Pangasius supplier: We’ll give buyers no choice on ASC

Queens Products, the leading pangasius supplier to the Netherlands, plans to switch completely to Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC)-certified pangasius and tilapia.

 “We will give consumers and buyers no choice. So we move completely with both tilapia and panga to ASC, when it is available,” Harry Hoogendoorn, its managing director, told IntraFish.

The non-GlobalGap tilapia is at the moment red listed on the Dutch fish guide, said Hoogendoorn.

This will have an impact on prices, as producing according to ASC standards means much higher costs, he said.
