The price of fish meal is soaring in the world

Introduction: World Fisheries Information Network, Feb 11 news: the price of fish meal in the international market has soared Many people think that the price is going crazy at present According to Joe zorrilla, foreign trade manager of pesquera, the current international price of fish meal is soaring, and the FOB price of the best quality fish meal is between $650 and $660 per ton The price rise is due to Peru's extended ban on anchovy, coupled with poor fishing in the fourth quarter of last year, and continued strong demand for fish meal from overseas buyers Producers believe that by the end of March, when the fishing season starts again, anchovy catch will improve, which is expected to account for 90% of the raw materials in the processing plant However, zorrilla thinks the outlook is still bleak, especially the recent catches of mackerel and mackerel, which are used to make fish meal, have been very small In the fourth quarter of last year, anchovies began to disperse because of the expected cooling of the ocean Fishmeal manufacturers are beginning to find it hard because they have been expecting 2.5 million tons of fish In addition, because the fishing ban for spawning period will last until the end of next month, coupled with the ban in mid January and the low resources, these fishmeal manufacturers may not be able to fulfill the delivery contracts after the expiration of the ban period, which currently total nearly 100000 tons However, some producers said that the increase in the price of fish meal is a good thing, but also admitted that if the increase is too much, it will backfire Because it forces buyers to buy other alternatives, such as soy meal, to replace fish meal But for those super fish meal, the situation is different, because the protein content of super high quality fish meal reaches 68%, contains histone 500, the protein content of high quality fish meal reaches 68%, histone 1000 The above two kinds of fish meal are used for feed of salmon, eel, turtle and shrimp Chile, another major producer of fish meal and fish oil in South America, sells a limited stock of super quality fish meal at a time of high prices But compared with 2000, Chile's fish meal and oil production decreased by 7.2% and 15% respectively last year.
