Peruvian super steam-dried fishmeal spot prices rose to a record 26,200-26,500 yuan/tonne this week, while national port fishmeal inventories fell to 106,500 tonnes, below 110,000 tonnes. Peru's first anchoveta season is expected to be restricted by El Niño, and a short exploratory anchovy fishing season opened October 24 but has yielded little catch.
Expected restrictions on Peru's anchoveta catch and falling port stocks point to a tight fishmeal balance into 2027, supporting higher fishmeal prices and costlier protein for feed mills.
