Corbion says that it “aims to contribute meaningful solutions to the challenges facing global aquaculture, particularly through innovations like its algae-based omega-3 feed ingredient [AlgaPrime] that supports resilient supply chains”.
“Aquaculture is key to ensuring global food security, and we strongly believe its development should be guided by sustainability principles. At Corbion, we work to promote preservation across the board in food, food production, health, and the planet. As our AlgaPrime DHA – the world’s leading source of algae-derived omega-3 – continues to grow in shrimp farming, joining SSP is both a logical and exciting step for us. By joining SSP, we help build a more proactive and conscientious industry while reaffirming our commitment to the aquaculture industry that advances through collaboration, innovation, and respect," said Corbion’s Lenaïg Richard in a press release.
Meanwhile, SSP’s director Pamela Nath, added: “Having Corbion’s support enriches our reach and strengthens our ability to promote better practices. We are pleased to welcome them and are confident that this alliance will generate a positive and lasting impact. At SSP, we work to continuously raise the standards of shrimp farming and move towards a more sustainable and successful model. This goal is possible thanks to the support of our associate members, organizations that offer innovative solutions enabling us to identify new opportunities to improve the sustainable performance of shrimp.”
SSP members strive to generate and promote the highest quality Ecuadorian shrimp, produced under the strictest social and environmental standards, through increased collaboration and transparency. Corbion looks forward to actively participating in SSP initiatives, offering science-backed insights and sustainable solutions to help drive continuous improvement in shrimp production and support the long-term success of the sector.
