Australian researchers, who have developed a
lupin-based fish feed being exported to Japan, Norway and Thailand, predict
enormous growth in demand over the next decade. WA farmers, who produce much of
the world’s lupins, were best placed to capitalise on demand.
The new pellet, developed under the Aquaculture Feed Grains Program, is made of up to one-quarter lupin flour and while it contains fishmeal, the amount is less than half that of a traditional feed pellet.
The world’s biggest lupin dehulling plant opened in Forrestfield last year as a joint venture between bulk grain handler CBH and food giant George Weston Foods, with the aquaculture industry expected to be a key market.
