These tiny white seeds are rich in nutrition, proteins and carbohydrates. They are extensively used for oil, confectionaries and as flavour enhancers to various dishes. Sesame seeds are bought on basis of their purity. India has the distinction of supplying the best 99.9% purity produce for natural and hulled quality of sesame seeds. Out of the total production of 9,00,000 MT p.a., it is the seeds from Gujarat which have the highest demand in the global market. Today India exports 90 - 95,000 MT p.a., with Turkey as the single largest buyer. Egypt, Syria, and other Mediterranean markets are slowly opening up, with the traditional supply from Sudan trickling off. Besides these, the other potential markets are Holland, CIS nations, Far East, Gulf and Jordan. In the West, India already offers its buyers a huge cost advantage.
