Freshdi Market Insight
Make smarter Raw Sesame Seeds sourcing decisions with real market data
Nigeria (22.1%) and India (12.6%) lead the 253 Raw Sesame Seeds suppliers, with Ethiopia at 7.9%, so sourcing from outside these top origins is rare and may require negotiation. The typical range is USD 500 - 1,700 per metric ton FOB, centered around a USD 1,250 median, meaning buyers should assess quality and origin to find the best fit within this spread. Buyer inquiries increased 133.3% to 7 in the last 30 days. Buyers request CIF more often than suppliers offer it — a 10.5 percentage point gap — so a CIF price must be explicitly asked for.

How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Raw Sesame Seeds had 38 new listings in the last 30 days, more than the 22 the month before. New offers are arriving at a faster rate than a month ago, so the catalog a buyer sees today includes more recent pricing and pack sizes. Compare the listing date with older offers when evaluating price or volume options.
Is the market busy?
8 of the 253 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, mostly long-standing suppliers. The pool includes a mix of sellers with long-standing records and a small number of new entrants. Buyers can access a broad range of established names, but the new ones have less history to assess. Review each supplier's listing consistency before contacting them for a first order.

| Middle East & North Africa | 72 requests | 293 products | 4.1 |
| Gulf Cooperation Council | 48 requests | 293 products | 6.1 |

| United Arab Emirates | 32 requests | 293 products | 9.2 |
Worldwide, 293 listings meet 280 buyer requests - 1.0 listings per request, as many listings as requests, so suppliers compete. The Middle East & North Africa sends 72 requests (25.7%), and there the same 293 listings make 4.1 listings per request. With more listings than requests, a supplier needs a sharp price or terms to win each request. Quote the global or the regional figure to match your market - the two are not interchangeable.
CIF leads the gap: 46.7% of buyer requests ask for it against 36.2% of listings (177 demand vs 227 supply observations). EXW runs the other way - 9.4% of listings against 3.2% of requests. A supplier able to quote CIF stands out.

Buyers ask for Nigerian origin in 7 requests against 24 listings (0.29 requests per listing) - more listings than requests, so buyers have choice; Indian origin has 5 requests vs 66 listings (0.08 per listing) - again, buyer choice; Chinese origin has 5 requests vs 4 listings (1.25 requests per listing) - more requests than listings, an opening for Chinese suppliers.

Methodology
How the numbers on this page are produced, and what they do not cover.
Every figure comes from Raw Sesame Seeds listings, supplier quotes and buyer requests posted on Freshdi in the 365 days to 8 October 2026 - 504 active listings, 43 buyer requests, 293 source documents, and 1,274 supply observations from the last 90 days. External export benchmarks are cited separately and never mixed into Freshdi figures.
Price and MOQ ranges are the interquartile range - the middle half of quotes, a quarter below and a quarter above - with the median reported alongside. A Raw Sesame Seeds type is priced only once it holds at least 5% of supply price quotes and 3 priced listings with a real range; below that it is not listed. Buyer prices are compared only once there are at least 5 of them.
All prices are FOB, in USD per metric ton; quotes on other Incoterms are converted to a FOB equivalent. Freshdi does not hold a CIF price series for Raw Sesame Seeds, so no landed-cost comparison is possible from this data.
Demand-versus-supply differences in trade and payment term shares are stated in percentage points, and origin rows add buyer requests per listing. Each figure carries its market scope - global - beside the number rather than in a footnote.
Product freshness counts listings created or updated. Supplier activity counts sellers by their last update. The two are different measurements and will not agree.
