Global standard for sustainable aquafeed production
At the certification ceremony, Mr. Prasan Atimanon – Deputy General Director in charge of aquafeed production – along with the company’s leadership team and employees, officially received the ASC Feed certification from Bureau Veritas Vietnam, one of the country’s leading testing, inspection, and certification organizations.
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.

Innovation as a foundation for growth
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.
Over the past 15 years, the C.P. Factory Ben Tre has worked to support Vietnam’s aquaculture industry by delivering high-quality, consistent, and environmentally friendly feed.
Earning ASC Feed certification reflects the plant’s long-standing commitment to improvement and marks a strategic step forward – opening the door to deeper collaboration with farmers, encouraging responsible farming, reducing risk, boosting efficiency, and raising export potential.
