Our role in the value chain

Feed to food chain
  • 1. Primary producers

    Agricultural crops, land farming and wild fisheries are directly and indirectly used for food, feed and energy. If not managed properly, primary producers of feed ingredients can contribute to a loss of biodiversity, climate change and human right violations.

  • 2. Feed ingredients manufacturers

    Raw materials are processed into ingredients that can be made into fish and shrimp feeds. Feed ingredients are selected for the nutrients they can provide, the absence of anti-nutritional or undesirable substances, economics and sustainability credentials.

  • 3. Skretting

    Skretting converts ingredients into innovative fish and shrimp feed products. Out operations are built upon a solid foundation of human resources provided with good labour conditions and a safe working environment.

  • 4. Farmers

    Aquaculture farmers feed their fish and shrimp to grow highquality and nutritious food. Aquaculture farming performance is determined by animal health, nutrition and farm management.

  • 5. Food distributors

    Food distributors have an important role to play in promoting and advancing sustainable consumption and production of farmed fish and shrimp.

  • 6. Consumers

    People purchase and eat high-quality, safe and nutritious seafood – fish and shrimp.
