Joining the programme, Cargill Canada became the first ASC certified feed company in Canada. Their feed mill, operating out of Surrey, British Columbia, produces feed for a variety of species, including trout, salmon, seabass, seabream and meagre, seriola, cobia and tilapia. Cargill Canada’s ASC feed certification is a key step forward for the company as it supplies its feed to farms across North America and the Pacific Rim.
Mowi Feed has also achieved ASC feed certification for both its facilities in Scotland and Norway. Operating out of Kyleakin on the east coast of the Isle of Skye, Scotland, and Valsneset in central-western Norway, respectively, their state-of-the-art feed mills produce feed for salmon. Both ASC feed certifications for Mowi Feed reflect further progress for salmon farming in the UK and Norway.
There are now 16 certified units in the ASC Feed programme, comprising 22 individual certified feed mill sites, across numerous countries including Canada, Chile, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Norway, Thailand, Vietnam and the UK, displaying the strong global uptake of the ASC feed certification programme.
A diverse mix of multinational and regional companies have achieved ASC Feed certification, showing that complying with its robust requirements is accessible and achievable. With numerous further feed companies in the initial audit phase, 2025 is already shaping up to be another strong year of ASC Feed Certification uptake.
