C.P. Ben Tre earns ASC Feed certificate

Representative of Bureau Veritas Vietnam handing over ASC Feed certification to C.P. Factory Ben Tre

On July 29, C.P. Vietnam’s aqua-feed mill branch in Ben Tre was awarded the ASC Feed certificate by Bureau Veritas Vietnam. The certification recognises compliance with the Aquaculture Stewardship Council’s Feed Standard, one of the most rigorous international benchmarks for responsible and sustainable aqua-feed production. Prasan Atimanon, vice president overseeing production, accepted the certification alongside the factory's leadership team and employees.

The certification marks a key step in the plant’s long-term growth and reflects C.P. Vietnam’s commitment to supporting Vietnam’s aquaculture sector in becoming more professional, responsible, and globally aligned.

ASC Feed is a global benchmark to ensure that feed used in aquaculture is produced sustainably, transparently traceable, and with minimal negative environmental and social impact. The certification outlines hundreds of strict criteria, including clearly sourced and responsibly managed raw materials; carbon emissions reduction and natural resource conservation; Food safety and animal health assurance; rigorous social responsibility practices throughout the supply chain.

The factory is the first in Vietnam, and among just 13 worldwide, to receive this certification, paving the way for greater access to high-standard markets like Europe, the United States, and Japan.

Securing the ASC Feed certification required the factory to meet more than 260 strict criteria, spanning everything from supply chain transparency and environmental safeguards to workplace ethics and operational governance.

Building on C.P.’s robust raw material control system, the factory carried out a systematic, comprehensive, and science-based transformation to meet certification standards. This involved reviewing all procedures, vetting suppliers, refining production processes, strengthening environmental monitoring, and training staff in line with international best practices.

In addition, the factory has adopted locally sourced sustainable fishmeal, promoting more resilient supply chains and supporting the responsible development of Vietnam’s domestic aquaculture industry.
