Due to high temperature, black sesame seed production decreases in Myanmar

In the Sittaung region of Myanmar, the drought and high temperature have decreased the production of black sesame. Normally, one acre produces 180-250 kg of sesame. But some sesame plants died in July due to high temperature, and thus it only produced an average of 60-80 kg per acres. The market price also increased from MMK 45,000 to MMK 65,000 per 25 kg.
