  • Why is the Sesame sector better organized in Mali than Senegal?
  • The sesame sector is better organized in Mali, which positively impacts on the seasonal production and yield of sesame. As a result, a farmer¡¯s total income from sesame production is higher in Mali than in Senegal. This implies that the sesame sector is more developed in Mali, which should lead to the rapid development of the sector.
  • Do Mali farmers earn more from Sesame than Senegal farmers?
  • Farmers in Mali earned significantly higher incomes (more than double) from sesame production than farmers in Senegal (p = 0.001). The following table shows the average sesame market prices ($/kg) and average seasonal incomes per farmer per Ha in the four regions.
  • Is Sesame a resilient crop in West Africa?
  • Background: West Africa¡¯s Sahel is characterized by a dry and hot climate with limited rainfall that impairs the production of several crops. Sesame is a resilient crop that is well suited to this environment. Unfortunately, there is a lack of data relative to the status of its production in West Africa.
  • Could sesame be a cash crop in West Africa?
  • In West Africa's Sahel region, sesame production faces the main challenge of lack of reliable markets and considerable price fluctuations for seed marketing. However, the sesame sector is progressively developing, and sesame could become an important cash crop for smallholders. In both Senegal and Mali, this is the case.
