Sesame seeds are the oldest cultivated oilseeds. Serving as one of the most valuable agricultural commodities today, these powerhouses of taste and nutrition have been a vital part of global culinary traditions for many centuries. In fact, their rich history dates back to ancient civilizations like Egyptians, Assyrians, and Babylonians. Around 5,000 years ago, the Chinese people used sesame seeds to create ink blocks. While in ancient Egypt, they were used as grain flour. These tiny yet popular seeds also have symbolic importance in several cultures. They even symbolize abundance and longevity in some Asian cultures. Talking about their role in the current global trade landscape, they continue to hold strong relevance due to their consistently rising demand across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, and North America. International sesame seeds buyers actively look for suppliers who can offer the best quality sesame seeds at a competitive price.
As mentioned earlier, sesame seeds are one of the highly demanded commodities. It is because of their nutritional profile, shelf stability, and versatile applications across food, oil, and health industries. Do you know that sesame seeds come packed with protein, essential vitamins and minerals, fiber, and healthy fats? Besides, more consumers are today becoming aware of these health benefits of sesame seeds, which is further adding to the demand. The globalization of food culture and increasing preference for sesame-based products also play a key role. It is important to note that Indian sesame seeds are quite popular in international markets due to their superior quality, varieties, well-established agricultural and supply chain infrastructure (especially in Indian states like Gujarat, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, and Madhya Pradesh), and of course, competitive pricing.
Moreover, the strategic location and well-connected ports of India help facilitate bulk sesame seeds exports to other countries.As per FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization), India, Myanmar, Sudan, Tanzania, and China are the five leading producers of sesame seeds, accounting for over 75% of the global production. As a supplier or exporter, you need to understand who the major sesame seed importers are. These typically include large-scale food processors who use sesame seeds in bakery, confectionery, sauces, and snack formulations; cosmetic and personal care brands that value the skin benefits of sesame; organic product distributors sourcing non-GMO and pesticide-free seeds; and retail importers catering to health-conscious consumers.
Exporters commonly deal in two broad sesame seed varieties, hulled & unhulled sesame seeds.
