IFFO RS met with a representative of the Panama small pelagics FIP following their successful transition within the IFFO RS Improver Programme

During the IFFO members meeting in Madrid, Spain, Libby Woodhatch (Executive Chair, IFFO RS Governing Body) and Francisco Aldon (General Manager at IFFO RS) met with Brian Murtagh (AnimalFeeds) to congratulate the Panama FIP stakeholders on their transition to the new IFFO RS IP application procedure against V2.0 of the IFFO RS standard. This process involved the implementation of a new law in Panama as well as investment in technology, staff training and vessel observers. This continued journey of improvement will allow better management of the fishery and enable producers of marine ingredients to demonstrate their commitment towards responsibly sourced raw materials.
