Fishmeal supply developments
Another story high in June's traffic rankings was the piece about the IFFO welcoming Peru’s decision to cancel the critical first anchovy fishing season.
Peru's ministry of production announced it was cancelling the first fishing season for anchovy in the north-central zone. The ministry’s decision came after its officials had analyzed the recommendations of the Peruvian Sea Institute, Imarpe, following on from an exploratory fishing exercise.
The move sent fishmeal prices in China soaring.
