This move aligns with Cargill's commitment to sustainability and reducing reliance on traditional fish meal and fish oil in aquaculture feeds.

The demand for carp is driven by several factors. Carp dominates the commercial fish feed market due to its significant role in global aquaculture and its adaptability to various environments and feed types. Carp species, such as common carp, grass carp, and silver carp, are widely farmed in freshwater systems across Asia, Europe, and North America, thanks to their high growth rates and resilience. This widespread cultivation generates substantial demand for specialized carp feed, which drives market growth. Additionally, carp farming benefits from relatively low production costs and high feed conversion efficiency, making it a popular choice among aqua culturists.

The demand for soybean is influenced by multiple factors. Soybean is a dominant segment in the commercial fish feed market due to its high protein content, availability, and cost-effectiveness. Soybean meal is a rich source of essential amino acids required for optimal fish growth and development, making it a preferred ingredient in aquaculture feeds. Its protein content, generally around 44-48%, offers a high nutritional value that supports efficient feed conversion and overall fish health. Additionally, soybean is widely cultivated and relatively inexpensive compared to other protein sources, which helps reduce feed costs. The versatility of soybean meal allows it to be used in various feed formulations, from low to high-protein diets, catering to different species of fish.
