    Introduction: last year, the world produced 1417000 tons of fish oil, including 593000 tons in Peru, 172000 tons in Chile, 135000 tons in Denmark and 108000 tons in the United States This year, the world's fish oil production has been greatly reduced The main producing country Peru's fish production has dropped to 9.5 million tons, and the fish size is small The oil content has dropped from 6% to 4%, and the fish oil production is only 380000 tons Chile's export has also been greatly reduced due to the increase of domestic demand The Pacific cod production has also been greatly reduced, and Japan's production has been reduced by 44%, resulting in the increase of the price of eel oil On the other hand, due to the large amount of fish oil used as margarine and aquatic feed oil, the consumption of fish oil in Europe has increased due to BSE in recent years In addition, the supply of fish oil for salmon breeding in Norway and Chile and the expansion feed oil in China have increased significantly The price of Peru's crude oil has risen from $200 per ton to $500 In December, Peru's minnow will be lifted from the ban, but it is predicted that there will be another El Nino phenomenon at the end of the year Next year, the production of fish meal and oil is likely to be significantly reduced, leading to countries ordering fish oil in Peru And domestic suppliers in Peru also hope to make up for the loss caused by the low price of fish oil last year by raising the price The price of crude oil rose 150%, and the price of fish oil for feed in Japan, China and other countries was forced to rise Because fish oil plays an important role in eel quality, eel producers who are suffering from low eel prices can only pray that oil prices do not rise too much (author:) share to feed Weibo share to:
