Sesame Seeds Exporter to South Korea — Pakistan Sesame Seeds Supplier

Why Korean Buyers Choose Pakistani Sesame

South Korea imports the great majority of the sesame it consumes. Domestic seed is scarce and expensive, out-of-quota tariffs are very high (around 630%), and import volumes are concentrated in tariff-rate-quota purchases — much of it via aT tenders — alongside processing-trade demand. That makes origin quality and documentation reliability decisive. Here is why importers in Busan, Seoul, and Incheon buy from Kohenoor International:

• High Oil Content: 48-52% — Korean chamgireum pressers value Pakistani sesame for oil yield among the highest of any commercial origin, with free fatty acid held at ≤2% to protect the fragrant-oil flavour profile that Korean consumers expect.
• 99.98% Purity, Sortex-Cleaned — Multi-stage processing (pre-cleaning, de-stoning, gravity separation, colour sorting, metal detection) holds admixture at ≤0.02%. For roasted-seed products, that means fewer burnt specks, uniform colour development, and cleaner intake lines.
• MFDS-Ready Documentation — Every lot ships with a Certificate of Analysis covering aflatoxin and a pesticide-residue screen aligned with Korea's Positive List System (PLS), plus the Phytosanitary Certificate — prepared so the MFDS food import inspection clears without queries.
• aT Tender & TRQ Supply Experience — We quote firm, validity-stated FOB/CFR prices with tender-spec CoAs and committed shipment windows, supporting both tender participants and private processors importing under quota allocations.
• Short, Reliable Transit: 14-18 Days — Karachi to Busan is weeks faster than African or Latin American origins, reducing inventory risk and keeping fresh-crop quality intact on arrival.
• Direct Farm-to-Port Sourcing — We buy directly from growers across Sindh and Punjab and process in Hyderabad, giving traceable lots, consistent grading, and competitive FOB pricing without intermediary margins.

South Korea's Sesame Market: Oil Pressing & Food Demand

Sesame sits at the heart of Korean food culture. Roasted sesame oil (chamgireum) is pressed by everyone from artisan mills at traditional markets to industrial crushers supplying retail brands, and oil yield per tonne of seed decides their margins. Toasted and ground sesame (kkae-sogeum) seasons soups, namul, and barbecue dipping salts, demanding uniform kernel size and colour. And black sesame (heugimja) has become one of Korea's strongest health food trends — black sesame lattes, porridges, powders, and desserts — pulling premium volumes of deep-coloured, clean-tasting black seed.

Bakery, confectionery, and food service add steady baseline demand. Because Korean processors work to tight specifications and MFDS inspection is documentation-driven, buyers consolidate around exporters who deliver the same specification lot after lot with complete paperwork. Kohenoor International supplies exactly that: sortex-cleaned, lab-tested sesame with a Korea-ready document set on every container.
