Vietnamese aquafeed awarded international certification

Aquafeed produced by Greenfeed Tay Ninh Factory has successfully passed a series of rigorous assessments to be recognized as a sustainable aquafeed producer meeting the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) standard. This certification acknowledges aquaculture operations that demonstrate responsibility and compliance with key criteria, including traceability of raw materials, environmental protection, social responsibility, and transparent supply chain management.

With over two decades of presence in the agricultural sector, Greenfeed has made systematic investments in developing an integrated value chain from inputs to outputs, working alongside Vietnamese aquaculture farmers to address existing challenges, enhance economic performance, and promote sustainability.

In Vietnam, frogs are considered a high-value agricultural product thanks to their tender, flavorful meat, strong consumer demand, and stable export value, making them one of the country’s leading export commodities. However, several factors still limit export volumes, including the lack of high-quality, disease-free seed sources; inadequate animal health management solutions; excessive use of antibiotics during farming; and incomplete high-density farming processes.

To address these issues, Greenfeed has developed and applied its Aquagreen, Superwhite, and Panafeed product lines for frog farming, from breeding to commercial stages. These feeds meet clean and safe standards, contain full nutritional value, and are free from prohibited substances in accordance with regulations of the Directorate of Fisheries. The company’s production and quality control systems for raw materials and finished products comply with ISO 22000:2018 (Food Safety) and ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management) standards.

Since 2014, Greenfeed’s aquafeed products have consistently earned BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) certification, reflecting its production capacity and feed quality that meet the stringent requirements of international customers and export partners.

In addition, Greenfeed provides comprehensive solutions, including the development of standardized farms for both pond-based and land-based farming models with suitable stocking densities; technical solutions for animal health management throughout the production cycle to increase survival rates; responsible and proper antibiotic use; disease prevention; and improved growth and productivity.

Ensuring stable market access for frog farmers who follow export-standard farming models and properly apply Greenfeed’s aquafeed and aquatic health management solutions helps optimize production efficiency and promote sustainable development.

Greenfeed’s aquaculture products, such as frozen frog legs, are fully traceable, with a strong commitment to input quality, and are currently exported to various regions including Europe, South America, Oceania, and Asia (Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and others).

For tilapia, Greenfeed has invested significant efforts in building an integrated value chain under its own brand, focusing on every stage from input to output. The goal is to optimize farmers' economic performance while expanding production and export potential across domestic and international markets.

From the input stage, Greenfeed prioritizes research and production of clean, nutritionally optimized aquafeed tailored to each growth phase of tilapia. Recently, the Panafeed product line was introduced for pond-farmed tilapia, from fry under 5 grams to commercial fish above 100-200 grams. This feed is suitable not only for pond farming but also for cage farming in gentle-flow river systems.

Greenfeed's tilapia farming process is both efficient and sustainable. It follows standardized procedures that help reduce operational costs, ensure uniform fish growth, and maximize productivity. Its modern, biosecure farming model further supports farmers in reducing costs while maintaining high-quality harvests and improving overall profitability.

On the output side, Greenfeed exports frozen tilapia that fully comply with export-standard farming practices and utilize Greenfeed’s certified aquafeed and aquatic health management solutions to markets in Europe, South America, Oceania, and Asia.

Beyond frogs and tilapia, Greenfeed continues to expand and refine its value chains for other aquatic species such as pangasius, red tilapia, marine fish, and eels. Through its 3F Plus integrated chain, from aquafeed production to processed aquaculture products. Greenfeed provides safe, high-quality food for both domestic consumers and export markets.
