Sesame Market Analysis.
1、 Sesame production situation and market trend
Since 2020, China's sesame imports have exceeded 1 million tons for three consecutive years, mainly from African countries such as Nigeria, Niger, Sudan, Togo, and Mozambique. These countries have high-quality sesame varieties and low prices, which are highly favored by the downstream sesame industry in China. It is expected that sesame imports will continue to be mainly from African sesame producing countries in the future.
2、 Distribution of sesame industry chain
The upstream of the sesame industry chain is mainly sesame planting, while the midstream is mainly sesame picking. There are many downstream industries, mainly Sesame oil, feed fertilizer, industrial and pharmaceutical, and catering markets. After picking sesame seeds and before flowing into downstream markets, it is necessary to clean and process them, classify and remove impurities. Then, different grades of processed sesame seeds are screened and further processed and produced in corresponding downstream markets.
3、 Current Situation of Sesame Industry in China
Since 2015, the sesame planting area and sesame yield in China have shown an upward trend. In 2021, China's sesame export volume was 38400 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 13.12%. The import volume of sesame in China is much higher than the export volume, indicating a high demand for sesame in the Chinese market. The local sesame production in China is not sufficient to meet market demand, so a large part of it relies on imports.
With the implementation of the township revitalization strategy and policy support for the development of characteristic industries, sesame production and planting area will continue to increase; With the improvement of national consumption level, the demand for sesame and other foods is also constantly increasing. The continuous development of the sesame industry chain will lead China's sesame industry to standardization, processing to branding, and the market volume of China's sesame industry will continue to grow in the future.
