Why Brazilian Food Manufacturers Choose Pakistani Sesame

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:

The Brazilian Sesame Market: Bakery Scale, Plant-Based Growth and Import Dependence

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.
