In a recent article in Seafood Source, Cargill Aqua Nutrition sustainability manager Dave Robb says his company can be a big contributor to the growing demand in aquaculture production, while at the same time keeping its commitment to supporting the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. The company has made clear commitments toward climate change, deforestation and ocean health.

Its latest sustainability report shows a production of nearly 1.5 million metric tons (MT) of aquaculture feed in 2017, giving the company a 3.5% share of the global market.

The company's feed range encompasses 30 different warm- and cold-water species, but the majority was produced for salmonids – 985,000 MT – and around one-third for shrimp and tilapia - 506,000 MT.

In 2017, 45% of the company's source fisheries were either in possession of MSC certification or working toward it and a large percentage of marine ingredients bore IFFO RS certification, according to the its sustainability report.
