The Sustainable Shrimp Partnership (SSP) has welcomed Adisseo, BIOLAN, and Cargill as its newest associate members. The new members join a group of companies that already support SSP’s mission, including BASF, BioMar, dsm-firmenich, and Skretting.
The Sustainable Shrimp Partnership (SSP) has announced the addition of Adisseo, BIOLAN, and Cargill as its newest associate members, reinforcing a collective mission to transform aquaculture through responsible, sustainable, and transparent practices. This strategic alliance reflects the growing momentum across the value chain to advance a more responsible shrimp production worldwide, according to the announcement.
Pamela Nath, Director of SSP, highlighted the significance of this partnership: “Real change in the aquaculture industry can only happen when every actor in the value chain comes together. From producers to suppliers, it’s essential to embrace sustainability at every stage to ensure long-term impact. The involvement of leading companies like Adisseo, BIOLAN, and Cargill brings us closer to achieving that vision.”
The collaboration between SSP and these new members is expected to harness their expertise, innovation, and resources to promote sustainable shrimp farming practices. SSP states this initiative is part of its broader goal to build transparency, accountability, inclusion, and progressive leadership across the entire value chain, encouraging participation from suppliers, producers, retailers, academic institutions, and NGOs to improve the global aquaculture industry.
Lucas Assis, Innovation Project Manager of Adisseo, explains: “By joining SSP, Adisseo strengthens its leadership in sustainable shrimp production, driving collaborative innovation and sharing best practices with industry peers. This partnership provides access to valuable insights and resources, enhances networking opportunities, and underscores Adisseo’s commitment to advancing sustainability in the strategically important LATAM region through its portfolio of products and services.”
Asier Albizu, CEO of BIOLAN, shares the company’s perspective: “BIOLAN decided to join the SSP because it shares SSP’s mission of transforming shrimp aquaculture into a clean, sustainable, and successful practice for the world. BIOLAN’s goal is to work closely with the sector to create robust synergies that facilitate continuous improvement, focusing on traceability, sustainability, and digitalization in production processes to position Ecuadorian aquaculture internationally as a sustainable and renowned industry.”
Dave Robb, Cargill’s Aqua Nutrition Group Sustainability Lead emphasizes Cargill’s shared vision with SSP: “Sustainability is at the core of everything we do at Cargill. Partnerships like this strengthen our ability to reshape the shrimp industry at scale; fostering transparency, improving environmental practices, and collaborating as an industry to set new standards for responsible production.”
With the addition of Adisseo, BIOLAN, and Cargill, the SSP explains it continues to grow its network of collaborators committed to raising global aquaculture standards. These new members join a group of companies that already support SSP’s mission, including BASF, BioMar, dsm-firmenich, Houdek-Prairie AquaTech, Inve Aquaculture, Nicovita, MSD Animal Health, and Skretting.
