Sesame Seeds Exporter to Egypt — Pakistan Sesame Seeds Supplier

Why Egyptian Tahini and Halawa Makers Choose Pakistani Sesame

Egypt has historically bought sesame from Sudan, Ethiopia and Nigeria. Supply disruption in Sudan, freight uncertainty in the Red Sea and stricter food-safety inspection have pushed Egyptian processors to diversify. Importers in Cairo, Alexandria, 10th of Ramadan and Borg El Arab work with Kohenoor International because:

• Tahini-grade natural white sesame — Light colour, clean nutty flavour and 48-52% oil give tahini and halawa producers high paste yield and the pale colour Egyptian consumers expect.
• Hulled sesame for premium lines — Mechanically hulled white sesame for premium tahini, halawa and bakery toppings, with 99.98% purity and uniform kernel size.
• Short Red Sea transit: 10-14 days — Karachi to Ain Sokhna or Port Said is one of the shortest sesame supply lanes into Egypt, comparable to Sudanese origin by sea and far shorter than West Africa.
• Sortex-cleaned, metal-detected lots — Admixture at 0.02% or below protects roasters and stone mills and reduces sorting cost at your plant.
• Aflatoxin and residue tested — Every lot is lab-tested with a Certificate of Analysis to support inspection by the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) at the port.
• Documents built for Nafeza — We register shipments for the ACID number in advance and match invoice, packing list and certificates to the Nafeza submission so cargo clears without holds.

The Egyptian Sesame Market: Tahini, Halawa and Regional Re-Export

Egypt consumes sesame on an industrial scale. Tahini is a daily staple; halawa tahiniya is a national confectionery exported across the Gulf, Europe and North America; simsimiya and sesame-topped bread (semit, fino) run through every bakery. Large processors in Greater Cairo, Alexandria and the 10th of Ramadan and Sadat industrial cities import hulled and natural sesame year-round, while regional traders re-export finished tahini and halawa throughout the Arab world. Domestic sesame from Sohag, Assiut and Minya is prized but limited, so imports fill most of the gap.

The traditional origins — Sudan above all — have become unreliable since 2023, and Egyptian buyers now qualify second and third sources as a matter of policy. Pakistani sesame fits: similar white-seed profile, high oil content, sea transit of under two weeks, and a supplier that already ships into Egypt’s Nafeza customs system. Kohenoor International supplies tahini plants and importers with natural white and hulled grades, full documentation and a Certificate of Analysis for every lot.

Sesame Seeds Specifications

Shipping & Logistics: Karachi to Egypt

We load at Karachi Port (KICT / SAPT), about 165 km from our Hyderabad facility. Direct Red Sea services connect Karachi with Egypt’s Suez Canal and Mediterranean gateways:

Documentation for Nafeza, ACID and Egyptian Customs Clearance

All sea imports into Egypt must be pre-registered on the Nafeza single-window platform to obtain an Advance Cargo Information Declaration (ACID) number before loading, and food consignments are inspected by the National Food Safety Authority (NFSA) and plant quarantine (CAPQ) on arrival. Every Kohenoor consignment to Egypt includes:

• ACID registration support — we upload the invoice and packing list through CargoX / Nafeza in coordination with your importer registration so the ACID number is issued before the container is loaded
• Phytosanitary Certificate — issued by Pakistan’s Department of Plant Protection for plant-quarantine clearance
• Certificate of Analysis — purity, moisture, oil content, FFA, admixture and aflatoxin for NFSA inspection; pesticide-residue panel on request
• Certificate of Origin — attested by the Hyderabad Chamber of Commerce and legalised by the Egyptian consulate on request
• Commercial invoice, packing list and Bill of Lading — matching the ACID number, importer tax ID and Nafeza submission line for line
