Fish feed company first in Central America to get BAP nod

Feed company Cargill has been the first ever to get feed mills certified in Central America under the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA)’s Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) certification program.

The company received BAP certification for two mills, one in Honduras and the other in Nicaragua. Companies insisting on BAP certification can now source from both mills.

“With BAP certification, Cargill is not only consolidating its leading position in Central America but also, and most importantly, creating the capability to offer BAP feed for shrimp from its plant in Honduras and Nicaragua and BAP feed for tilapia from its plant in Honduras,” Cargill said in a statement. “By including these feeds in their portfolio, they are supporting customers to comply with world-class quality requirements so they can also satisfy their demanding customers that they ship to domestic, regionally and overseas.”

The only other BAP-certified feed mills in Central or South America are located in Chile.
