At Ocean Fresh, we believe seaweed can help solve some of the greatest challenges facing agriculture and industry today - from input dependency to supply chain resilience.
Why choose us ?
Powered by Ecklonia maxima
Our products are exclusively made from Ecklonia maxima, a robust brown seaweed endemic to South Africa. Naturally rich in polyphenols, alginates and other functional compounds, it delivers measurable value across sectors - from soil regeneration and crop performance to feed functionality and hydrocolloid production.
Multi-industry applications
Thanks to its unique composition, Ecklonia maxima supports a wide range of natural formulations :
• Biostimulants for regenerative agriculture
• Feed innovation for aquaculture and livestock
• Alginate-rich biomass for food and industrial applications
We collaborate with partners to tailor our inputs to technical, environmental, or compliance needs.
Backed by science & regulation
Our biostimulant extract is CE registration–ready (Fertilising Products Regulation) and developed in full alignment with EU Farm-to-Fork and Green Deal goals. Independent field trials confirm key benefits: improved nutrient efficiency, abiotic stress tolerance, yield quality and root establishment.
Regulatory traceability and data-backed efficacy - built in.
Responsible sourcing with local impact
We harvest only naturally beach-cast Ecklonia maxima, avoiding disruption to marine ecosystems.
Our collection is low-energy, sun-dried and fully compliant with EU organic production guidelines.
By partnering directly with local cooperatives, we create jobs, build resilient supply chains and deliver marine ingredients that are sustainable - economically, socially and ecologically.
