Lake Harvest is the first tilapia farm in Africa to meet the new International Standards for Responsible Tilapia Aquaculture (ISRTA).  These new global standards are designed to reassure consumers about how food is produced and have been set by GLOBALGAP.

Patrick Blow, MD, announced “We are delighted to have been accredited as we have always been committed to providing sustainably reared fish.”

About GLOBALGAP

GLOBALGAP is a private sector body that sets voluntary standards for the certification of production processes of agricultural (including aquaculture) products around the globe. These standards are primarily designed to reassure consumers about how food is produced on the farm by minimizing detrimental environmental impacts of farming operations, reducing the use of chemical inputs and ensuring a responsible approach to worker health and safety as well as animal welfare.
