- Is Sesame a good crop in Nigeria?
- Well, the sesame plant is a versatile crop that thrives quite well in the Northern part of Nigeria due to its drought resistant ability. Notwithstanding, it also grows in some other parts of the country like the South East and South South zones of the country. However, too much rainfall can adversely affect the yield.
- What is the sesame seed business in Nigeria?
- The sesame seed business in Nigeria is dominated by many small holder farmers. These farmers have contributed significantly to the country’s position as a global exporter of sesame seeds. Nigeria produces about 120,000 tons of sesame seed annually. Major producing states include BORNO, TARABA, JIGAWA, KANO, NASSARAWA, YOBE, BENUE, and PLATEAU.
- Where are sesame seeds grown in Nigeria?
- Currently, there are 26 sesame-growing states in Nigeria; some of these include Ebonyi, Delta, Jigawa, Bauchi, Nassarawa, Benue and Taraba. The market for sesame seeds is quite vast with Japan and China as the major importers of these seeds. Countries like Turkey, India, Poland and Netherlands have also traded with Nigeria in the past.
- How long does Sesame take to grow in Nigeria?
- Sesame takes approximately 4-5 months to reach maturity. The seeds are harvested when 50% of its capsules turn yellow. If you delay harvest, seeds may be too fragile leading to shattering and loss of yield. A sickle is used to cut the stem. Generally, the process of harvesting and processing sesame in Nigeria is a manual one.
