Animal Welfair®: Differentiate your brand in the Global Market

Lekkerland, a renowned Costa Rican premium cheese brand, became a pioneer in Latin America by obtaining the Animal Welfair® certification. This achievement not only guarantees standards of sustainability and animal care, in addition to positioning certified companies as leaders in quality and transparency within the regional agribusiness.

In an increasingly competitive and conscious market, differentiation is not only a luxury, it is a necessity. Animal Welfair® certification is the perfect tool for agri-food companies seeking to stand out, improve their practices and gain the trust of demanding consumers.

This international certification, developed by the Instituto de Investigación y Tecnología Agroalimentaria (IRTA), evaluates animal welfare in five key areas: no fear, no stress and no sickness. In Latin America, where the animal industry is fundamental to economic development, this certification represents a unique opportunity to meet global standards and respond to sustainability demands.

Companies such as Lekkerland in Costa Rica are already harvesting the benefits of this certification. Not only does implementation improve product quality and traceability, it boosts farm productivity by optimizing animal management. This responsible and transparent approach builds trust among consumers and trading partners, generating new business opportunities in international markets.
