Feed quality and production practices at the mill level directly affect the performance, health, and food safety profile of farmed fish and shrimp downstream. By certifying the feedmill itself – not just the farming operations – Gold Coin ensures that responsible standards are embedded at the input stage, setting a foundation for sustainable outcomes throughout the entire aquaculture value chain.

This unbroken streak demonstrates that the facility has consistently met or exceeded the certification’s requirements year after year, reflecting a deeply embedded operational commitment to quality and sustainability.
What specific areas does the BAP Certification evaluate, and why are these relevant to aqua feed production?
The BAP Certification covers food safety, animal health and welfare, environmental stewardship, and social responsibility.
