BPH Global’s Seaweed Sales Climb to A$226,947 Amid Export Licence Win

Steady Sales Growth in Early Operations

BPH Global Ltd (ASX – BP8) has reported a modest yet meaningful increase in seaweed sales for its Indonesian operations, marking the fifth consecutive month of trading since May 2025. For the period spanning mid-September to mid-October, the company recorded gross sales of approximately A$226,947, edging up from A$222,656 the previous month. This steady upward trajectory underscores the company’s ability to maintain consistent demand in a nascent but promising market.

Dual Operational Model Strengthens Market Position

BP8’s Indonesian subsidiary, PT BPH Global, continues to operate through a dual framework – independently sourcing and processing seaweed while collaborating with PT Kebula Raya Bestari under an existing sales cooperation agreement. Notably, nearly IDR 965 million (around A$87,500) of sales were generated directly by PT BPH Global, reflecting growing operational maturity and control over its supply chain. The remainder of sales were fulfilled through the partnership with Kebula, highlighting a complementary approach that balances internal capabilities with established local networks.

Export Licence Opens International Doors

A pivotal development during this period was the granting of a Seaweed Export Licence by the Indonesian Government to PT BPH Global. This regulatory milestone authorizes the company to export seaweed products directly, bypassing previous constraints and positioning BP8 to tap into international markets imminently. The licence not only enhances commercial flexibility but also aligns with the company’s broader strategy to build a vertically integrated seaweed business with global reach.

Infrastructure and Sustainability at the Forefront

Supporting these operational advances is the fully functional Makassar warehouse in South Sulawesi, equipped with a quality control laboratory and processing capacity of up to 1,000 metric tons per month. This facility underpins both independent and collaborative sales channels, enabling scale and quality assurance. Furthermore, BP8’s sourcing remains deeply rooted in partnerships with coastal farming communities in the Nunukan region, reinforcing commitments to sustainability, traceability, and social responsibility, key factors that increasingly resonate with global buyers.

Looking Ahead

Managing Director Matthew Leonard emphasized the significance of these developments, noting that the company’s ability to generate independent revenue so early is a testament to its local expertise and investment in infrastructure. With international shipments expected to commence soon, BP8 is poised to expand its footprint beyond Indonesia, potentially unlocking new revenue streams and enhancing shareholder value.
