Thailand’s seafood industry is stepping up sustainability efforts as major retailers in the US and Europe increasingly scrutinise seafood supply chains.
Eight Thai industry groups have launched a long-running Fishery Improvement Project (FIP) under the Thai Sustainable Fisheries Roundtable to promote sustainable fishmeal production in line with the MarinTrust international standard.
The initiative focuses on traceability, factory standards and responsible sourcing of raw materials, aiming to ensure fish used in feed comes from sustainable fisheries.
More than 45 fishmeal factories have joined the programme, with three already achieving full MarinTrust certification — a move expected to strengthen Thailand’s seafood supply chain and competitiveness in global markets.
