What is Compound Feed Manufacturing?
Compound Feed Manufacturing (CFM) aims to provide manufacturers with clarity on market requirements and act as a practical manual for feed mill operations.

CFM is a mandatory sourcing requirement for compound feed destined for aquatic species covered by the Integrated Farm Assurance (IFA) for aquaculture standard, enhancing traceability at all stages of the production chain. CFM-certified production processes account for more than 20 million metric tons of compound feed in the market every year.
