BioMar Chile has obtained ASC feed certification for its three production facilities located in Ercilla, Pargua, and Castro. Through a multi-site certification process, BioMar Chile reached a major milestone by securing ASC certification for feed production at its sites in Castro, Pargua, and Ercilla, which are dedicated to producing feed for Atlantic salmon, Coho salmon and trout. “With this achievement, we strengthen our leadership in feed production and reaffirm our commitment to responsible practices and ecosystem care,” explained Gabriela Heim, commercial manager at BioMar Chile.
The ASC Feed Standard sets criteria for responsible aquafeed production, covering social and labor rights, health and safety, environmental management, and sustainable sourcing of raw materials. Achieving ASC feed certification represents a significant step forward in the company’s responsibility strategy and reinforces its role as a reliable supplier committed to responsibility, innovation, and collaboration within the industry. ASC-certified salmon producers across Latin America can now strengthen their competitive position in global markets—where transparency, accountability, and traceability are paramount—by sourcing ASC compliant feed from BioMar.
Cristian Dominik, quality and formulation manager at BioMar Chile, stated, “Our goal is to provide salmon farmers with feed that maximizes their productivity and commercial success. With this certification, our customers can be confident they are using feed that meets the highest global sustainability standards, helping them to strengthen their position in an evolving market.”
Aisla Jones, feed engagement manager at ASC, said that “by meeting ASC's standards, BioMar Chile supports positive change and provides assurance and trust to supply chains. This certification offers Chilean salmon farmers local access to ASC-compliant feed, essential as we approach the October 31, 2025 deadline for certified farms to secure ASC-compliant feed."
“For us, this certification goes beyond simply meeting a standard. It’s part of our commitment to the entire salmon farming value chain. By investing in innovation, responsibility, and collaboration, we aim to help producers achieve long-term success while ensuring seafood production remains ethical, transparent, and sustainable,” Dominik concluded.
These three facilities join BioMar UK's and BioMar Ecuador's facilities in receiving ASC feed certification.
