Avanti Feeds Limited has become India’s third group to achieve four-star Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) status for shrimp or any species.
Four-star BAP status denotes that the processing plants, farms, hatcheries and feed mills from which a group sources are BAP certified.
“Avanti Feeds has always promoted sustainability and reliability in aquaculture, and, as part of this effort, had its processing plant and feed mills BAP certified,” said the company in a statement.
Avanti Feeds is India’s third group in only a month to earn four-star BAP status. Penver Products Ltd. became India’s first group to earn the distinction for shrimp or any species in early April, and Suryamitra Exim (P) Ltd. followed with four-star BAP status about a week later.
