Chile’s Single Cell Protein market is advancing primarily through its thriving aquaculture industry, which is seeking sustainable alternatives to fishmeal. As one of the world’s leading exporters of farmed salmon, Chile has a growing need for high-protein, cost-effective feed solutions. SCP is emerging as a viable option, and several research institutions and aquafeed companies are conducting pilot projects to evaluate its nutritional performance. The use of food processing and marine waste as SCP feedstock also aligns with Chile’s environmental conservation efforts and circular economy goals.
While food-grade SCP remains largely unexplored, growing investment in sustainable feed technologies and favorable governmental policies supporting innovation in agriculture and aquaculture provide a strong foundation. The key challenges include scaling up production economically and securing clear regulatory pathways for SCP approval. However, as consumer and industry awareness about sustainability grows, Chile is expected to become an early adopter of SCP in aquafeed, potentially influencing adoption across other LATAM countries.
