Sudan is one of the world’s leading producers of sesame seeds, renowned for their high oil content and quality. Sesame is a vital cash crop in the country, primarily cultivated in the rain-fed regions of Gedaref, Blue Nile, White Nile, Kordofan, and Darfur. The crop plays a significant role in the livelihoods of smallholder farmers and is a major contributor to Sudan’s export earnings. Despite its importance, the sesame industry faces challenges such as fluctuating global market prices, traditional farming methods, and limited access to modern agricultural inputs. Efforts to enhance productivityinclude introducing improved seed varieties, adopting better farming practices, and investing in infrastructure development to support the sesame value chain.
