Nothing much to report on fishmeal this week as most of the major players have been in Miami for the latest IFFO meetings – not even any updated Peru fishmeal reports this week. There have been a couple of short fishing bans in the south of Peru but, as with the catch, this is quite insignificant at present.
The USDA issued their updated EU28 info on fishmeal this week, as part of their oilseed, oil meals report. They forecast total EU28 fishmeal production at about 460,000 m/t, unchanged for the past couple of years with imports up just a little to 300,000 m/t and exports steady at 210,000 m/t. Germany and Denmark are the EU28 main import markets while Denmark is the largest producer of fishmeal in the EU 28.
