The #USSEC Southeast Asia Aquaculture team recently visited 10 feed mills and farms across Vietnam where they promoted sustainable #aquaculture, strengthened partnerships and discussed future opportunities for collaboration.    Across Vietnam, the team took the opportunity to introduce USSEC initiatives in aquaculture and highlighted the benefits of #USSoy and U.S. Soy Sustainability Assurance Protocol (SSAP) certification for aquaculture sustainability.    The utilization of high-quality feed ingredients like U.S. Soy is pivotal in achieving sustainable growth in Vietnam's aquaculture industry. We are committed to fostering long-term understanding and demand for U.S. Soy products, supporting sustainable practices that benefit our partners and the wider community.    Canh Bui Van, Thanh Bui     #USDA #Sustainability #Aquafeed

#Didyouknow that by 2032, aquaculture is estimated to supply 60% of global seafood? The projected rate of growth reflects the increasing demand for sustainable and traceable seafood sources. Asia in particular is expected to produce over 88% of aquaculture products globally. 🌏 Stay ahead of the curve and explore how our insights can help you navigate this thriving market 🐟 Contact our team for more information! #Aquaculture #SustainableSeafood #IndustryTrends #SeafoodIndustry

Aquaculture in the Asia-Pacific region is booming! But with the rise of plant-based feed ingredients comes the risk of mycotoxin contamination. How can we safeguard fish and shrimp health while maintaining sustainable growth? Read our latest blog by Dr. Paraskevi (Vivi) Koletsi to learn more. 🐟

🌊Throughout October, UNIDO has been delivering impactful entrepreneurial and digital capacity building sessions across the #SADC region for #PROFISHBLUE, using #HP LIFE from the HP Foundation. These sessions empower Business Development Institutions (BDIs) to strengthen Africa's #BlueEconomy through sustainable aquaculture, enhancing #FoodSecurity, creating jobs, and boosting regional trade. Chicoa Fish Farm, a growing aquaculture leader in Mozambique on Lake Cahora Bassa, supports small-scale farmers by providing high-quality fingerlings, accessible feed, and hands-on training. Chicoa also harvests and distributes premium tilapia — a sustainable, cost-efficient protein source — to help address Africa’s protein deficit. Together with Lake Harvest Aquaculture (Zimbabwe) and Kariba Harvest Ltd (Zambia), Mvuvi is fostering a resilient aquaculture sector across the region. #SustainableDevelopment #Aquaculture #MvuviNetwork #FoodSystems

The growing scarcity of essential feed ingredients demands an urgent and transformative shift in aquaculture practices across Africa. Outdated feeding protocols are no longer sustainable. It is imperative to accurately determine and meet the true nutrient requirements of economically significant fish species by utilizing raw materials that are not only digestible but also highly bioavailable. Yet, the reality on the ground tells a different story. Fish species requiring 32% crude protein (CP) are often fed diets with 35 - 38%, while those needing 38% CP are being overfed with 42%. This persistent overloading of nutrients in fish feeds represents a gross mismanagement of scarce resources contributimg to the high cost of fish feeds. Worse still, it directly contributes to high farm operations cost, environmental degradation, fostering conditions that accelerate fish disease outbreaks and destabilize aquatic ecosystems. To sustain aquaculture, safeguard livelihoods, and protect our planet, we must urgently abandon these wasteful practices. Innovation and precision in feed formulation are non-negotiable. The cost of inaction is steep and unforgiving. As Nigeria and other African countries prepare for heavy investment in cage culture systems: raising fish on open waters, the pressing question remains: how much longer can we ignore these consequences before they irreversibly compromise the aquaculture industry, devastate livelihoods, and jeopardize the prosperity of future generations? The time to act is now.
