WEST AFRICA SESAME SEEDS ARE VERY GOOD IN TERMS OF NUTRITIONAL VALUES AND PURITY
In an interview, sesame seed expert Mr Benzo Elverir explains the major advantage why his company prefers to buy sesame seeds from various countries in West Africa.
1)
Oliver, www.bellacoola.de:
Mr Benzo, you are one of the major producers of high quality sesame seeds in West Africa. Sesame seeds are available from many countries around the globe. Why do you prefer to purchase sesame seeds from West Africa and in which countries exactly are you active?
Benzo Elverir, www.afriainvestco.com:
We prefer to buy sesame seeds in West Africa (e.g. Gambia, Senegal, Mali) because, in our experience, sesame seeds actually have one of the highest oil contents of up to 53%. The production methods used in West Africa are also ecologically harmless, even though the labour input is of course very high. At the same time, we want to give local farmers the opportunity to live and work here in better circumstances and also to stay here and not abandon the local sesame production processes.
2)
Oliver:
Are very diverse with your company, you advise companies from all over the world regarding investment in Africa and at the same time you also have a team of experts in your West African crew AIC agriculture. How has the market for sesame seeds from West Africa developed?
Benzo:
Indeed, the market for sesame products is dynamic and has grown more and more in recent years. People all over the world have realised that sesame seeds and the products with sesame seeds are healthier than wheat, for example. We continue to expect increasing demand, try to buy more and high quality sesame seeds and offer them at competitive prices on the world market.
3)
Oliver:
Mr. Benzo, you have your own sesame seed factory and can clean up to 4 tons of sesame seeds per hour and package them according to quality levels. Who are their buyers and do you see other markets for their high quality agricultural products in Europe?
Benzo:
Our main markets for cleaned and controlled sesame seed buyers are in Turkey, all countries of Europe, Middle East and Asia.4)
Oliver:
So what are the current market situations for sesame seeds from Africa? Is the demand for this quite surprisingly healthy natural product growing?
Benzo:
We cannot buy as many sesame seeds as we could sell. It is particularly important to us that we can deliver reliable quality and the benchmark is the oil content of the sesame seeds. Of course, we are constantly on the lookout for reliable farmers and are planning a mutually beneficial contractual arrangement in this respect. We know that the cultivation and harvesting of the sesame seeds is very time-consuming and this of course also determines the price structure. In Europe or Turkey, over 2000 US dollars per tonne of sesame seeds are paid, and rightly so.
5)
Oliver:
You sell your products exclusively in the B2B sector and are considered one of the highest-profile experts in West Africa for high-quality agricultural products. Suppose a company from Europe or other areas of the world wants to contact you now, up to how many tons of sesame seeds can you deliver within a month? And how do they guarantee that the customers in Europe, Turkey or other parts of the world will also receive the promised quality?
Benzo:
We can actually deliver almost all quantities that are required. However, consistent quality is very important to us and we take the greatest care in quality control. The product sesame oil has indeed not yet arrived everywhere on the world market, but its value is becoming increasingly known and this will also stimulate long-term demand….
6)
Oliver:
What price level are we talking about per ton of purified and quality sesame seeds, what is the cost of the corresponding sesame seeds in their quality levels in the main markets in Europe and Asia?
Benzo:
Since the demand for healthy and nutritious sesame seeds has increased in recent years and not all countries of origin can supply the best qualities, the market price in Europe, the Middle East and Turkey for the best sesame seed qualities is well over 2000 US dollars per tonne. The transport of the goods has to be particularly monitored in terms of quality; no moisture or water may get to the cleaned sesame seeds. This also makes transport very complex and therefore expensive.
Oliver:
What growth rates do you anticipate for MADE IN AFRICA sesame seeds markets by 2030? What markets will you develop by the end of the decade?
Benzo:
In fact, word has spread to the world market that sesame seeds from West Africa are particularly oil-rich and nutritious. We expect demand from West Africa to more than double and we now need to develop a strategic plan with farmers on how to meet this demand without compromising on organic farming and also on the quality of the product ’sesame seed‘. More and more countries will buy sesame seeds and sesame products, because the value of sesame seeds for human health cannot be overestimated.
Oliver:
Thank you Mr Benzo very much for the interview.
