Challenges in Your Sector

What is blocking your shipments

Incomplete health traceability

ONSSA suspends approval if the farming register does not document the origin of fry, veterinary treatments, and water analyses. Each batch must be traceable back to the hatchery.

Antibiotic residues detected

European laboratories reject shipments as soon as a sample exceeds the MRLs. Without a documented withdrawal plan validated by a veterinarian, you lose the export market.

Uncontrolled water quality

Dissolved oxygen, pH, ammonia: if you do not measure continuously and correct according to a written protocol, mortality rises and the buyer refuses sustainability certification.

Our Knowledge of the Sector

Experts who understand your business

We support aquaculture farms and algaculture units in achieving ONSSA compliance and obtaining GlobalG.A.P. Aquaculture or ASC. We audit your ponds, draft hygiene and traceability procedures, train your teams in filling out farming registers, and prepare the certification audit by the accredited body. We also work on ISO 22000 for processing workshops and on financing applications with Crédit Agricole du Maroc.

What we do for you

  • ONSSA compliance audit and drafting of the health approval file
  • Implementation of the GlobalG.A.P. Aquaculture or ASC system (procedures, registers, water plan)
  • Staff training in hygiene, traceability, and use of inputs
  • ISO 22000 support for the packaging workshop
  • Preparation of the financing application (Crédit Agricole, Tamwil Al Fellah, ADA subsidies)

Frequently Asked Questions

What leaders in the Aquaculture & Algoculture sector ask us

Is GlobalG.A.P. Aquaculture mandatory for export to Europe?+
European regulations only require health traceability and MRLs. In practice, Carrefour, Auchan, and wholesalers refuse to purchase without GlobalG.A.P. or ASC: it has become the market access condition.
How long does it take to obtain ONSSA approval?+
ONSSA processes the file after receiving the veterinary audit report, the health control plan, and the water analysis reports. The timeframe depends on the completeness of the file and the availability of the regional inspector.
Can a farm that still uses antibiotics be certified?+
GlobalG.A.P. and ASC allow antibiotics on veterinary prescription, provided withdrawal periods are respected and everything is recorded in the register. Systematic preventive use is prohibited and blocks certification.
Is a different certification required for algae (spirulina, chlorella)?+
Edible algae fall under ONSSA just like fish. For export, buyers often request organic (NOP, EU) or ISO 22000. GlobalG.A.P. offers an algae module, still not widespread in Morocco.
