# Fishing sector expanded in September after four months of declines

> Peru's fishing sector grew 2.84% year-on-year in September 2026, according to INEI, driven by higher extraction of marine species for human consumption. Anchovy catch for fishmeal and fish oil reached 935 tonnes, compared with no extraction in September 2025.

## Why it matters

The rebound is small and the anchovy catch remains tiny, so fishmeal supply from Peru stays constrained despite the El Niño pressure. Tight Peruvian fishmeal output supports prices for fishmeal used in feed.
