ARECA obtains GLOBALG.A.P. Compound Feed Manufacturing certification
Aves Reproductoras de Centroamerica S.A. (ARECA), part of Grupo PAF founded in 1958, is the first Guatemalan feed mill to obtain GLOBALG.A.P. Compound Feed Manufacturing (CFM) certification for the production of its aquaculture feeds of shrimp and tilapia.
“To be GLOBALG.A.P. certified demonstrates our commitment to warrant the quality of the aquaculture feeds we manufacture to our clients. Moreover, this opens the door to new international markets. We are all very proud of having obtained this certification as it is one of the best recognised worldwide,” said Servando Benavides, Director of Production at ARECA.
