Danish feed producer Aller Aqua stopped using South American soy in its European factories in 2020, and is instead using 100 percent regionally produced soy from Europe and surrounding countries.
By sourcing soy regionally, Aller Aqua hopes to address the increasing concern of deforestation in certain South American countries.
"This deforestation issue has been an increasing concern, not least during 2020, and as we had the opportunity and organisational setup to make the choice of eliminating South American soy from our European production – this is what we have done,” said Aller Aqua CPO and Group Vice President Henrik Halken.
