# Fishmeal price rose 35% since July, and the EU paid 28.7% more for its imports

> The World Bank's monthly series put fishmeal at $2,840 per tonne in October 2026, 35% above July, after peaking at $2,916 in September. Eurostat data show the EU paid an average of 1,848 euros per tonne for non-EU fishmeal in the first eight months of 2026, 28.7% more than a year earlier. Peru's Production Ministry then announced it would not authorize a second anchoveta fishing season in 2026, a decision linked to El Niño and very low anchoveta biomass.

## Why it matters

Peru is the main supplier of fishmeal imported by the EU, so a cancelled second anchoveta season tightens global protein supply for feed mills and keeps fishmeal prices elevated. Buyers should expect firm pricing and possible substitution toward soybean meal.
