anchovy season in June, is the main cause. Fish oil output was down 24%, with Chile the exception.
