Why FUSHKOV GCG
About the product
Fishmeal is made by cooking, pressing, drying and grinding fish. It is usually produced from sardine, anchovy, mackerel, sardinella, pollock, herring and other industrial fish rich in essential amino acids and high-value protein.
Composition
Fishmeal contains omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA), vitamins A, B, D and E, calcium, phosphorus, iron and iodine. It is highly digestible and rich in soluble protein, trace and macro elements and amino acids (methionine, lysine, tryptophan, threonine). Finished meal contains no more than 10% water and 2% crude fibre.
Applications
Fishmeal is a source of nutrition and energy in animal production (poultry, pigs, cattle, fish and others) and complements plant ingredients in compound feed, such as soybean meal and sunflower meal. It is also used in agriculture as a fertiliser for crops.

Fishmeal types
Global fishmeal market
Peru is the world's largest producer of fishmeal and fish oil: according to IFFO, it accounts on average for about 20% of global output. The raw material is Peruvian anchovy, so supply depends on fishing quotas and weather, including El Niño. IFFO estimates that global fishmeal production rose 26% in 2024 versus 2023, mainly thanks to the recovery of the Peruvian fishery.
For buyers of bulk fishmeal this means marked seasonality and price volatility, so long-term contracts and diversified origins (Peru, Mauritania, Morocco, Russia) help stabilise supply.
How a deal works
Delivery terms: an Incoterms 2020 primer
The delivery basis sets the point where risk passes from seller to buyer and who pays for main carriage and insurance. These are the rules most often discussed in commodity contracts:
- FCA (Free Carrier) — risk passes when the goods are handed to the carrier at the agreed place; the buyer pays for main carriage. Suitable for any mode of transport.
- FOB (Free On Board) — risk passes once the goods are on board the vessel at the port of shipment; the buyer pays freight and insurance.
- CFR (Cost and Freight) — the seller pays freight to the port of destination, but risk passes on loading at the port of shipment.
- CIF (Cost, Insurance and Freight) — as CFR, plus the seller arranges minimum marine cargo insurance.
- DAP (Delivered at Place) — the seller bears risk and cost up to the named destination and delivers the goods ready for unloading; the buyer handles import clearance.
FOB and CIF apply to sea and inland waterway transport only, CFR to sea freight. The delivery basis for each deal is agreed in the contract.
Storage and transport
Under GOST 2116-2000, fishmeal travels in covered wagons, ship holds and tarpaulin-covered trucks, and is stored in ventilated warehouses protected from sun, heat and moisture. The recommended shelf life is up to 12 months for meal with fat below 14%. Fishmeal stabilised with an antioxidant ships by sea as Class 9 cargo (UN 2216 «Fish meal, stabilized»), unstabilised meal as Division 4.2 cargo. Cargo temperature is monitored in transit.
Frequently asked questions
Where do you source fishmeal from?
From Peru, Mauritania, Morocco and Russia.
What packaging and minimum volume do you offer?
25 kg and 50 kg bags or big bags. Minimum order, lot size and packaging are agreed to suit your request.
Why is fishmeal stabilised with an antioxidant?
The fat in fishmeal oxidises and releases heat, which can lead to self-heating of the lot. An antioxidant slows the process; stabilised meal ships as Class 9 cargo (UN 2216).
What is the protein content of fishmeal?
GOST 2116-2000 sets a minimum of 50.0% crude protein for fish meal. The fishmeal supplied by FUSHKOV GCG contains over 70% protein.
What does DAP mean?
Under DAP (Delivered at Place) the seller bears risk and cost up to the agreed destination and delivers the goods ready for unloading; the buyer arranges unloading and import clearance.
