DNV certifies Camimex to the ASC Farm Standard, reinforcing responsible shrimp farming in Vietnam
Certification provides third-party assurance of Camimex’s farming practices against internationally recognized environmental and social requirements.
Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, 24 August 2026 – DNV has certified Camimex to the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) Farm Standard, supporting the company’s commitment to responsible shrimp farming and greater transparency across the seafood value chain.
As demand for responsibly produced seafood continues to grow, certification provides producers with an independent way to demonstrate that their farming operations meet recognized environmental and social requirements.
The certification comes as aquaculture plays an increasingly important role in global food production. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), aquaculture surpassed capture fisheries as the primary source of aquatic animal production globally for the first time in 2022, highlighting the importance of responsible and sustainable farming practices as the sector continues to grow.
The ASC Farm Standard addresses key impacts associated with aquaculture production, including environmental performance, biodiversity and ecosystem protection, responsible resource use, fish health and working conditions.
For Camimex, the certification provides independent verification of its farming practices and strengthens its ability to demonstrate responsible aquaculture performance to customers and stakeholders in Vietnam and international markets.
“Responsible aquaculture is becoming increasingly important across global seafood supply chains. By achieving certification to the ASC Farm Standard, Camimex demonstrates that its farming practices have been independently assessed against recognized environmental and social requirements. We are pleased to support the company on this journey.” - Rachel Ng, Food & Beverage Manager, DNV Southeast Asia & Oceania.
Third-party certification can help seafood producers strengthen transparency and provide customers with greater confidence in how aquaculture products are produced.
For companies operating across international seafood markets, it can also support the growing need to demonstrate responsible sourcing practices through credible and independently verified information.
