The sesame harvest is advanced, and the drought has caused the sesame price to skyrocket. The drought is getting worse day by day, in such a way that consecutive four days with more than 40°C without rain were reported. The sources of fire have spread throughout the national territory, putting the entire region at risk. The strong and dry winds cause the ashes to spread throughout the territory, generating a constant state of alert. Though the sesame collectors are worried about this situation, they hope to have a clear picture of the available volume for this year by the end of January.
