CP Foods receives Global GAP certification for livestock feed businesses in Thailand

 

 

 

Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited (CP Foods) announced that its Pak Thong Chai and Sriracha, Thailand feed mills have received the Global Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) certification from Control Union (Thailand).

 

CP Foods is the first organisation in Thailand to achieve the certification, underscoring its world-class production processes and management standards in quality, feed safety, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) aspects, the company said.

 

Rewat Hathaisattayapong, Head of Feed Business at CP Foods, said: "CP Foods is committed to producing food with the highest safety standards, starting from the production of safe animal feed. By adopting internationally recognised standards, we have built confidence in our quality, safety, and ESG practices. This commitment has led to the successful certification of our two feed production plants, Pak Thong Chai and Sriracha, making us the first in Thailand to receive the Global GAP certification. We hope to serve as a model for CP Foods' other feed production plants and those of other companies."

 

"Receiving the Global GAP certification is a collective success for CP Foods' management and all employees who have collaborated to produce livestock feed that meets international safety standards and is fully traceable," Hathaisattayapong added. "Our dedication to environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and good governance propels CP Foods towards sustainability and strengthens our position in the global market. Simultaneously, we aim to share our knowledge and success stories through various channels to elevate Thailand's food safety standards."

 

Stephan Moreels, managing director of Control Union (Thailand), said: "CP Foods' certification under the Global GAP Compound Feed Manufacturing (CFM) version 3.1 section C (ESG) emphasises sustainable energy and environmental practices, fair working conditions, respect for labor rights, and engagement with local communities. As a partner who has worked closely with CP Foods to promote this standard, we recognise the hard work and vision that have led the company to success. Despite facing challenges, CP Foods has transformed obstacles into opportunities, and this dedication truly exemplifies the company's identity and leadership."

 

"Global GAP is a long-standing sustainability standard recognised internationally," Moreels added. "CP Foods' journey is truly impressive. The company consistently practices quality and safe animal feed production, along with a commitment to sustainability in all aspects. I commend the team behind this success; their collaboration, innovation, and dedication to their goals have genuinely made a positive impact on Thailand's animal feed production industry."

 

The Global GAP standard focuses on prevention and control at every step of production — from selecting high-quality, safe raw materials to utilising modern technology and ensuring traceability. This guarantees that animal feed produced at CP Foods' factories is safe and of the highest quality before being delivered to livestock farms and customers, ensuring the safety of animal feed and livestock product consumers. Today, both partners and consumers place significant importance on ESG, aligning with CP Foods' ongoing commitment to operating under the ESG framework.

 

CP Foods initiated the ISO 9001 quality standard system in animal feed production in 2000 and has continuously worked to elevate feed standard systems to comply with government regulations and the requirements of trading partner countries, ultimately resulting in safe food for consumers, the company said.
