CPF aquafeed mill in Chonburi, Thailand, gets ASC certification

 

 

Charoen Pokphand Foods Public Company Limited's (CPF) Ban Bueng aquafeed mill in Chonburi Province, Thailand, has received the ASC Feed Standard certification from the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).

 

This achievement marks a significant milestone in elevating Thailand's shrimp supply chain to internationally recognized sustainability standards.

 

Stephan François L. Morilés, managing director of Control Union (Thailand), the ASC-approved conformity assessment body, noted that the ASC Feed Standard is globally respected for its rigor, transparency, and emphasis on environmental and social responsibility.

 

"This certification reflects CPF's strong commitment to advancing Thailand's shrimp industry along a sustainable pathway, strengthening traceability across the entire supply chain from origin to final product," he said.

 

Pairoj Apiruknusit, head of Integrated Aquaculture Business (Thailand) of CPF, emphasised that responsible practices across the shrimp value chain are vital to the company's sustainability strategy.

 

"CPF is committed to sourcing sustainable raw materials, upholding good labour and community practices, and ensuring transparent and fully traceable production processes," he said.

 

"Achieving ASC Feed certification is another important milestone in enhancing the competitiveness of Thailand's shrimp industry and reinforcing confidence among global markets."

 

Apiruknusit added that CPF continues to integrate technology and innovation throughout the shrimp production system, from feed sourcing to farming and processing.

 

"ASC Feed raises the bar for responsible feed production. It reinforces consumer trust and further strengthens Thailand's position in the global shrimp market," he said.

 

CPF's Ban Bueng aquafeed mill also implements a wide range of environmental initiatives designed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

 

CPF's shrimp supply chain is already certified under the Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) 4-Star standard, covering feed mills, hatcheries, farms, and processing plants. The company also sources fishmeal from internationally certified and legally compliant suppliers, while promoting responsible and ethical labor practices across the supply chain.
