Brazil grows sesame in Goiás, Mato Grosso and the north-east, but volumes and quality swing with the season, and much of the crop is exported. Industrial buyers in São Paulo, Curitiba, Belo Horizonte and Porto Alegre need year-round, consistent, sortex-cleaned seed. They work with Kohenoor International because:
Brazil is a continental food market. Fast-food chains and industrial bakeries consume sesame by the container for buns and sliced bread; tahini and hummus have moved from niche to supermarket staple; snack, granola and cereal-bar makers use whole and hulled sesame; and black sesame is growing in the health-food channel. Domestic production, concentrated in Goiás and Mato Grosso, is largely exported as raw seed, leaving industrial buyers dependent on imports of cleaned, graded sesame.
Pakistani sesame gives Brazilian importers a consistent, sortex-cleaned origin with high oil content at a competitive landed cost via Santos. Kohenoor International prepares each consignment with the Certificate of Analysis, phytosanitary certificate and origin documents required by the Ministério da Agricultura (MAPA) and ANVISA, supports importers with Portuguese paperwork and LI/DI registration in the Portal Único, and can consolidate sesame with fennel, fenugreek and other spice seeds in one container.
Bakeries and bun suppliers to fast-food and retail need consistent topping seed.
Tahini and hummus brands serving the plant-based market need high-oil hulled seed.
Snack, granola and cereal-bar makers need metal-detected, low-admixture lots.
Functional-food brands making black sesame pastes, powders and bars.
Oil pressers and natural-cosmetics brands using sesame oil.
Trading houses supplying bakeries and food service need mixed-grade containers with buyer branding.

Sesame enters Brazil as a plant product subject to MAPA phytosanitary control and, as a food ingredient, ANVISA regulations, with the import licence (LI) and declaration (DI/DUIMP) filed in the Portal Único SISCOMEX by your despachante. Every Kohenoor consignment to Brazil includes:
Brazilian bakery and tahini lines run on volume; an inconsistent origin costs downtime. Kohenoor International already serves Latin American buyers in Brazil, Colombia, Peru, Panama, Mexico and Argentina and ships lab-tested sesame with documents that clear first time.
Our standard MOQ for Brazilian buyers is 5 metric tons. Bakeries and tahini producers typically order 18-19 MT (20ft FCL) or multi-container contracts; volume pricing applies from one FCL.
Natural white sesame with bright, even colour is the bun and bakery grade; hulled white sesame with 48-52% oil is the tahini and premium grade; black sesame serves health foods and snacks. Samples of each are couriered for a trial batch.
Typically 35-45 days including transshipment. Allow 7-10 days for processing and booking, so plan 6-8 weeks from order to arrival.
Yes. Every consignment ships with a phytosanitary certificate, Certificate of Analysis (including aflatoxin and residues) and Certificate of Origin, with Portuguese translations of the invoice and packing list, aligned to your LI/DI in the Portal Único.
We accept irrevocable letters of credit at sight from Brazilian banks and T/T payments (30% with the order, 70% against the bill of lading copy). Prices are quoted in USD, FOB Karachi, CFR or CIF Santos / Paranaguá / Itajaí.
