The global sesame market held steady over the past week, with ample supply and cautious buying activity. Major importing countries continue to diversify their sourcing strategies, while producing regions face challenges from weather conditions and logistics costs.
🔍 Key Highlights:
📉 Prices remain stable with mild downward pressure due to ample global supply and cautious buying sentiment.
🌍 India’s dominance challenged as buyers like South Korea shift toward African origins and Pakistan amid diversification trends.
🇨🇳 China’s high inventory (~300,000 MT) and tariff-free preference for African sesame continue to weigh on non-African competitiveness.
đź’¬ Our Take:
The sesame market shows steady but cautious signals. While prices hold, soft demand and ample supply are creating slight downward pressure. India’s dominance is being tested as Korea and other buyers increasingly turn to Pakistan and Africa. With key crop areas stable for now, weather and freight trends will be critical in coming weeks.
