(vasep.com.vn) On 10th October 2012, Cuu Long Fish Stock Company (CL-Fish Corp) was granted the Global Aquaculture Alliance’s Best Aquaculture Practice (BAP) certificate for its pangasius farm and processing plant by Global Trust Certification.
The BAP-certified farm covers an area of 40 hectares in Thanh Binh district, Dong Thap province. It provides about 15,000 MT per year, responding to 40 percent of raw material needs of the company’s processing plant.
CL-Fish Corp’s plant includes two processing units with total production capacity of 200 MT of raw material per day and nearly 2,500 workers. The plant also was granted HACCP, ISO 22:000, ISF, BRC, HALAL...
An Giang-based firm is one of elite companies in Vietnam satisfying strict requirements of BAP standards to be awarded certification for both farm and processing plant. BAP certificate is not only considered as the gold standard in aquaculture, but BAP has also become the choice of forward-thinking retail and foodservice buyers in major markets such as the U.S. The standards encompass five areas: the environment, food safety, traceability, animal welfare, and social responsibility.
With BAP certification, CL-Fish Corp proved its commitment to provide safe, healthy and sustainable fish products to consumers despite the current global crisis.
The company mainly sold pangasius products to Middle East market. Since September 2011, it has sent pangasius to the U.S. and enjoyed the U.S. Department of Commerce’s antidumping duty of zero percent.
