Top 10 sesame seed exporters
A report from the World Food Program revealed a trend toward developing sesame seed processing technology to increase usage rates in response to rising demand. Sesame is an ancient oilseed crop cultivated in arid regions, containing a high oil content (50-63%) and protein (25-27%). It is known for numerous health benefits, including reducing cancer risk due to its vitamins and anti-tumor compounds. Globally, sesame seed production in 2024 reached approximately 6.7 million tons, with the largest producing countries being India, Sudan, Myanmar, and Nigeria. India accounts for about 13% of worldwide production. Sudan is among the major exporters but has seen a decline since 2023 due to war, resulting in reduced market share and diminished output. China is the largest importer of sesame, followed by Turkey and Japan. Saudi Arabia is also among the top Arab importers. Worldwide demand for sesame is increasing, and it is widely used in the production of healthy foods, cosmetics, and medicines, with a trend toward processing and value addition for export alternatives.
