Maxicrop Heritage
Maxicrop was founded in 1952, and was an early pioneer in the development of seaweed extracts for use with plants, to stimulate natural healthy growth.
Now, over 50 years on, seaweed extracts are still at the core of the Maxicrop business. Indeed, Maxicrop is probably the most widely recognised, well established brand in this field, offering innovation and continuity of supply of quality Norwegian seaweed-derived products.
Sustainable harvesting
Professional harvesters cut and gather the Ascophyllum nodosum seaweed in
specially designed vessels, cutting only the top part of the plant and leaving the rest of the seaweed attached to the rocks – this allows it to grow back fully. Each area is only harvested once every 4 – 5 years.
This sustainable method of harvesting has been practiced for over 50 years, ensuring that this wonderful natural resource can be maintained for generations to come.
