Thoughts from the Spring 2024 season
The Spring 2024 season has concluded! Our first batch of dried seaweed from the Loch Bay test farm has just arrived in the mail. Expertly dried and chopped by Eco Cascade, we now have a modest 15kg of sample product to share with our customers and other interested parties.
Kaly Group remains dedicated to data collection to better understand how the chemical composition of seaweed varies annually and by location. We believe that achieving superior, consistent quality is essential for seaweed to compete effectively with land-grown biomass.
With a full slate of activities planned for the summer, we continue to address every step of the supply chain, from seedstock to refined biomaterial. Wild-harvested seaweed has already proven its potential to reach large-scale markets in Europe, offering, despite ecological drawbacks, a price advantage compared to cultivated seaweed. Only by solving supply chain inefficiencies does cultivated seaweed have any chance of providing its many benefits to customers on a national scale.
