The world sesame seed market is a billion * industry that supports the livelihoods of millions of farmers throughout the world. Next to coffee, sesame seed is the second largest export earner for Ethiopia, involving more than 600, 000 small-holder farmers in its production throughout the nation.Ethiopia produces large varieties of sesame seed, among which the Humera, Gondor and Welega type are well-known in the world market. Owing to their white color, sweet taste and aroma, the Humera and Gondar sesame seeds are suitable for bakery and confectionary purposes. On the other hand, the high oil content of the Welega sesame seed gives it a major competitive advantage for edible oil production.Before we planned to export our product, we were engaged on producing welega sesame seed.
