Pakistan has witnessed an unprecedented surge in its Sesamum seed exports, reaching an all-time high of USD 113.66 million just in October 2023.
The surge not only underscores the nation’s prowess in the agricultural sector but also highlights its ability to capitalize on global market demands, said Ghulam Qadir Commercial Counsellor Pakistan Embassy, Gwadar Pro reported on Tuesday.
Ghulam Qadir said that the Sesamum seed industry continues to thrive, experts attribute this remarkable achievement to a combination of favorable climatic conditions, strategic agricultural policies, and adept market positioning.
This surge in exports not only reflects positively on Pakistan’s economy but also positions the country as a key player in the international Sesamum seed market. “In the first ten months of 2023, Pakistan’s sesame seed exports to China increased 100% amounting to USD 170.06 million, whereas last year in the same period (January-October) it was USD 84.67 million worth of sesame seed Pakistan exported to China.
