Sesame Seeds Exporter to Saudi Arabia — Pakistan Sesame Seeds Supplier

Why Saudi Food Manufacturers Choose Pakistani Sesame

Saudi importers have traditionally bought sesame from Sudan, Ethiopia, Nigeria and India. Supply disruption in Sudan, Red Sea freight volatility and SFDA’s tightening residue and aflatoxin controls have made a second, reliable origin a necessity. Processors in Jeddah, Riyadh, Dammam and Al-Kharj work with Kohenoor International because:

• Tahini and halawa grade — Light-coloured natural white sesame with 48-52% oil for high paste yield and the pale tahini and halawa Saudi consumers expect; hulled sesame for premium lines.
• 5-7 days to Dammam — Karachi to the Eastern Province is one of the shortest sesame lanes into the Kingdom — faster than any African origin and without Red Sea transit risk for east-coast buyers.
• Sortex-cleaned, metal-detected — Admixture at 0.02% or below protects roasters and stone mills and cuts sorting cost at the plant.
• Aflatoxin and residue tested per lot — A Certificate of Analysis covering purity, moisture, oil content, FFA, aflatoxin and pesticide residues supports SFDA import inspection.
• SFDA and SABER documentation — We prepare halal-compliant, Arabic-labelled consignments with the documents your SFDA import registration and SABER conformity process require.
• Direct processor pricing — Sourced from Sindh and Punjab growers and processed in our own Hyderabad facility, so FOB Karachi prices carry no trading-house margin.

The Saudi Sesame Market: Tahini, Bakery, Pilgrim Demand and Vision 2030 Food Manufacturing

Sesame is embedded in the Saudi diet and in the food-manufacturing base the Kingdom is building under Vision 2030. Large tahini and halawa producers in Jeddah and Riyadh, industrial bakeries supplying hypermarkets, and snack and confectionery brands in the Eastern Province all run on imported sesame. Seasonal demand peaks around Ramadan, Hajj and Umrah, when bakeries and sweet makers scale up for millions of pilgrims and residents.

Saudi buyers are documentation-driven: the Saudi Food and Drug Authority inspects food imports at the port, and the SABER platform requires conformity certificates for many food products. Kohenoor International supplies natural white, hulled and black grades from one origin, aligns documents with your SFDA import registration, and ships from Karachi to Dammam in under a week, giving Saudi processors a dependable alternative to African supply chains.
