BPH Global Posts Second Highest Monthly Seaweed Sales in May

Robust Sales Momentum as Monsoon Ends

BPH Global Ltd (ASX:BP8) recorded gross sales of IDR 4.965 billion (approximately A$391,000) for the twelfth trading period ending 14 May 2026, marking its second highest monthly performance since operations began in May 2025. This result narrowly trails the company’s record set in the sixth month, underscoring a strong rebound in trading activity as Makassar emerges from the monsoon season.

Aggregate gross sales over the first twelve months have now reached approximately A$3.33 million, reflecting the steady scale-up of BPH’s Indonesian seaweed trading platform. The improved weather conditions have been pivotal, enhancing harvesting activity, product quality, and seaweed availability, which in turn has driven higher trading volumes.

Stable Demand Fuels Export and Domestic Sales

Customer demand remained consistent across both domestic and export markets during the period, supporting the upward sales trajectory. This stability is notable given the seasonal challenges that previously affected volumes, as seen in earlier months when monsoon conditions slowed operations. The company’s focus on strengthening engagement with Makassar-based farmer networks and improving procurement consistency has likely contributed to maintaining supply reliability.

The transition into the dry season is expected to sustain this momentum, with BPH targeting further growth in trading throughput and supply chain stability. This operational positioning aligns with the company’s broader strategy to support both local and international market demands.

Reporting Alignment with Financial Year

BPH Global announced a shift in its reporting periods to align with the FY26 financial year ending 30 June 2026. The upcoming update will cover the extended period from 15 May to 30 June 2026, after which trading results will be reported on a calendar month basis. This change aims to provide clearer financial alignment and facilitate more consistent performance tracking.

This update follows the company’s earlier trading report from March 2026, which detailed a seasonal sales slump with A$213,000 in gross sales for month ten but maintained a steady demand profile despite challenges. The current rebound in sales highlights the seasonal nature of BPH’s operations and the importance of weather conditions in driving supply and trading volumes.

Meanwhile, BPH’s ongoing collaborations and development initiatives, including partnerships to advance seaweed-based nutraceuticals and expand cultivation sites near Makassar, provide additional context for the company’s growth trajectory and operational expansion in Indonesia.
