Agro Products › Sesame Seeds

Product Overview

Our sesame seeds are machine-cleaned and colour-sorted to remove stones, dust and immature seeds, giving a uniform, bright product. Natural whitish seeds are prized for oil extraction and tahini, while mechanically hulled seeds serve the bakery and confectionery trade. High oil content and low free fatty acid make the seed well suited to pressing.

We handle both spot volumes and scheduled contracts, and can prepare seed to a buyer’s specific purity, oil content and admixture requirement.

Applications

Sesame seeds are pressed for premium edible oil, ground into tahini and halva, and used across bakery, confectionery and snack manufacturing as toppings and inclusions. Hulled seed is common in burger buns, breadsticks and Asian cuisine, while the oil is valued in cooking and cosmetics.

Packaging & Loading

Seeds are packed in new 25 kg or 50 kg PP or paper bags, palletised or loaded loose to maximise container weight. Loadability and net weights are confirmed on the proforma invoice for each order.

Quality & Compliance

Each lot is cleaned, sortex-graded and tested for purity, moisture and oil content, and packed under food-safety controls with a certificate of analysis. Phytosanitary and origin certificates are provided, and pre-shipment inspection can be added on request.

Export Markets

We export sesame seeds to Asia, Europe, the UAE and Africa through the ports of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, supplying both trial containers and recurring monthly programmes.

Sourcing & Quality Assurance

Behind every shipment is a sourcing network built over years of working with farmers, cooperatives and processors across the region. We select each lot for condition and consistency, then clean, grade and condition it to the standard your market expects. Because we follow the crop from field to port, we can hold quality steady across repeat orders and give buyers the confidence to plan their own production with certainty.

Food safety and traceability sit at the centre of how we operate. Consignments are prepared under hygienic conditions, tested against the agreed specification, and documented with a certificate of analysis and certificate of origin. Where a destination requires extra paperwork — phytosanitary certificates, fumigation records or health certificates — we arrange it as part of the order so clearance at the other end is smooth.

Logistics & Long-Term Partnership

Reliable delivery is what turns a first order into a lasting relationship. We coordinate packing, container loading and shipment from the ports of Mombasa and Dar es Salaam, and keep you updated at each milestone so there are no surprises. Whether you need a single trial container of Sesame Seeds or a scheduled monthly programme, our team structures pricing, payment and delivery around the way your business actually runs.
