ASA/WISHH Ships 25 MT of Soybean Meal to Pakistan

Feb 21, 2013

ASA’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (WISHH) program shipped 25 metric tons of U.S. hi-pro soybean meal to Pakistan this month. The soybean meal will be utilized in the production of floating fish feed by Pakistani company Oryza Organics. WISHH is partnering with Oryza Organics as part of the three-year FEEDing Pakistan program funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

WISHH and Oryza have worked together to purchase a U.S.-manufactured extruder that will arrive in Pakistan in March. The high protein floating feed that Oryza will produce with U.S. soybean meal will be the first produced locally in Pakistan. The floating feed has the capacity to greatly impact the aquaculture industry in Pakistan.
