World Fishmeal
will be ebout the same or slightly under
the 280,000 tons of 1973. In contrast
to the poor results for Peru, South
Africa last year saw its fishmeal produc
tion rise 14 percent owing to the ap
pearance of abundant anchovies. This
allowed the country to capitalize on
rising prices resulting from the decline
in Peru’s anchovy catch.
South African exports in 1974 will
also be at about the 1973 level. These
are currently forecast at 175.000 tons,
which will include exports from pro
duction on factory ships.
Chilean fishmeal output, because it is
also influenced by the Humboldt cur
rent, parallels that of Peru. After fall
ing to a 13-year low of 73,000 tons last
year, it has recouped some in 1974 to
a projected 120,000 tons. Further re
covery to 200,000 tons is seen for 1975.
However, this would still be consider
ably below the record 263,000 tons
that were produced in 1971,
The larger output will allow Chilean
exports to increase to a projected 80,000
tons in 1974 and 100,000 in 1975. In
1973, such shipments fell to 50,000 tons
—the lowest level since the early 1960’5.
Fishmeal production in Denmark this
year is estimated at or slightly above
the 270,000 tons produced in 1973—a
level that will probably also be main
tained into 1975. Beyond that, however,
the country will be caught up in prob
lems involving the limited catch provi
sions that already have begun to affect
Norwegian production.
Fishmeal exports from Denmark in
1974 are expected to be slightly above
the 211,000 tons shipped m 1973.
Iceland produced about 100,000 tons
of fishmeal m 1973 and will probably
do as well or slightly better this year
and next. One recent development m
the Iceland* fishmeal industry has been' ,
the diversion of some capelin from
processing for-fishmeal into production
of frozen fish for human consumption
in Japan. As much as 40,000 tons of
capelin could be sent to the Japanese
market in 1974—0 r more than double
the 1972 and 1973 levels and 10 times
the tonnage shipped in 1971. Lack of
freezing capacity in Iceland is appar
ently the only major factor limiting
trade, and some sources believe that
once this is overcome exports could
grow to around 200,000 tons.

Exports of fishmeal from Iceland
this year and next will probably be at
around 100,000 metric tons. This would
be above shipments in recent years but
below record levels reached in the mid
-1960’5.
Countries other than the six major
producer-exporters may have a com
bined fishmeal output of about 2.1 mil
lion tons in 1974—up about 4 percent
from the 1973 level. Another slight
increase is seen for 1975.
Japan and the USSR are leaders
among these producers—both outpro
duced Peru last year—but neither ex
port much, and Japan is actually a net
importer. The United Slates produced
316,000 tons of fishmeal in 1973 and
will likely do as well this year and next;
in most years, however, this output has
had to be supplemented by imports.
Other important producers are Angola,
the United Kingdom, West Germany,
and Canada.
Fish oil. Production of fish oil in
1974 will recover even more sharply
than that of fishmeal, rising some 28
percent to an estimated 1 million met
ric tons As with fishmeal, the Peruvian
shortfall was the prime contributor to
an unusually small harvest in 1973
the lowest since 1965.
For this commodity, there are five
leading world producer-exporters, in
cluding Peru, Norway, the United
States, South Africa, and Iceland.
These countries accounted for 54 per
cent of total world output in 1973 and
will probably provide about two-thirds
in 1974 now that Peru is back in the
picture at more normal levels.
World exports of fish oil are also
seen rebounding 28 percent from 1973
to around 550,000 tons. They may
climb a further 100,000 tons in 1975
to about equal shipments in recent nor
mal years. The major producer-export
ers are expected to ship 430,000 tons
in 1974 and 525,000 in 1975.
Peruvian production in 1974 will
recoup sufficiently to regain the No 1
position, which the country lost in 1973
as output plummeted to 40,000 tons —
lower even than any annual output in
the 1960’s If the favorable yields of
oil obtained during the spring fishing
season continue, Peru’s output this year
could reach 300,000 tons and then
climb further to 340,000 in 1975.

A* a result, fish oil exports from Peru
•re forecast to reach 150,000 tons in
1974 and 230,000 next year. In the
last decade, such exports have ranged
from a peak of 323,000 tons in 1968
to almost zero last year.
As with fishmeal, Norway will be
affected by the lower quotas for capelin,
which are seen depressing fish oil pro
duction in 1974 to about 160,000 tons,
compared with 185,000 in 1973. In
1975, a slight increase could take place.
Norwegian exports in 1974 will prob
ably drop to about 110,000 tons from
the 123,000 of 1973, but next year they
are expected to rebound to the 1973
level. However, these will be only about
half the record shipments of 1967.
Fish oil production has been increas
ing in the United States after reaching a
low of 54,000 metric tons in 1967.
Output in 1973 exceeded 100,000 tons,
and this year it will probably reach
120,000. Prqduction in 1975 should at
least equal this year’s.
U.S. exports of the oil appear to be
on a 100,000-ton plateau for this year
and next, following a near-record ship
ment of 108,000 tons in 1973.
South African fish oil production in
1974 is estimated at 72,000 tons, un
changed from 1973. Next year, produc
tion could be slightly higher. The coun
try’s exports in 1974 will probably abou*
Care of Leather-
Covered Furniture
If you have a table or desk
with a leather top, the best
care you can give the leather
is to leave it alone as long as
you can, except for dusting
with a soft, clean untreated
cloth. In time, the leather
may become dull. Then,
Mrs. Helen Puskar, Ex
tension home furnishings
specialist at The Penn
sylvania State University,
recommends waxing it with
a good, hard wax or leather
treatment. Never use liquid
furniture wax on leather or
you will ruin it.

which is well below the record 106,000
tons of 1968.
ICELANDIC PRODUCTION of fish oil is
recovering after reaching a low of
11,01)0 tohs in 1971. It is currently
running at around 30,000 tons—still
only one-fourth of the peak output of
1966. About all of this is being ex
ported, and shipments are expected to
total 30,000 tons this year and next —
also off sharply from the peak levels of
the mid-1960’5.
Fish oil production in other countries
will probably run somewhat lower in
1974 than for 1973. However, this
could be modified if in some cases
recent higher prices make it more
attractive to produce the oil rather than
buy it on the world market.
These other countries —mainly Den
mark, Angola, and Japan —will export
about 120,000 tons of fish oil in 1974,
down from 132,000 last year. Next
year’s shipments should be up slightly.
The leading importer of fish oil is
the Uhited Kingdom, which in 1973
bought 207,000 tons. West Germany
is the second largest importer, with
117,000 tons in 1973; however, that
was the lowest volume since 1967,
when less than 100,000 tons were
imported.
