The BAP program has reached a major milestone - the annual output from BAP-certified processing plants at the end of October 2012 exceeded one million metric tons, up from 763,000 metric tons at the end of October 2011.
“We’re having a wonderful year,” said Wally Stevens, executive director of the Global Aquaculture Alliance (GAA), at GAA’s GOAL 2012 conference in Bangkok, Thailand, which wrapped up on 2 November. “The number of facilities is up over 500 - that’s a 34% increase in certified facilities in the BAP program.”
