This summer, Kelpinor has started exporting seaweed biostimulant to the European market, intended for use in ecological agriculture and horticulture. Over the past six months, we have significantly increased our production capacity to meet the strong demand for liquid biostimulants.
Last week, Kelpinor successfully shipped an additional 2,000 liters of seaweed biostimulant to our European customers. Since March, we have increased our processing capacity by nearly 5000%, rapidly advancing our production capabilities with plans for further growth in the coming months.
Kelpinor's long-term mission is to phase out the use of wild-harvested seaweeds for agricultural and industrial purposes. To achieve this, the company is developing new biostimulant products made from cultivated seaweeds. Regeneratively farmed kelp offers a sustainable alternative to traditional wild-harvested ingredients. When growing in the ocean, the seaweed acts as a natural bioremediator, absorbing excess nutrients and CO2, producing oxygen, and essentially cleaning the fjords while reducing ocean acidification.
When harvested and processed into biostimulants, seaweed enhances agricultural productivity by improving nutrient absorption and plant growth, reducing the need for artificial fertilizers. These biostimulants help plants better withstand stresses such as drought, heat, and salinity, making crops more resilient and productive in challenging conditions. This increase in resilience and sustainability are key reasons why farmers prefer products like ours.
As the agricultural sector moves towards more sustainable practices, biostimulants will play an essential role in enhancing crop resilience and productivity. The European Union's goal to reduce pesticide use by 20% within the next six years further underscores the importance of agricultural biologicals in meeting environmental and regulatory standards. Kelpinor stands ready to help accelerate this transition, supporting farmers and producers in adopting eco-friendly and effective biostimulant solutions.
