Sesame Seeds Exporter to Morocco — Pakistan Sesame Seeds Supplier (Graines de Sésame)

Sesame is everywhere in Moroccan food: on khobz and krachel, in chebakia and sellou for Ramadan, in ghriba and briouat pastries, in amlou and in the tahini and halva now produced industrially in Casablanca. Morocco grows almost none of it and imports thousands of tonnes a year. Kohenoor International, exporting from Hyderabad, Sindh since 1957, supplies natural white, hulled and black sesame (Sesamum indicum, HS 1207.40) at 99.98% purity and 48-52% oil content to Moroccan pastry manufacturers, bakeries, tahini plants and importers, shipped FOB Karachi to Casablanca or Tanger Med in 18-24 days with ONSSA-ready documentation.

Why Moroccan Food Manufacturers Choose Pakistani Sesame

Moroccan importers have long sourced sesame from Sudan, Ethiopia, Nigeria and India, often through European traders. Disrupted African supply, freight cost and ONSSA’s residue and aflatoxin controls have pushed buyers in Casablanca, Fès, Marrakech and Tangier to qualify a second reliable origin. They work with Kohenoor International because:

The Moroccan Sesame Market: Pastry Tradition, Industrial Bakery and Ramadan Peaks

Moroccan cuisine uses sesame in dozens of traditional preparations, and the country’s bakery and pastry industry has industrialised rapidly: large biscuit and pastry groups in Casablanca and Mohammedia, bread and viennoiserie producers supplying Marjane, Carrefour and Aswak Assalam, artisan pastry chains, and a tahini and halva sector serving both domestic demand and exports. Demand peaks sharply before Ramadan and Eid, when chebakia and sellou production consumes a large share of annual sesame imports.

Because domestic sesame production is negligible, every tonne is imported and inspected by the Office National de Sécurité Sanitaire des Produits Alimentaires (ONSSA) at Casablanca or Tanger Med. Kohenoor International supplies natural white, hulled and black grades from one origin, prepares the Certificate of Analysis, phytosanitary certificate and origin documents ONSSA requires, and supports importers with French-language paperwork so cargo clears through PortNet without holds.
