Adisseo, BIOLAN, and Cargill have joined the Sustainable Shrimp Partnership (SSP) as associate members, reinforcing a collective mission to transform aquaculture through responsible, sustainable, and transparent practices. This strategic alliance reflects the growing momentum across the value chain to advance more responsible shrimp production worldwide.
Pamela Nath, director of SSP, highlighted the significance of this partnership. "Real change in the aquaculture industry can only happen when every actor in the value chain comes together. From producers to suppliers, it’s essential to embrace sustainability at every stage to ensure long-term impact. The involvement of leading companies like Adisseo, BIOLAN, and Cargill bring us closer to achieving that vision."
The collaboration between SSP and these new members will harness their expertise, innovation, and resources to promote sustainable shrimp farming practices. This initiative is part of SSP’s broader goal to build transparency, accountability, inclusion, and progressive leadership across the entire value chain, encouraging participation from suppliers, producers, retailers, academic institutions, and NGOs to improve the global aquaculture industry.
Lucas Assis, innovation project manager of Adisseo, said that “by joining SSP, Adisseo strengthens its leadership in sustainable shrimp production, driving collaborative innovation and sharing best practices with industry peers. This partnership provides access to valuable insights and resources, enhances networking opportunities, and underscores Adisseo’s commitment to advancing sustainability in the strategically important LATAM region."
Dave Robb, Cargill’s Aqua Nutrition Group Sustainability lead emphasized Cargill’s shared vision with SSP. “Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Cargill. Partnerships like this strengthen our ability to reshape the shrimp industry at scale; fostering transparency, improving environmental practices, and collaborating as an industry to set new standards for responsible production.”
With the addition of Adisseo, BIOLAN, and Cargill, the SSP continues to grow its network of collaborators committed to raising global aquaculture standards. These new members join a group of companies that already support SSP’s mission, including BASF, BioMar, dsm-firmenich, Houdek-Prairie AquaTech, Inve Aquaculture, Nicovita, MSD Animal Health, and Skretting.
