  • How many sesame seeds are produced in Africa?
  • In 2019, approximately 4 million metric tons of the flowering plant were produced. Production volume of sesame seeds in Africa as of 2020, by country (in metric tons). Source: Statista Additionally, the West Africa region has witnessed a notable increase in sesame seed exports. From US$16.6 million in 2000 to US$700 million in 2019.
  • How has global sesame production changed over the past 60 years?
  • In the past 60 years, global sesame production has substantially increased, with Asia and Africa being the primary producers. The integration of omics technologies and biotechnological interventions has revolutionized our understanding of the genetic basis of sesame, enhanced productivity, invigorated stress resilience, and improved seed quality.
  • Which countries produce the most sesame oil in the world?
  • This growth is attributed to factors such as rising demand for sesame oil and improved farming practices. Asia has supplied most of the world's sesame for the past 60 years (Fig. 2). But since 2012, Africa has been the top producer, with 56.8% of global production (FAOSTAT 2024).
  • Does Africa need a Sesame industry?
  • While Africa is showing a strong presence in the sesame field, only 20-30% of Africa¡¯s total agricultural produce revolves around this sector. So, there is plenty of room for development, especially due to the growing international demand.
  • Is there room for development in the global sesame seeds market?
  • So, there is plenty of room for development, especially due to the growing international demand. The global sesame seeds market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 2.3% in the forecast period between 2022 and 2027. It¡¯s crucial that the rising demand is met with sustainable production.
  • How to improve sesame seed yield?
  • Key traits such as early flowering, plant height, fruiting zone length, number of primary branches, capsule length, 1000-seed weight, shatter-resistant capsules, seed weight per plant, and seed oil content play an important role in improving sesame seed yield (Zhou et al., 2018; Baraki et al., 2020; Wang et al., 2024).
