ENSENADA BAJA, CA - What began with a vision focused on the resources of the sea has evolved into a Mexican company dedicated to transforming the potential of algae and other marine resources into solutions for agriculture.
Founded in 2012 in Ensenada, Baja California, Algas Pacific was established with the goal of harnessing the properties of marine algae to develop products that help improve crop nutrition, development, and response to different conditions.
More than a decade later, the company has built a strong foundation based on science, research, and technology applied to agriculture, with a presence in Mexico, the United States, and Chile.
From the Ocean to the Field
Algas Pacific works primarily with algae from the North Pacific, including Macrocystis pyrifera and Gelidium robustum, which are processed through its proprietary methodology known as the AP Method.
This methodology is designed to efficiently harness the components found in algae and transform them into solutions with high bioavailability for plants.
The result is a portfolio divided into two main categories: biostimulants and highly assimilable nutrients, designed to address different crop needs and stages of development.
Five Solutions, Different Needs
Its Biostimulants line includes:
- NPKelp®, a liquid marine algae extract that works as a biostimulant and biological activator, supporting crop development and helping plants respond to stress conditions.
- Kelproot®, a rooting agent and soil conditioner designed to promote root development, moisture retention, and more efficient nutrient uptake.
Its Highly Assimilable Nutrients line includes:
- Larusoil®, a liquid extract of seabird guano that provides nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.
- CopperKelp®, a solution developed from copper and algae-derived compounds, focused on supplying this micronutrient while supporting the plant’s natural defense mechanisms.
- ZnKelp®, an organomineral complex designed to provide highly assimilable zinc and promote its uptake and utilization by crops.
Rather than offering isolated products, Algas Pacific develops nutrition and biostimulation programs tailored to the characteristics of each crop and the specific needs of each grower.
Mexican Science with an International Vision
One of the key elements that sets Algas Pacific apart is its commitment to research. The company has developed technologies and products in collaboration with specialists and scientific institutions, bringing knowledge from marine sciences into agricultural applications.
Its experience extends across crops such as berries, strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, pecans, tomatoes, figs, citrus fruits, bananas, and papayas, among others.
This experience has also allowed the company to work with agricultural businesses across different markets. Among its clients is Coliman Bananas, a Mexican producer and marketer of organic and conventional bananas with a presence in both domestic and international markets.
Looking Toward More Efficient Agriculture
Algas Pacific’s philosophy aligns with an agricultural approach focused on using resources more efficiently. Its work incorporates concepts such as biostimulation, regenerative agriculture, and green chemistry, seeking to contribute to soil health, plant development, and more efficient nutrient utilization.
At its core, the story of Algas Pacific is one of Mexican innovation: taking resources from the Pacific, studying them, and transforming them into technology that helps produce food.
From Ensenada to fields across different regions of the world, the company continues to bring a simple yet powerful idea to life: the ocean can also be a source of innovation for agriculture. Algas Pacific — An Ocean of Nutrients.
