Market Coverage and Reports

With its members accounting for 50% of global production and approximately 80% of annual global trade, IFFO continues to have access to an unparalleled network of data providers. This translates into the assembly of unique market intelligence on marine ingredients, circulated through reports and presentations to members and key stakeholders. In 2025, IFFO released a record 282 market reports, addressed more than 200 market-related inquiries, and contributed to the work of numerous international industry gatherings with analyses on animal feed and marine ingredients. Covering 90 countries give the most comprehensive source of statistics on the production of fishmeal and oil, consumption, prices, competing proteins and oils, as well as information about land animals, farmed fish production, and feed production. IFFO also maintains its commitment to delivering more than 90 interactive infographics that explore key trends in both the supply and demand of marine ingredients. The IFFO markets team continues to collaborate with intergovernmental organizations such as the UN’s FAO and the OECD, supporting them in their understanding of the aquafeed and marine ingredients development.

China

The IFFO China team supports members with China's Ministry of Agriculture (MARA) import license applications, a service which costs 75% lower than from other service providers. The team also continues to coordinate with the General Administration of Customs China (GACC) and relevant Embassies in Beijing on China market access issues for IFFO members, with 3 updates of GACC-approved establishment lists. In-depth data on the China market is also produced and included in IFFO’s market reports, along with a monthly China Outlook report. Focus reports are also produced, such as a China farming species report on the White Leg Shrimp industry in China. As well as a monthly newsletter, the team engages with a wide range of stakeholders in China on various platforms, most notably WeChat, Bilibili, the RED, and Weibo. Posts focus on IFFO's published articles and also vodcast videos, which have proved very popular.

Member Committees

IFFO members can engage directly on projects and join informal discussions through committees: the Communications Network group and the technical and regulatory network (TaRN).

Mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH)

In 2025, we continued work on mineral oil hydrocarbons (MOH) with the analytical laboratory sector to improve reliability of the analysis methods.

International Maritime Organisation (IMO) bulk shipping (IMSBC) maritime dangerous goods (IMDG) codes

IFFO completed the work on the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) bulk shipping (IMSBC) maritime dangerous goods codes. The changes are voluntary from 1st January 2026 and mandatory from 1st January 2027. This means that the types of antioxidants and minimum residual levels are now the same on both codes, and we now have the new option of a non-dangerous goods code which is open for use of any type of antioxidant at any level so long as evidence is provided demonstrating it has no self-heating potential.

Microplastic Origins and Uptake

IFFO’s multi-partner project investigating microplastics in fishmeal and oil progressed with samples collected, animal trials and analyses was completed in 2025 and awaits peer review in 2026. Fish trials completed in 2022 both showed negligible to no uptake by the fed animals or impacts on their health.
