About SA Kelp Resource
Leading the sustainable harvesting and processing of Ecklonia maxima kelp from South Africa's pristine Atlantic coastline.
Our Story
Shaped by the South African coast, shared with the world
What started as a small coastal initiative has grown into a leading supplier of wet and dry kelp for agriculture, manufacturing, and research worldwide.
Through community and commercially held harvesting permits, our operations support and sustain thousands of families along the coastline who rely on the opportunities created by responsible kelp production. This model strengthens local economies while ensuring long-term environmental stewardship. In doing so, we’ve created a system where coastal communities, global industries, and the planet can grow together.

This early success demonstrated two key things: there is strong global demand for responsibly sourced kelp, and South Africa is capable of meeting that demand with consistent quality and reliability.
