Fishmeal (Peruvian Anchoveta, High-Protein)

TASA (Tecnológica de Alimentos SA; Lima Peru; privately held; owned by Breca Group, a major Peruvian conglomerate) is Peru's largest fishmeal and fish oil producer — accounting for approximately 25-30% of Peru's total fishmeal output and ~10-12% of global fishmeal supply. TASA operates a fleet of ~100+ industrial fishing vessels (cerqueros) targeting anchoveta (Engraulis ringens) in the Humboldt Current, and runs 11 reduction plants along Peru's Pacific coast from Paita in the north to Ilo in the south. TASA is vertically integrated: vessel fleet → coastal reduction plants → fishmeal/fish oil export. TASA's fishmeal is certified by MarinTrust (formerly IFFO RS) for responsible sourcing and supplies global aquaculture feed compounders (Cargill, Skretting, BioMar) as well as premium pet food manufacturers. The company also operates salmon farming in Chile through its sister company.
