# Marine ingredients production – World Fishing

> IFFO estimates global fishmeal output in 2021 at 2.443 million tonnes, up from 2.359 million in 2020, with Peru, Chile and India increasing output. Fish oil production fell almost 6% to about 546,000 tonnes, and China's fishmeal imports may again hit record levels in 2022.

## Why it matters

Stronger fishmeal supply is offset by record Chinese import demand and falling fish oil output, leaving fishmeal reasonably supplied while fish oil tightens.
