ASA’s World Initiative for Soy in Human Health (WISHH) program’s shipment of 25 metric tons of U.S. hi-pro soybean meal has arrived in Pakistan. The soybean meal will be utilized by local WISHH partner Oryza Organics in the production of floating fish feed as part of the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-funded "FEEDing Pakistan" program.
The feed produced by Oryza will be the first of its kind produced locally in Pakistan. A recent USDA Global Agriculture Information Network report highlighted the projected increase in aquaculture production in Pakistan, which is estimated to increase the demand for soybean meal from 42,000 tons to 260,000 tons.
