The Department of Agriculture in Thailand has introduced a new red sesame seed variety, named "Ubon Ratchathani 3", which has been developed to provide higher yields and oil content than previous varieties. This new variety is expected to increase the country's sesame production to meet market demand and offer more sustainable income to farmers. The new variety is resistant to opioid insect pests and yields an average of 216 kg/rai, higher than the previous varieties. It is expected to generate additional income for farmers throughout the year.
