A new collaborative project launched Thursday by the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), the Vietnamese Directorate of Fisheries (D-Fish) and WWF Vietnam, will provide helpful guidance for Vietnamese farmers wishing to achieve ASC certification.
The ASC-VietGAP benchmark has compared the Vietnamese aquaculture standard, VietGAP, and the ASC standards for shrimp, pangasius and tilapia, to allow farms that have achieved VietGAP certification to transition to ASC certification as efficiently as possible.
The project is the result of collaboration between the three organisations and identified areas of overlap between the standards.
