ALL AGRI #Sesame Seeds Market Update

FARMERS have sold 2 million kilogrammes (kg) of sesame seeds, with the Zambezi Valley catchment leading both the production and sales volume of the crop since the marketing season commenced mid-last month. This surge in sales coincides with calls from contractors advocating for an increase in production of the crop to meet the growing demand from international markets, with countries like Turkey, India and China topping the list. Sesame is increasingly recognised as a key export commodity with the potential to generate substantial foreign currency for Zimbabwe.
