# Successful Peruvian anchovy season wraps up, with uncertain fishmeal markets waiting

> Peru's first anchovy season has been described as a success, with the catch closing out for the year. Fishmeal markets are seen as uncertain going into the second half. Rebounding pig herds in China after African swine fever may influence demand later in the year.
