Awareness
To Feed Info News Service Agrifirm director APAC, Jeroen Jeuken stated that he was proud to be the first premix plan in China to receive the GMP+ Feed Safety Assurance certificate.” According to Jeuken awareness of the importance of feed and food safety is increasing within China. “GMP+ is essential to assure transparency in all these processes and procedures throughout our supply chain and operations. We strongly believe this is the only way to ensure a leading position in the animal nutrition market as China is becoming more strict on antibiotic usage and more aware about food safety.”
