Sesame seeds are one of the oldest oilseed crops in the world with well-documented health benefits. They are rich in B vitamins and key minerals like magnesium, zinc, and iron, they help reduce cholesterol and blood pressure and may help in reducing oxidative stress.
Sesame consumption is increasing with rising focus on health & wellness across the world, particularly in North-East Asia. With Special Preferential Treatment (SPT) for import, China’s imports originating from Africa are surging.
The same trend can be seen in Japan, USA, and Europe. As the consumer demand continues to rise for this healthy seed, ETG is strengthening its portfolio to maintain its position as the preferred supplier of quality sesame.
