NASHVILLE, TENN. (RFD NEWS) — The U.S. Wheat Associates is highlighting early success in a new and growing export channel: fish feed.
The organization says South America has become a “pioneer market” for wheat-based aquaculture feed products, with additional opportunity building in Southeast Asia as global fish production continues to expand.
Officials say demand is being driven by the growing aquaculture sector worldwide, which increasingly relies on wheat-based ingredients as a cost-effective feed component.
As exporters refine which wheat varieties perform best in aquaculture applications, U.S. Wheat Associates says those findings could open the door to broader adoption in additional international markets.
Industry leaders also point to Ecuador’s shrimp sector as a potential breakout opportunity for U.S. wheat, given the country’s strong and expanding aquaculture industry.
The group says that expanding into alternative demand channels, such as fish feed, could provide long-term market stability and new export growth for American wheat producers.
