The U.S. Soybean Export Council (USSEC) sponsored and participated in the 9^th International Aquaculture Forum 2014 (FIACUI 2014), held November 5-7 in Guadalajara, Mexico. USSEC’s Americas office, which is funded by FMD and MAP, facilitated this forum. USSEC also invested $5000 of checkoff funds in this event. USSEC’s participation helped establish and increase relationships with aquaculture industry representatives, promoted the use of U.S. soybean products in aquaculture, and established key contacts for trade and technical servicing with this industry. The event drew representatives from the business sector, research centers, universities and the Mexican state of Jalisco’s Ministry of Rural Development. An international conferences program was included to provide producers with information to help them optimize their processes, packaging and marketing of seafood products. FIACUI 2014 also co-hosted the Latin American and Caribbean Aquaculture meeting (LACQUA 2014), a scientific conference organized by the World Aquaculture Society (WAS). Business meetings took place between aquaculturists, fishermen and potential buyers, with the aim of expanding their marketing channels. In the upcoming year, the Mexican aquaculture industry will produce nearly 120,000 metric tons (MT) of seafood and will use more than 70,000 MT of soybean meal from the U.S. This market has good potential for continued growth in the next several years, mainly with tilapia.
