China’s Sesame Market: Production, Consumption, and Import Trends

China is one of the world’s largest producers and consumers of sesame seeds. However, domestic production falls short of demand, leading to significant imports. In recent years, China’s annual sesame output has hovered around 600,000–700,000 tons, while consumption exceeds 1 million tons, creating a reliance on imports from Africa and Asia.

According to CCOBN Business Network’s Sesame Channel, as of May 23 (Week 21, Friday), domestic sesame prices remained stable with limited trading activity. Market transactions stayed at yearly lows, with Qingdao Port recording a net outflow of 1,088 tons in a single day. If this trend continues, the port’s inventory could theoretically decline by 9,787 tons by the end of the month.

The current market reflects subdued demand, with buyers maintaining cautious procurement. The Qingdao Port situation—where outflows exceed inflows—suggests tightening supply, which may influence future price movements. Traders are closely monitoring import volumes and domestic stock levels for signs of a market shift.

For global suppliers, China’s persistent import demand presents opportunities, but short-term fluctuations in port activity indicate a wait-and-see approach among buyers. Stay updated on CCOBN for real-time sesame market insights.
