The Code, primarily based on the international standards and guidelines required by the GAA/BAP farm certification standards, has been developed by the Saudi Aquaculture Society (SAS), under the guidance of the Aquaculture Department of the Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture (ADMEWA) and it serves as the official standard setting document for the certification and labelling of national aquaculture products under the SAMAQ program. The Code is designed to meet four main objectives (1) a well-constructed instrument helping in achieving balanced and proportionate regulation of the industry’s activities; (2) a high minimum standard of practice for every participating aquaculture producer and a framework for industry development through continuous improvement; (3) assurance to all stakeholders, consumers and the general public that Saudi aquaculture is a highly responsible operating food sector; (4) certification of the industry and the subsequent labelling of the products under the SAMAQ logo, to develop marketing and promotional actions for increasing the awareness on the industry’s products.
