"Real change in the aquaculture industry can only happen when every actor in the value chain comes together. From producers to suppliers, it’s essential to embrace sustainability at every stage to ensure long-term impact. The involvement of leading companies like Adisseo, Biolan and Cargill brings us closer to achieving that vision,” stated Pamela Nath, director of SSP.
The collaboration between SSP and these new members will harness their expertise, innovation, and resources to promote sustainable shrimp farming practices. This initiative is part of SSP’s broader goal to build transparency, accountability, inclusion and progessive leadership across the entire value chain, encouraging participation from suppliers, producers, retailers, academic institutions and NGOs to improve the global aquaculture industry.
Lucas Assis, innovation project manager of Adisseo, explains: "By joining SSP, Adisseo strengthens its leadership in sustainable shrimp production, driving collaborative innovation and sharing best practices with industry peers. This partnership provides access to valuable insights and resources, enhances networking opportunities, and underscores Adisseo’s commitment to advancing sustainability in the strategically important LATAM region."
Asier Albizu, CEO of Biolan, shared the company’s perspective: “Biolan decided to join the SSP because it shares SSP’s mission of transforming shrimp aquaculture into a clean, sustainable, and successful practice for the world. Biolan’s goal is to work closely with the sector to create robust synergies that facilitate continuous improvement, focusing on traceability, sustainability, and digitalisation in production processes to position Ecuadorian aquaculture internationally as a sustainable and renowned industry.”
Dave Robb, Cargill’s aqua nutrition group sustainability lead, emphasised Cargill’s shared vision with SSP: “Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Cargill. Partnerships like this strengthen our ability to reshape the shrimp industry at scale; fostering transparency, improving environmental practices, and collaborating as an industry to set new standards for responsible production.”
The three new members join a group of companies that already support SSP’s mission, including BASF, BioMar, dsm-firmenich, Houdek-Prairie AquaTech, Inve Aquaculture, Nicovita, MSD Animal Health and Skretting.
