Feed mills in Norway, Japan, Ecuador, the UK, Australia, Canada, Chile, Vietnam, Spain, Italy, Honduras and Costa Rica have all joined the ranks of ASC-certified producers – signaling a shift in the aquaculture sector towards more sustainable and socially responsible practices.
This wave of certifications marks a continuing shift in the aquaculture industry. ASC certified feed producers are more directly addressing the environmental and social impacts embedded in their supply chains – from the responsible sourcing of ingredients like soy and fishmeal, to ensuring fair labour practices.
“By choosing ASC Feed Certification and meeting the rigorous environmental and social requirements of the ASC Feed Standard, these feed companies are making real change and driving full-chain responsibility. We congratulate all recently certified feed mills on their achievements and look forward to seeing the positive impact they have on the industry,’’ said Aisla Jones, feed engagement and UK markets manager at ASC, in a press release.
Feed mills certified January to mid-July 2025:
- Skretting – Canada, Spain, Norway, Japan, Italy, Australia
- Cargill – Norway, Chile, the UK (Scotland), Ecuador
- BioMar – Costa Rica, Norway
- Salmones Antártica Feed – Chile
- Nosan – Japan
- Grobest – Vietnam
- Nutreco – Vietnam
- CP Vietnam Corporation – Vietnam
- Vitapro - Honduras
With these latest additions, a total of 35 feed mills across 14 countries have now achieved ASC Feed certification.
“This marks another important step in our mission of transforming the industry. We recognise there is still progress to be made, and we remain focused on driving it forward,” added Jones.
ASC certified farms have until 31 October to ensure they are using ASC conforming feed from feed mills that are certified against the ASC Feed Standard. The use of ASC conforming feed is necessary for ASC certified farms to meet the ASC Farm Standard and retain their certification.
