1. Introduction

There a few positions in the food industry which combine working with governments, civil society and the private sector at both national and international level.

The marine ingredients industry is evolving to face the challenges of increased

competition against a backdrop of demand exceeding supply – as the only

global association representing the largest companies involved in the sector,

IFFO provides essential information to and support for its members.

The Director General of IFFO plays a vital role in ensuring IFFO members

receive services that are relevant and good value but also reflect the challenges

and opportunities of the wider industry outside IFFO membership. The

Director General draws on the experience and expertise of a multi-national

board of directors but must also provide guidance and leadership and be an

advocate for the industry.

A challenging role but one where the right individual can influence the

direction and future of this important sector.

Eduardo Goycoolea President


2. IFFO The Marine Ingredients Organisation

IFFO is an international trade organisation that represents and promotes the marine ingredients industry, such as fishmeal, fish oil and other related industries.

Marine ingredients are nutritious products used mainly for aquafeed, land

animal feed as well as for human consumption and are derived from marine

organisms such as fish, krill, shellfish and algae. IFFO’s members reside in

more than 50 countries, account for over 50% of world production and 75% of

the fishmeal and fish oil traded worldwide. IFFO is an accredited Observer to

the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO).

Although our core products are fish meal and fish oil, we are cognizant of

similar emerging products from the marine environment and consider

these to be relevant to our scope. Our members are producers as well as

traders, feed companies, edible oil refiners, retailers, financial institutions,

governmental and non-governmental organisations.

IFFO was formed in 2001, but has a collective history of 50 years, encompassing

the activities of its predecessors, namely the Fishmeal Exporters’ Organisation

(FEO), International Association of Fish Meal Manufacturers (IAFMM) and

International Fishmeal and Oil Manufacturers’ Association (IFOMA). In 2012,

IFFO changed its name from IFFO The Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organisation to

IFFO The Marine Ingredients Organisation.

IFFO is a respected, constructive and proactive partner representing members

to raise standards of responsibility and nutrition in the global marine

ingredients industry.


3. IFFO’s History

IFFO was first incorporated as the International Association of Fish Meal Manufacturers (IAFMM) in 1959, bringing together a number of smaller organisations formed during the 1950’s.

IAFMM was re-incorporated as the International Fishmeal and Oil

Manufacturers Association (IFOMA) and merged with an associate group, the

Fishmeal Exporters Organisation (FEO) in 2001 to form IFFO.

Over the years, the organisation has seen many changes with the emergence

of the aquaculture industry providing a huge demand for both fishmeal and

fish oil. The role of IFFO and its predecessors was at one time to commission

scientific research into applications for fishmeal and fish oil but, in recent

years, has changed to provide market research and other services to members

but still on a not-for-profit basis, funded by membership subscription.

Another aspect that has not changed is that IFFO is primarily a producer

organisation, created and controlled by fishmeal and fish oil manufacturers.

In 2012, the board reviewed the name of the organisation following a

modernisation of the industry, the emergence of new added value derivatives

of fishmeal and fish oil and a wish to move away from the previous bulk

commodity image of the sector. The name IFFO was retained to reflect the

continuing core of fishmeal and fish oil producers but was supported by a

sub text “The Marine Ingredients Organisation” to reflect the wider diversity

of its membership and new product categories. This name change was

accompanied with a new logo and full rebrand, introducing a fresher design.

IFFO will continue to reflect the industry’s changing priorities and where

necessary offer strategic leadership on key issues. This means forging closer

relationships with partners further down the value chain, including food

processors, retailers and pharmaceutical companies, as well as with specialist

organisations, such as other trade associations and even NGOs which share

similar aims. In summary we intend to build on the first 50 years by serving

our members to meet the challenges of the future.
