BioMar and the Caviar d'Aquitaine Association work together to develop a new range of food for caviar producers in France under our BLUE IMPACT line

BioMar has recently agreed with the Caviar d'Aquitaine Association (Group Kaviar, Prunier, L'Esturgeonnière and Caviar de France) on a commitment to the planet: the use of a new range of more sustainable feeds; our BLUE IMPACT line for sturgeon feeding in France,

This range of sustainable feeds is based on science and aims to reduce the impact of aquaculture feed on the entire value chain through 3 key variables.

1) Dependence on scarce marine ingredients in aquafeeds

2) Use of circular and renewable raw materials.

3) Reducing the carbon footprint by ensuring that raw materials come from sustainable sources.

It is important to note that fish feed accounts for up to 80% of the environmental impact of aquaculture farms, and BioMar is aware of this and wants to increase efforts throughout the value chain.

We want to be part of the future of Aquitaine Caviar. We recognize the key factors that have contributed to the development of this industry: its tradition, its geographical location and the unwavering determination of the people to protect the sustainable and high-quality cultivation of a sturgeon species that has been threatened by indiscriminate fishing in the region for many years.

Producers in the Aquitaine region have created the necessary conditions to guarantee consumers the highest quality French caviar. This became the basis for the creation of an IGP (Indication Géographique Protégée) or protected geographical indication, which is currently undergoing approval.

This Blue Impact product development initiative aims to guarantee consumers an authentic product that respects the planet and its natural resources, meets strict production standards and, above all, improves over time; because its development is evolutionary, meaning that its formulation will change with each optimization according to the raw materials.

Formulating food according to its impact means finding a balance between the impact of the raw materials from which it is made.

This level of transparency strengthens the trust of consumers who are increasingly concerned about the ethics and sustainability of products. Monitoring ensures compliance with sturgeon farming conditions, environmental standards, and strict animal welfare rules.
