Stay updated with the latest Sesame prices, historical data, and tailored regional analysis
In India, the average Sesame price was USD 123/MT (EXW) in June. China recorded an average price of USD 191/MT (CIF) during June. Indian conditions remained weak during April and May as new crop arrivals increased across major producing states while export demand stayed subdued. India’s sesame exports during January-February were nearly 20% lower year on year, indicating weak overseas buying entering the quarter. Sentiment improved during June as slower Kharif sowing raised concerns over future availability and encouraged wholesalers and stockists to increase purchases. China remained comparatively well supplied, with high inventories and stronger African arrivals limiting upward pressure despite steady consumption. In the USA, Sesame averaged USD 242/MT (CIF) in June. U.S. landed conditions remained firmer because of import, freight and distribution costs, while global availability from African and Asian origins remained adequate.
Analyst Insight

Sesame market sentiment remained subdued during Q1’26 due to abundant inventories and cautious downstream buying across major importing regions. In Asia, China continued dominating global trade activity, with Qingdao port sesame inventories rising to nearly 320,000 metric tons during February 2026 before easing later as processor procurement stayed slow amid sufficient supply availability. Indian market conditions remained comparatively balanced as summer sesame sowing increased nearly 20% year-on-year, reinforcing expectations of comfortable future supply. At the same time, weaker Chinese buying activity and elevated inventory levels limited stronger market recovery despite stable downstream consumption. Export competition also intensified as suppliers focused on clearing existing inventories amid soft international demand conditions. Downstream demand from edible oil manufacturing, tahini processing, bakery products, confectionery, and snack industries remained stable across Asia, Europe, and North America, although procurement largely stayed need-based due to cautious consumer sentiment.
Analyst Insight
According to Procurement Resource, sesame prices are expected to remain stable to weak as elevated inventories and improving crop availability continue outweighing moderate downstream demand recovery.
