Sesame Seed Price in India Decreased by 17.72% MoM Due to Weak Exports and Local Consumption

The wholesale price of sesame seed in Baran, Rajasthan, India, decreased by 17.72% MoM to USD 1.30/kg in W3 due to weak exports, especially from the Chinese market, as Chinese buyers are increasingly sourcing sesame seeds from Tanzania. In addition, the low local demand and limited trade activities further depressed sesame seed prices in India. However, concerns about global supply due to the conflicts in Sudan and Yemen may lead to a rebound in prices in the short term.
