The ProTerra Foundation has been the mediator of the “Aquaculture dialogue on sustainable soy sourcing from Brazil” working group. This group is composed by SPC Brazilian suppliers – CJ Selecta, Caramuru and Imcopa, and Norwegian aquaculture companies – BioMar, Mowi, Cargill Aqua Nutrition and Skretting.
An outstanding result has been achieved when the Brazilian soy suppliers, Caramuru, Imcopa and CJ Selecta, committed to implement 2020 as the cut-off date for their entire supply. This historic move was mediated by the ProTerra Foundation.
By implementing this program, the crushers are contributing to increased trust and transparency in the industry. Since the cut-off date of August 2020, these companies source soy only from farmers who refrain from clearing forests on their property.
