Since 1971, we have been committed to reducing agricultural risks by providing trusted seaweed solutions. We are a seaweed manufacturer, specialising in the production of naturally high-quality extracts, that support agricultural crop production and provide the essential organic components to the plant.

Our liquid seaweed extracts are produced from sustainably harvested Ecklonia maxima, an endemic species of giant brown seaweed, which grows in abundance at the South-West Coast of South Africa. The unique composition of natural organic components in the extracts support root, shoot and fruit growth in plants. Our extracts are quality controlled to ensure that every application meets exceptional consistency standards and we can proudly say that Afrikelp is ISO 9001 certified.

OUR VISION: Afrikelp aims to be recognised as the number one trusted partner for targeted seaweed solutions in agriculture.
