Where do local farmers sells their sesame.... Are there some companies specifically for buying them? Kindly lead me sir.

[@ERICKKUMARI]

Company hire middlemen to collect the sesame in the field to reach a certain volume and there's auction market for sesame too, where buyers and companies bid the price per kg.

[@robshaqfarmslimited8138]

Eric is there a post emergent for sesame?

[@ERICKKUMARI]

Brooooo.... Sesame expert!

[@ERICKKUMARI]

I'm still learning, bro! I wish near future to explore more potential of sesame and became like you in the area palm oil!

Realistically speaking, and considering all factors. Lets say as an example Uncle Joe has 10 acres of land. How many laborers does it require from start to finish and what will be his profit per acre if he can have 400kg yield per acre at a selling price of $1.18 p kg

[@ERICKKUMARI]

Taking all factors into account, with an average yield of 3,000 kg from 10 acres, a production cost of Tsh 4,000,000, and an average selling price of Tsh 3,000 per kg (totaling Tsh 9,000,000 in sales), the profit amounts to Tsh 5,000,000. This results in a Return on Investment (ROI) of 125%.

Hello Bro. Amazing job you are doing. How can I buy the tanzania seed variety in bulk for planting? .I’m from Kenya. Looking forward to your reply

[@ERICKKUMARI]

The simplest approach is to hire someone to gather them on your behalf. Alternatively, you could opt to place an order with establishments that sell sesame seeds.

[@opeyemitemitope8890]

Pls which herbicide can i use for weeding Sesame

[@ERICKKUMARI]

Pre-emergency herbicide that works better!

[@opeyemitemitope8890]

@@ERICKKUMARI Can you recommend one for me

[@ERICKKUMARI]

First of all you should clear understand what is Pre-emergence herbicide ? When we say pre-emegency herbicide we refers to the type of herbicide applied to soil before weed seeds germinate. Therefore we apply this pre-emegency herbicide (Roundup/Glysophate) after the seed crops have been planted. For sesame once you plant you will need to apply herbicide right away and not more than 3 days. Because after that the seeds expected to be germinated so the herbicide once it contact with shoot, it will kill everything! Here timing is everything otherwise you will kill all the plant, I mean you will kill all the plant once the herbicide touch or contact the shoot or leaves. Precautions For sesame crops, it's essential to apply this pre-emergency herbicide immediately after planting and within three days at most. Once the seeds are sown, any delay beyond this timeframe risks germination, making the herbicide lethal to the emerging shoots and leaves upon contact. Timing is paramount in herbicide application to ensure effective weed management without harming the desired plants.

How much costs for 1 acre? How much profit from 1 acre?

[@ERICKKUMARI]

Cost of production differ, however you can get 200kg - 300kg/acre in a regular basis, with GAP some farmers(big )have recorded the high yield of 300kg-600kg/acre. From the experience of last year farmers sold 1kg to 1.18 $.

China buys an enormous % of Tanzanian sesame oil, and China is collapsing. Demand for sesame has fallen off a cliff and this guy knows it.

[@ERICKKUMARI]

Sesame has a booming global demand, with potential buyers from diverse markets like China , America, Europe and with Africa both showing keen interest.

[@MichaelYates-u7c]

@@ERICKKUMARI which is why about 8 months ago here in Tanzania, suddenly it was showing up in used water bottles for half the regular price . Now it's literally everywhere, market flooded bc china isn't buying.

[@avax5717]

​@@MichaelYates-u7cmmmh every where there was sesame oil in water bottle??? I don't know that "every where" In Tanzania represent where. Coz never saw it.
