Aquafeed

The feed will be tailored for New Zealand’s king salmon and will play a critical role in advancing open-ocean farming, most notably at the country’s first open-ocean salmon farm, Blue Endeavour.

Vitamin D deficiency is a widespread concern in many regions, and farmed salmon enhanced with naturally elevated levels of the nutrient could help address this gap in daily dietary intake.

The acquisition strengthens Alltech’s foothold in northern Europe’s aquaculture sector while ensuring Finland’s domestic fish feed supply is safeguarded.

The decision comes despite Cargill’s longstanding presence in Vietnam and a US$160 million investment that included the construction of 12 feed mills with a total annual capacity of 1.6 million metric tons.

The ASC Feed Standard sets a high bar for sustainability, requiring certified facilities to meet rigorous criteria in areas such as responsible raw material sourcing, labour practices, traceability, and environmental management.

This initiative marks the first time Enifer’s PEKILO® fermentation process will be deployed outside of Europe, and the first global use of corn ethanol-derived thin stillage as a feedstock for mycoprotein production.

The new facility, which is scheduled for completion in April 2028, will double its current annual production capacity to 40,000 tonnes.

His new position consolidates the sustainability and communications functions at Skretting.

Production will take place at Fóðurblandan’s upgraded facility in Reykjavik, accompanied by the establishment of a distribution centre for BioMar’s existing feed portfolio.

His appointment marks a significant internal promotion and reinforces the company’s commitment to continuity, innovation, and sustainable aquaculture.
