Farmer Market Agent LBA Exporter Market-Structure • Kano is the business hub for sesame • Most of industry players have their mother warehouses in Kano where they do their primary processing. • Most of their purchase is delivered Kano warehouse. • Kano zone 80% of goods are traded in primary markets while in middle belt only 60% is traded in primary markets.

  5. PRODUCTION TRENDS - NIGERIA

  6. Crop And Market Trends • Crop Has been increasing steadily over the years • Support from Trade houses like Olam into destinations • Shift of Turkey from Ethiopia and Sudan to Nigeria as a source of Sesame • Exports of Nigerian Sesame to other destinations. • Value added products from Nigeria • Hulled Sesame • Sorted Sesame • Industry getting mature aiding more local value addition and processing

  7. OUTLOOK – NIEGRIA SESAME • Opportunities • Well accepted in most of the markets as a crushing grade • Consistent increase in volumes from the Origin • Better seed research and development can take up this business • Better varieties for hulling • Better oil content • Pest and Disease resistant varieties • Challenges • Consistency of the crop quality • Logistics challenges has been a serious challenge • Inland Logistics • Port Efficiencies • Socio political unrest – Doubts on stability in delivery

  8. TANZANIA SESAME- DISTRIBUTION

  9. PRODUCTION TRENDS - TANZANIA INCREASE IN LAND UNDER CULTIVATION RESULTING IN CONTINUOUSLY INCREASING CROP SIZE Creating value is our business

  11. VARIETIES OF SESAME FROM TANZANIA • Tanzania Mixed – Oil content 50-52% Mixed seeds • Produced in the Dodoma/Morogoro Regions • Tanzania South – Oil Content 52% More whitish Bold Seeds • Produced in the Mtwara /Lindi Regions • Tanzania White – Oil content 52% and whitish Seeds • Production in Tanzania has been going up consistently because of the • Increase in the Acreage of the crop- Fresh areas under cultivation • More farmers planting sesame due to consistent prices. • Warehouse Receipt System in Lindi Region in South for Sesame

  12. CROP AND INDUSTRY OUTLOOK • China Emerging as a major destination market for Crushing grade • Dominance of Japan been reduced over the last 5 years • Issues with crop quality in terms of inconstant oil content in mixed variety • South Variety emerging as a prominent grade in China • Whitish variety selectively marketed. • Crop volumes on the rise • Steady markets at 1150-1300 $/Mt Range over last 3-4 years ( Except for 2008-2009) • Crop production costs gone up over the last few years. • CAN BE A STEADY SUPPLIER OF MIXED SESAME • Crop improvement programs needed to Support consistent quality

  13. SESAME CROP DEVELOPMENTROLE FOR INDUSTRY

  14. Industry Interventions – Sesame Crop Outgrowers’ Programme Extension Programme • Objective: Improving productivity in the conventional growing areas • Facilitating access to better quality seeds, other farming inputs • Training on the best farming practices • Demonstrating higher yields in Model farms to imbibe a culture of best farming practices, thus to improve yields of the entire growing area • Objective: Improving production of the crop • Distributing better variety seeds in areas adjacent to the conventional growing areas • Distributing ‘Package of Best Farming Practices’ to these areas to create awareness of the productivity • Ensuring markets for the new areas for sustainability
