SESAME SEEDS
Sesame seeds, known for their high oil content and protein-rich seeds, are cultivated in approximately 70 countries worldwide. In Pakistan, sesame is grown in about 65 districts as both an irrigated and rain crop, primarily in the provinces of Punjab, Sindh, NWFP, and Baluchistan. It is a highly regarded oilseed crop with protein content that can reach up to 22.0%, making it one of the finest oil crops. Sesame seeds typically contain oil in the range of 50-58%.
These seeds have a wide range of applications beyond raw food consumption. They are used in various sweets, bakery products, soaps, perfumes, vegetable oils, and even carbon paper due to their fragrant smell. Sesame is an ancient and traditional oilseed crop with a significant presence in international markets.
In Pakistan, over 29,000 tons of sesame seeds were produced in 2018, cultivated in an area covering 176,000 acres. The sesame seed export business in 2019 reached a remarkable 366 million tons valued at Rs. 9,000 million. Prominent areas for sesame cultivation in Pakistan include Gujrat, Gujranwala, Attock, Bhakkar, and Faisalabad in Punjab.
