# Fishmeal Update - China - Benison Media

> China produces about 400,000 metric tons of fishmeal a year, down from a 2012 peak of 1.24 million, and output is expected to keep falling. China imported about 1.46 million tons last year and will need more imports to hold supply. Stricter fisheries management is cutting coastal catch limits and pushing many producers out of the sector.
