ANALYSIS

Strengths
  • Some feed suppliers publish commitments to improve the transparency and sourcing of both the marine and terrestrial raw materials used in feed manufacture and report on their progress. Some are collaborating on sustainability issues under multi-stakeholder initiatives and trade associations. Two factories providing marine ingredients are in the Marin Trust Improver Programme.
Weaknesses
  • Not all major feed suppliers publish commitments to improve the sourcing of marine and other raw materials used in feed manufacture or responsible sourcing policies.
