Tridge summary

Since the end of July, sesame prices in Myanmar have been on a steady rise, with black sesame reaching a record high of over 680,000 Kyats per bag. This increase is attributed to strong purchasing power, reduced inventory of cold-season sesame, and planting area damage due to July floods, which have led to a decreased yield. As a result, the market is actively trading hot-season sesame. The prices in the Mandalay market on August 15 were 600,000-680,000 Kyats for black sesame, 470,000-475,000 Kyats for white sesame, and 380,000-390,000 Kyats for brown sesame, all showing an increase of over 60,000 Kyats per bag compared to the previous month.
