Sesame Seeds

We source sesame from small- and large-scale farmers, cooperatives, and collectors in all major growing regions in the country. We employ the traditional methods to separate the seeds from their husks after they are harvested. Seeds produced this way can contain impurities, so we’ve set up primary cleaning centres in Kano Region to guarantee clean sesame. We have the capacity to buy and process 25,000 MTS of sesame in a season. Also provides Hulled Sesame and 99.9% colour sortex sesame.
