CPF complies with international practice on procurement of fishmeal

CPF complies with international practice on procurement of fishmeal

Charoen Pokphand Food (CPF) is confident that its procurement of fishmeal is completely in line with international sustainable practice and is traceable back to the vessels at port.

CPF Vice President Jarus Aussawachanchaisakul said in a press statement  that his company currently both raw materials only from fishmeal producers that meet the Responsible Supply Chain of Custody standard set by the International Fishmeal and Fish Oil Organization (IFFO).
This meant fishmeal is used efficiently and is traceable. We are in the process of bringing more suppliers up to this standard.
He was speaking during a visit of the Command Centre for Combatting Illegal Fishing (CCCIF) to the company’s Baan Phru aquatic feed factory recently.
“As a responsible producer, our suppliers, including all fishmeal factories and the vessels that supply them, must all undergo regular audits to ensure they meet the company’s high social and ethical standards."
According to the statement, CPF is also actively communicating its traceability program to suppliers and other relevant parties in both the public and private sector, in an effort to bring about multi-stakeholder collaboration that will improve fishmeal procurement in Thailand and increase sustainable practice in the industry.
At present, CPF bought only fishmeal from producers that are certified under the set standard, and the company aims to increase the number of certified suppliers to accommodate its production in the future.
