Sesame is one of the highest-value oilseeds grown in the region, with established export channels to Asia and the Middle East as well as steady domestic demand. It thrives in Northern Uganda's conditions and adds a premium export dimension to our portfolio.
East African sesame is sought after by buyers in Asia and the Gulf for oil pressing, tahini and confectionery. Domestic and regional oil pressers provide a reliable secondary market, giving the crop resilient, diversified demand.
