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-held harvesting permits, our operation supports and sustains 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.

The Early Days
Where a lasting journey toward sustainability began
Founded in 2015, we pioneered the processing and bulk export of South African dry kelp, becoming the first local company to supply China at scale. That early breakthrough proved two things: there is global demand for responsibly sourced kelp, and South Africa can meet it with quality and reliability.

What began along South Africa’s shores now supports global industries committed to sustainability. We supply responsibly harvested kelp materials that help farms grow, businesses create, and ecosystems thrive — naturally and efficiently.
