Why UAE Buyers Choose Pakistani Sesame from Kohenoor

Whether you distribute from Deira's spice markets, manufacture tahini in an industrial zone, run bakery production for the region's hotel and QSR sector, or re-export from Jebel Ali Free Zone to Africa and the wider GCC, your sesame supplier determines your margins and your reliability. Here is what Kohenoor International brings to UAE buyers:

The UAE: The Gulf's Sesame Trading & Processing Hub

The UAE imports far more sesame than its population alone would suggest, because Dubai functions as the region's redistribution centre. Cargo landing at Jebel Ali — the largest port between Rotterdam and Singapore — is cleared, repacked, and re-exported to Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, East Africa, and beyond. At the same time, domestic demand is substantial and growing: the UAE's food manufacturing sector produces tahini, hummus, halva, and Arabic sweets at industrial scale; its bakery industry supplies thousands of hotels, restaurants, and retail chains; and its health food market is expanding demand for hulled and black sesame.

For all of these buyers, Pakistani sesame is the logical origin: quality on par with premium African seed, a freight advantage no other origin can match, and cultural and commercial ties that make communication and settlement straightforward. Kohenoor International has served Gulf buyers for decades — the UAE corridor is one of our most established trade lanes.

Applications for Pakistani Sesame in the UAE

Tahini & Hummus Production

Food Manufacturers
99.98% purity; 48-52% oil content

UAE tahini and hummus plants supplying retail and food service across the GCC need pale, smooth-grinding seed with clean flavour. Our natural white and hulled sesame is selected for exactly that duty.

Bakery & Hospitality

Industrial Bakeries, Hotels & QSR

Halva & Arabic Sweets

Confectionery Manufacturers
Low FFA (≤2%) for long shelf life

How UAE Buyers Order From Us

Why Kohenoor International

The Gulf trade rewards suppliers who deliver the same quality, bag after bag, year after year. That consistency is what Kohenoor International has built its name on since 1957.

For UAE buyers, the practical difference shows up in the calendar: a quote today, a sample this week, and a container alongside at Jebel Ali within days of loading. If you currently buy through intermediaries, moving to a direct FOB Karachi relationship with the processor typically improves both your landed cost and your quality visibility. Send us your current specification and volumes and we will quote against them line by line.

Frequently Asked Questions — Sesame Seeds to the UAE

What is the minimum order quantity for wholesale sesame seeds to the UAE?

Our MOQ for UAE buyers is 5 metric tons (MT). Dubai wholesalers and re-exporters usually take full 20ft containers (18-19 MT) for the best landed cost, while bakeries and tahini producers often start with 5-10 MT part-loads. Volume discounts apply on multi-container programs.

How fast is shipping from Karachi to Jebel Ali, Dubai?

Karachi to Jebel Ali is one of the shortest major trade lanes in the region: direct sailings arrive in approximately 4-6 days. This means UAE buyers can restock quickly, hold less inventory, and respond to sudden demand from bakery, tahini, and re-export customers.

What documents do you provide for UAE customs clearance?

Every shipment includes a Phytosanitary Certificate from Pakistan's Department of Plant Protection, a Certificate of Analysis, a Certificate of Origin attested by the Hyderabad Chamber of Commerce, commercial invoice, packing list, and Bill of Lading. Documentation is prepared to satisfy Dubai Municipality food import controls and MOCCAE requirements, and halal documentation is available on request.

Do you offer samples and private labeling for UAE buyers?

Yes to both. We courier 500 g to 2 kg samples to the UAE within 3-5 days. For private labeling, we pack in your branded 25/50 KG PP bags or custom retail-ready formats with your artwork, supporting Dubai-based brands and re-exporters who sell under their own marks across the GCC and Africa.

What payment terms do you accept for UAE orders?

We accept T/T (typically 30% advance with balance against scanned shipping documents) and irrevocable LC at sight. Given the short 4-6 day transit, many UAE buyers prefer T/T with documents released on payment confirmation. Prices are quoted in USD on FOB Karachi, CFR, or CIF Jebel Ali terms.
