Feed Mill Is First In Indonesia To Earn BAP Certification
Shrimp and finfish companies sourcing from Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP)-certified hatcheries, farms and processing plants can now source feed from the PT Centralpertiwi Bahari (CP Prima) feed mill in Indonesia and be capable of offering four-star BAP product.
The feed mill, owned by PT Central Proteinaprima (CP Prima) and located in Lampung province, recently attained BAP certification. It’s Indonesia’s first feed mill to do so. CP Prima’s shrimp hatchery and one of its farms is also BAP certified.
Companies are capable of offering four-star BAP product if the product originates from BAP-certified feed mills, hatcheries, farms and processing plants. It’s the highest achievement in the BAP program.
Currently, there are more than 50 BAP-certified feed mills worldwide.
CP Prima is a fully integrated shrimp producer as well as Indonesia’s market leader in shrimp fry and shrimp and finfish feed production. The company’s products include frozen shrimp, shrimp feed, shrimp fry and probiotics.
