Sudanese sesame is renowned globally for its exceptional quality and high oil content. It is considered one of Sudan's most important cash crops and a significant export commodity. The country is among the top producers and exporters of sesame in the world. The primary growing areas are concentrated in the clay plains of central Sudan and the irrigated schemes along the Nile. Sudanese sesame is predominantly the white-seeded variety which is highly prized in international markets for its purity and rich, nutty flavor. The cultivation cycle relies mainly on rainfall making it a key crop for rain-fed agriculture. This sector faces challenges such as traditional farming methods and fluctuations in annual production due to climatic variability. Despite these challenges sesame remains a vital source of income for millions of Sudanese farmers and a cornerstone of the agricultural economy with major export markets in Asia and the Middle East.
