Key Takeaway
Peruvian Fishmeal (65% Protein) prices (CIF) increased from US$ 1,328/MT in October 2024 to US$ 2,951/MT in September 2026, a gain of 122.2%. Prices declined to a low of US$ 1,279/MT in November 2024 before recovering through the remainder of the period, with a particularly strong increase during December 2025–January 2026. The trend indicates a strong upward movement in the quoted benchmark.
- Peruvian fishmeal prices are strongly influenced by anchoveta availability, fishing quotas, seasonal fishing bans, and the performance of fishing seasons along Peru's coastline. Ocean temperature changes, particularly El Niño-related conditions, can affect fish distribution, biomass, and catch volumes, influencing fishmeal production and export availability.
- Demand from aquaculture and livestock feed manufacturers, especially in major Asian markets, also plays a significant role. Fishmeal inventories, protein quality, competition from soybean meal and other feed ingredients, processing costs, and international freight rates further affect CIF prices.
