Aquaculture and fisheries certifications are key tools for ensuring sustainability, traceability, and social responsibility in the production and marketing of seafood products. In the context of the Pacific Alliance and the economic integration between Chile, Colombia, Mexico, and Peru, these certifications take on strategic importance for promoting international trade, diversifying markets, and meeting the standards demanded by global consumers.

The certification processes in the aforementioned countries ensure the quality, health, safety, and quality of seafood products, whether from fishing or controlled farming systems (aquaculture). Their marketing requires the participation of international inspectors who, in some cases, cross-check the products before shipping to ensure their preservation during transport from origin to destination. It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the ISO International Standard Quality certification family, which has been used for more than thirty years, certifications are now being incorporated in the food sector to improve processes and ensure the quality of export products, leading to constant improvement for companies engaged in these important activities in the primary industry.

In addition to aligning sustainability objectives with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations 2030 Agenda, an international framework that addresses economic, social, and environmental challenges, companies seek ways to translate this into improved internal and external export processes.
