ADM has inaugurated a new early nutrition aqua feed facility in Tianjin, China, marking the company's second hatchery feed plant globally. The plant carries an annual design capacity of approximately 5,000 tonnes and produces particle sizes ranging from 50 microns to 3 mm, targeting fish and shrimp at early life stages.
A study by Nofima, NMBU and Mowi Genetics finds that selectively breeding Atlantic salmon for lower body fat could significantly improve feed efficiency, with calculations suggesting potential annual savings of around USD 121 million for the Norwegian salmon industry.
Global fishmeal production dropped 49% year on year in the first seven months of 2026 as El Niño-linked warm waters and juvenile fish disrupted Peru's anchoveta season, with fish oil output also falling 30%. IFFO says Asian fishing activity in Q4 may partially offset the South American shortfall.
ADM has inaugurated a new early-nutrition aquafeed production facility in Tianjin, China, targeting hatchery and nursery stages for fish and shrimp. The plant — ADM's second globally dedicated to this segment after its Belgium site — has an annual design capacity of approximately 5,000 metric tons and will serve customers across the Asia-Pacific region.

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.
Global fishmeal production fell 49 percent year on year in the first seven months of 2026, while fish oil output dropped 30 percent, as El Niño continued to suppress catches in Peru and Chile. IFFO's market research director said Asian producers could partially offset the shortfall in the final quarter, but demand headwinds in China's aquaculture and pig sectors are adding further pressure.
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.
Olam Agri has moved into ruminant nutrition with the launch of its Tru Value cattle feed range in Nigeria, expanding its Integrated Feed & Protein business beyond poultry and aquaculture. The three-product line — covering beef and dairy categories — was unveiled at an event in Kaduna State attended by Nigeria's Minister of Livestock Development and a broad range of industry stakeholders.
