  • Is Sesame a good crop in Nigeria?
  • Well, the sesame plant is a versatile crop that thrives quite well in the Northern part of Nigeria due to its drought resistant ability. Notwithstanding, it also grows in some other parts of the country like the South East and South South zones of the country. However, too much rainfall can adversely affect the yield.
  • How many sesame seeds are produced in Nigeria?
  • Globally, over 4.8 million tonnes of sesame seeds are produced annually. Nigeria has the capacity to meet this production rate yet the country produces just a little over 300 000 tonnes annually. This volume makes Nigeria the second largest producer of sesame seeds in Africa and the seventh in the world.
  • How long does Sesame take to grow in Nigeria?
  • Sesame takes approximately 4-5 months to reach maturity. The seeds are harvested when 50% of its capsules turn yellow. If you delay harvest, seeds may be too fragile leading to shattering and loss of yield. A sickle is used to cut the stem. Generally, the process of harvesting and processing sesame in Nigeria is a manual one.
