Global fishmeal market enters a new bullish phase driven by Peru and China

WORLDWIDE
Monday, July 06, 2026, 00:10 (GMT + 9)

Reduced Peruvian supply availability, tightening inventories and rising raw material costs are pushing international prices to record highs and triggering a new wave of price increases for aquafeed in China.

The international fishmeal market entered July with a fresh acceleration in prices, driven by the combination of increasingly constrained supply from Peru and firm demand in China, where both fishmeal and aquafeed have experienced significant price increases.

On the international market, the CNF reference price for pre-sales of Peru's new season Super Prime fishmeal reached US$3,100 per metric ton, an increase of US$100 per metric ton from previous quotations and a new all-time high for the product. Transactions continue to be negotiated on a case-by-case basis due to extremely limited physical availability and market expectations surrounding the outcome of on-site inspections and assessments in Peru.

The strength of the market coincides with growing concern over the actual pace of production in Peru. Although the first anchovy fishing season in the north-central region maintains an official quota of 1.914 million metric tons, traders and analysts believe that the decisive factor for future supply will be the actual harvesting pace, which remains constrained by the presence of juvenile anchovy and temporary fishing closures. As a result, the market is paying closer attention to daily landings than to the official quota itself.

In China, tightening supply conditions are clearly reflected in the import market. Peruvian Super Prime fishmeal is currently trading between 23,400 and 23,500 yuan per metric ton, equivalent to approximately US$3,275–3,289 per metric ton (exchange rate reference), compared with 13,300 yuan per metric ton (approximately US$1,856 per metric ton) during the same period last year. This represents an increase of 10,200 yuan per metric ton, equivalent to approximately US$1,423 per metric ton, or a year-on-year gain of 76.7%.

Meanwhile, fishmeal inventories at Chinese ports have continued to decline to 153,800 metric tons, while major holders are concentrating their inventories, supported by stronger international prices and expectations that supply will remain tight in the coming weeks.

The tightening raw material market has already begun to impact the aquafeed industry. Effective July 1, several Chinese feed manufacturers announced new price lists with increases ranging from 200 to 1,000 yuan per metric ton, equivalent to approximately US$28–140 per metric ton (exchange rate reference), covering feeds for species including grouper, rock grouper, golden pomfret and other marine fish.

Companies including Zhuhai Hailong, Zhanjiang Haida, and Zhanjiang Yujia announced the increases on June 30, stating that the continued rise in raw material prices has significantly increased production cost pressure, making it necessary to pass part of those costs on to the market.

The current market reflects an increasing risk premium associated with supply availability. Rather than an exceptional surge in demand, the latest price rally is primarily driven by uncertainty over how quickly Peru will be able to convert its authorized anchovy quota into actual fishmeal and fish oil production. As long as this uncertainty persists and Chinese inventories continue to decline, the international market will remain focused on Peru's daily fishing performance, now regarded as the key price driver for the remainder of the third quarter.

ペルーと中国が牽引する世界の魚粉市場、新たな強気局面へ

ペルーの供給制約、在庫の縮小、原料価格の上昇により国際価格は過去最高水準に達し、中国では水産飼料価格の新たな値上げが始まっている。

世界の魚粉市場は7月に入り、新たな価格上昇局面を迎えた。背景には、ペルーからの供給が一段と引き締まる一方、中国市場で魚粉および水産飼料への堅調な需要が続いていることがある。

国際市場では、ペルーの新漁期産スーパープライム魚粉CNF参考価格が1トン当たりUS$3,100に達し、前回水準からUS$100上昇して過去最高値を更新した。現物在庫が極めて限られていることに加え、現地視察・調査結果への市場の関心が高く、価格交渉は個別案件ごとに行われている。

市場の強さは、ペルーにおける実際の生産ペースへの懸念とも一致している。北中部海域の第1次アンチョベータ漁期では公式漁獲枠が191万4,000トンに設定されているものの、市場関係者やアナリストは、今後の供給を左右するのは漁獲枠そのものではなく、稚魚の存在や一時的な操業停止の影響を受ける実際の漁獲速度であるとみている。そのため、市場は公式枠よりも日々の水揚げ動向を重視している。

中国では、この供給逼迫が輸入市場に明確に表れている。ペルー産スーパープライム魚粉は現在1トン当たり23,400~23,500元(為替参考値で約US$3,275~3,289)で取引されており、前年同期の13,300元(約US$1,856)から10,200元(約US$1,423)上昇し、前年比**76.7%**の大幅な値上がりとなっている。

一方、中国主要港の魚粉在庫は15万3,800トンまで減少した。主要保有業者は国際価格の上昇と今後も供給が引き締まるとの見通しを背景に、在庫を積極的に保持している。

原料価格の高騰はすでに水産飼料業界にも波及している。7月1日から、中国の複数の飼料メーカーは1トン当たり200~1,000元(為替参考値で約US$28~140)の値上げを実施し、ハタ類、ロックグルーパー、ゴールデンポンフレット、その他海水魚向け飼料が対象となった。

Zhuhai HailongZhanjiang HaidaZhanjiang Yujiaの各社は6月30日に価格改定を発表し、原料価格の継続的な上昇が製造コストを大幅に押し上げているため、その一部を販売価格へ転嫁せざるを得ないと説明している。

現在の市場は、供給確保に対するリスクプレミアムが拡大している状況を示している。今回の価格上昇は需要の急拡大によるものではなく、ペルーが認可された漁獲枠をどの程度の速度で実際の魚粉・魚油生産へ転換できるかという不確実性が主因となっている。この不透明感が続き、中国の在庫が減少し続ける限り、国際市場は第3四半期を通じてペルーの日々の漁獲状況を最重要指標として注視し続ける見通しである。

秘鲁与中国推动全球鱼粉市场进入新一轮上涨周期

秘鲁供应趋紧、库存持续下降以及原料成本上升,推动国际鱼粉价格创下历史新高,并引发中国水产饲料新一轮涨价。

进入7月份,全球鱼粉市场再次出现价格快速上涨,主要受到秘鲁供应持续收紧以及中国市场需求保持坚挺的共同推动,鱼粉和水产饲料价格均出现明显上涨。

国际市场方面,秘鲁新季Super Prime鱼粉CNF预售参考价格已升至每吨US$3,100,较此前上涨US$100/吨,创下历史新高。由于现货供应极为有限,加之市场高度关注秘鲁现场考察结果,实际成交价格仍以个别协商为主。

市场走强的同时,对秘鲁实际生产进度的担忧也不断增加。尽管秘鲁北中部第一捕季的官方鳀鱼配额维持在191.4万吨,但贸易商和分析人士普遍认为,真正决定未来供应的并非配额本身,而是实际捕捞速度,而这一速度仍受到幼鱼比例较高及临时禁渔措施的影响。因此,市场目前更加关注每日捕捞和卸港进度,而不仅仅是官方配额。

中国市场方面,供应紧张已充分反映在进口鱼粉价格上。目前,秘鲁Super Prime鱼粉报价集中在每吨23,400至23,500元人民币,约合US$3,275–3,289/吨(按汇率折算,仅供参考),相比去年同期的13,300元/吨(约US$1,856/吨)上涨10,200元/吨,约合US$1,423/吨,同比涨幅达到76.7%

与此同时,中国港口鱼粉库存继续下降至15.38万吨。在国际价格持续走强以及市场预期供应仍将偏紧的背景下,主要持货商继续采取惜售策略。

原料价格上涨已经开始向下游水产饲料行业传导。自7月1日起,多家中国饲料企业宣布上调产品价格,涨幅为每吨200至1,000元人民币,约合US$28–140/吨(按汇率折算,仅供参考),涉及石斑鱼、岩斑鱼、金鲳鱼及其他海水鱼饲料产品。

Zhuhai HailongZhanjiang HaidaZhanjiang Yujia等企业于6月30日发布调价通知,表示原料成本持续上涨,大幅增加了生产成本压力,因此不得不将部分成本转嫁至产品价格。

当前市场反映出供应可获得性的风险溢价正在不断扩大。此次价格上涨并非主要由需求激增推动,而是由于市场对于秘鲁能够以多快速度将已批准的鳀鱼捕捞配额转化为实际鱼粉和鱼油产量仍存在较大不确定性。只要这种不确定性持续存在,且中国港口库存继续下降,国际市场将在整个第三季度持续密切关注秘鲁每日捕捞进展,因为这已成为影响全球鱼粉价格走势的核心因素。
