Abstract

Modern aquaculture relies on the use of formulated feeds, which can represent 50 to 60% of the total cost of fish production. However, there are no publicly available historical series of fish feed prices, hindering past economic evaluations of production systems and even the forecasting of strategies for the sector. This study deals with the development of a model that calculates feed prices based on the idealized composition of two commercial feeds (32 and 28% crude protein) and the deflated monthly prices of inputs, taxes, and margins of a hypothetical industry. The generated prices are within the dispersion of feed prices found in the literature, indicating that the model is consistent. However, the variation between the prices collected is very large, indicating the need to maintain a constant periodic survey of fish feed price information as a market reference.
