📊 Global Sesame Market Outlook: Rising Demand and Weather Challenges Ahead
The global sesame market is witnessing significant shifts, with key producing regions like India and Pakistan playing pivotal roles in shaping the market dynamics. As per the IOPEPC Summer Sesame Crop Survey 2025, India's sesame acreage in Gujarat is set to expand by 7.8%, reaching 124,232 hectares. This increase is expected to boost production to 128,626 MT, a 4.1% rise from the previous year. However, a decline in yield per hectare poses potential challenges. Meanwhile, Pakistan's ongoing sowing season and substantial exports amounting to 254,686 MT reflect robust activity in the sector. The European Union, a major importer, is experiencing moderate price hikes due to increased local consumption and international demand, compounded by logistical challenges. Weather variability in Africa's sesame-producing regions could further impact yields and market stability.
