BioMar’s Ecuador site has achieved Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) Feed certification – a significant milestone in ensuring more responsible production of feed. The ASC Feed Certification helps Ecuadorian shrimp farms meet the growing demand for responsibly sourced seafood.
Located in Guayaquil, BioMar’s facility is dedicated to producing high-quality shrimp feed. Achieving ASC Feed certification is a key part of BioMar’s broader strategy of sustainable innovation and strengthens their role as a trusted provider of ASC compliant feed. Ecuadorian shrimp farmers wanting to use ASC as a competitive edge in global markets are now able to obtain ASC compliant feed from BioMar.
‘Our goal is to provide shrimp farmers with the tools they need to succeed in a rapidly evolving industry. With this certification, our customers can be confident that they are using feed that meets the highest global standards for sustainability, helping them to secure their position in a fast-growing market,’ said Henrik Aarestrup, BioMar Group’s VP for Latin America, Shrimp & Hatchery.
‘This certification goes beyond meeting a standard. It’s part of our broader commitment to supporting the entire shrimp aquaculture value chain. By investing in innovation, sustainability, and collaboration, we aim to help farmers achieve long-term success while ensuring that seafood production is ethical, transparent, and sustainable.’
