What can the ocean teach agriculture about giving back? 🌊🌱

This World Ocean Day (8 June), we're celebrating the natural systems that support both our oceans and our food production.

At Kelpak, we use a selective, rotational strip-harvesting model that works within the natural limits of South Africa's kelp forests. By harvesting only mature kelp canopies, we help create space for younger plants to establish and thrive, supporting the ongoing regeneration of these remarkable ecosystems.

Because true sustainability isn't only about what we take, it's also about what we leave behind.

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting a group of Chilean agricultural partners, growers and industry stakeholders for a week of connection, knowledge sharing and exploration in South Africa.

During the visit, guests experienced the full Kelpak journey - from the sustainable harvesting of kelp along our coastline to our production facilities and the science behind our biostimulant technology.

Beyond the technical discussions, the week created valuable opportunities to strengthen relationships, exchange insights and showcase the people, landscapes and hospitality that make South Africa so unique. We sincerely appreciate the continued trust of our Chilean partners and their input in driving new research developments.

It was great to host a group of progressive farmers from Limpopo at Kelpak recently

In collaboration with AECI Plant Health, the visit was facilitated by Crop Advisor Alber Horn, joined by Regional Sales Manager Jacques Swanepoel and Technical Advisor Gerhard Oberholzer. The group represented a diverse range of crops, including citrus, blueberries, mangoes and avocados.

The visit provided a full Kelpak experience, from our harvesting site, to a tour of our production facility, and in-depth discussions around the table. It was a valuable opportunity to connect the science behind our biostimulant technology with real-world application in the field.

Strong tomato performance starts before transplanting, with root development that supports the crop through every stage.

From reducing transplant shock to driving root and shoot vigour, early support sets the tone for the entire season.

The result?
- Up to +31% yield increase
-️ More fruit, better size
-️ Shelf-life extended by up to 10 days

With flexible application methods and timing, it’s about supporting the crop when it needs it most, from seedling stage through to harvest.
