ADM has inaugurated a new 5,000-metric-ton early nutrition aquafeed facility in Tianjin, China, its second globally dedicated to hatchery and nursery feeds for fish and shrimp. The plant is intended to serve customers in China and across the Asia-Pacific region, connecting ADM's APAC R&D resources with local production.
A new IndexBox market report projects the global multi-enzyme complexes for aquafeed market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.5–9.0%, with the baseline scenario estimate at 8.2%, between 2026 and 2035. Growth is fuelled by rising aquaculture output, pressure to reduce feed costs, and a shift toward customised enzyme blends. Asia-Pacific holds an estimated 55% share of demand, while Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa are identified as the fastest-growing regions.
US poultry by-product meal prices climbed close to all-time highs in early September 2026, rising 18.7% in a month as constrained global fishmeal availability pushed aquafeed formulators toward alternative proteins. Both IFFO and the FAO flagged continued tightness in fishmeal markets, driven by lower fishing quotas in South America and sustained aquaculture demand in China.
