Why Indonesian-Origin Fish Meal 60% Is Gaining Global Demand

• Introduction to Fish Meal 60% and Its Applications

Fish meal 60% is a concentrated source of high-quality protein widely used in aquafeed, poultry, and livestock feed. Derived from small fish species, this product ensures essential amino acids, fatty acids, and digestibility critical for animal growth.

The growing aquaculture industry, especially in Asia-Pacific and Latin America, has driven the demand for marine-based protein. The 60% protein grade is ideal for economical yet nutritionally balanced feed production.

According to Journal Life Cycle Inventories, 2023, marine ingredients like fish meal remain essential in early-stage aquaculture nutrition due to their high digestibility.

• Indonesia’s Advantage in Fish Meal Production

Indonesia's geographic advantage, with vast coastal waters, enables year-round supply of marine biomass for fish meal production. As one of the world’s top maritime nations, Indonesia can sustainably source raw fish at scale.

Local processing plants located near fish landing sites ensure freshness and quality. The proximity to shipping ports in Surabaya, Medan, and Bitung streamlines the export process and shortens lead times for international buyers.

Indonesia is currently among the top five exporters of fish meal in Southeast Asia, particularly serving growing markets in Vietnam, China, and Latin America.

• Quality and Specifications of Indonesian Fish Meal 60%

Fish meal 60% from Indonesia typically meets global quality benchmarks:

• Protein Content: Minimum 60%

• Moisture: <10%

• Fat: 10-12%

• Ash: <20%

• TVBN: <150 mg/100g

Suppliers, including Feed Ingridients Asia, offer quality products that comply with international safety and sanitation standards, including HACCP, ISO 22000, and Halal certification for certain markets.

This ensures consistency in nutrition profile and suitability for multiple feed applications — especially starter feed for shrimp, tilapia, and broilers.

• Sustainability and Regulatory Assurance

Sustainability has become a core purchasing requirement. Indonesian fish meal producers are increasingly adopting traceability systems that confirm responsible fish sourcing.

Indonesia's Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) monitors fishery quotas, and facilities that supply international markets must adhere to the FAO’s Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries.

Buyers benefit from compliance with:

• IFFO RS standards (Responsible Supply)

• EU and FDA regulatory alignment

• Low peroxide values and mycotoxin control

This positions Indonesian fish meal as both reliable and responsible — a key differentiator in today's ESG-conscious markets.

Indonesia’s integrated cold chain and shipping networks ensure freshness and efficiency in export. Tradeasia and similar global suppliers leverage:

• Bulk shipping via container or bag-in-bag options
