Global Sesame Supply
We produce natural sesame for use in oil crushing, sortex and sesame powder, as well as hulled sesame for commercial baking and condiments.
We know customers expect quality produce, and our in-house product testing programmes, and our Aflatoxin testing factory in Africa mean we can give our customers confidence thanks to our rigorous safety and quality protocols. Our farming and processing operations adhere to international food safety standards, and we work directly with our sesame farmers to improve their yields, quality, and incomes. Our strong origin and processing footprint means that we can provide up-to-date market information, pricing and stable supply.
Sesame Processing Capabilities
For hulled or edible grade sesame used as ingredients in kitchens & bakeries, we’ve established mechanised processing plants. Most sesame is harvested manually and separated from their husks using traditional methods. Seeds produced this way can contain impurities, so we’ve set up multiple primary cleaning centres to guarantee clean sesame.
Sesame Certification
In Nigeria, we process sesame to meet the highest food safety standards our global customers expect. We have a custom-designed processing plant at Sagamu, Nigeria, which meets both FSSC 22000 and ISO 45000 – 2018 certification.
Sustainable Sesame Production
As part of our ongoing commitment to both sustainability and innovation, the technology the plant uses has decreased water consumption by up to 95%. Dry hulling also increases food safety, as contaminated water is the source of most potential pathogens.
Partnering for Success
With stringent quality checks in place, we’re able to source with traceability from both small and large-scale sesame farmers. We have a strong partnership network, with procurement offices in Africa and India. Our experience in sustainability programme management and strategic partnerships with government agencies, NGOs and the larger farming community, helps us keep our sesame eco-system up to speed with relevant information, expertise and developing technology to improve yields, quality and incomes.
