As we approach the mid-year point, the global sesame market is experiencing several notable shifts across pricing, supply, and demand. From tax policy changes in Brazil to shifting consumption trends in Asia, here’s a snapshot of what’s shaping the market this week:
🔍 Key Highlights:
🇧🇷 Brazil: The newly implemented FETHAB export tax is increasing costs, despite a strong-quality crop expected in the upcoming harvest.
📉 Global oversupply and large Chinese inventories continue to push prices down. However, the market is beginning to show signs of stabilization.
📊 Demand remains steady but varies by region:
Rising in China and Japan, where strict pesticide and quality controls are in place.
Weak in Turkey due to high local inventories and cautious buying.
Organic and premium sesame are gaining global traction, especially in markets that value traceability and sustainability.
