  • Does Sudan produce Sesame seeds?
  • The state has been referred to as the country’s breadbasket, producing 62,000 tonnes of sesame seeds in the 2016 -2017 market year alone, the largest output of all Sudanese states. Gedarif is known to use imported labor, mainly from neighboring Ethiopia, especially during the sesame harvest season.
  • How long do sesame seeds take to grow in Sudan?
  • The harvest lasts 85 days, with the plant having grown 20 to 60 inches after planting, in the drier months of September and October. Due to Sudan’s extreme heat, the time to maturation is shorter than the 90 to 120 days assumed for most commercial sesame seeds. Pests are a major issue plaguing Sudan’s sesame seed production.
  • Why are there pests in Sudan's sesame seeds?
  • Pests are a major issue plaguing Sudan’s sesame seed production. The lygaeid bug, or sesame seed bug—found prominently in the clay soils of central Sudan—depletes the seed’s oil content thus reducing overall quality and quantity. Of the seeds that make it to harvest, losses may occur from poor threshing and storage.
  • Where is sesame oil grown in Myanmar?
  • Production takes place exclusively in Mandalay, Magway, and Sagaing Regions located in the central dry zone of Myanmar. The climatic conditions of those areas favor the cultivation of edible oil crops and it is also known as “Myanmar’s Oil Bowl”. Sesame can be planted and harvested throughout the year.
