Through a multi-site certification process, BioMar Chile has achieved a major milestone by securing ASC certification for feed production at its sites in Castro, Pargua, and Ercilla, which are dedicated to producing feeds for Atlantic salmon, Coho salmon and trout.
Achieving ASC Feed certification represents a significant step forward for BioMar’s responsibility strategy, and reinforces the company’s goal to be a reliable supplier committed to responsibility, innovation, and collaboration within the aquaculture industry.
“Our goal is to provide salmon farmers with feed that maximises their productivity and commercial success. With this certification, our customers can be confident they are using feed that meets the highest global sustainability standards, helping them to strengthen their position in an evolving market,” said Cristian Dominik, quality and formulation manager at BioMar Chile, in a press release.
“For us, this certification goes beyond simply meeting a standard. It’s part of our commitment to the entire salmon farming value chain. By investing in innovation, responsibility, and collaboration, we aim to help producers achieve long-term success while ensuring seafood production remains ethical, transparent, and sustainable,” Dominik added.
The availability of ASC certified feeds to producers across Latin America may help to secure their position in the global market, where accountability and traceability are of utmost importance.
"Congratulations to BioMar Chile on achieving ASC Feed certification across three production sites. By meeting ASC's standards, BioMar Chile supports positive change and provides assurance and trust to supply chains. This certification offers Chilean salmon farmers local access to ASC-compliant feed, essential as we approach the 31st October 2025 deadline for certified farms to secure ASC-compliant feed,” concluded Aisla Jones, feed engagement manager at ASC.
