Seeds & Herbs — Oilseeds

Sesame Seeds Exporter to Vietnam — Pakistan Sesame Seeds Supplier

Vietnam is one of Asia's most dynamic sesame markets: oil crushers pressing cooking and roasted sesame oil, confectionery plants making mè xửng and sesame brittle, rice-cracker and bakery lines, and a growing hulling industry that processes imported seed for re-export to Japan, Korea, and Europe. Domestic production covers only part of that demand. Kohenoor International, exporting from Hyderabad, Sindh since 1957, supplies natural white, hulled, and black sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum, HS Code 1207.40) at 99.98% purity with transit times of just 10-14 days FOB Karachi to Ho Chi Minh City — among the shortest of any major origin — and complete phytosanitary documentation for Plant Protection Department clearance.

Why Vietnamese Buyers Choose Pakistani Sesame

Vietnamese importers weigh three things above all: landed cost, transit time, and hulling or roasting performance. Pakistani sesame scores strongly on all three. Here is why buyers in Ho Chi Minh City, Hanoi, and Da Nang work with Kohenoor International:

Vietnam's Sesame Market: Processing, Confectionery & Re-Export

Vietnam grows sesame in its central and southern provinces, but the domestic crop is small relative to what the country's food industry and processors consume, so imported seed fills the gap. Demand runs on several engines at once. Oil crushing supplies both everyday cooking oil and premium roasted sesame oil for the domestic market. Confectionery is a signature segment — mè xửng (the famous Huế sesame-peanut chewy candy), sesame brittle, and snack bars — alongside rice crackers and bakery (bánh tráng mè, breadsticks, bun toppings). Black sesame feeds traditional desserts like chè mè đen and a modern health food segment of powders and drinks.

On top of domestic consumption, Vietnam has built a competitive hulling and re-export industry: importing raw seed, hulling and sorting it to tight specifications, and re-exporting to premium markets. That industry rewards origins that deliver uniform, high-purity seed on short transit times — exactly where Pakistani sesame, and Kohenoor's sortex-cleaned grading, is strongest.

Applications for Pakistani Sesame in Vietnam

Sesame Oil Crushing

Cooking & Roasted Oil Mills
48-52% oil content; FFA ≤2%

Natural white sesame optimised for extraction. High oil content and low FFA improve crush yields and keep roasted-oil flavour clean and stable on the shelf.

Recommended: Natural white sesame, 20ft FCL (18-19 MT)

Confectionery

Mè Xửng, Brittle & Snack Bars
Admixture ≤0.02%; even roasting

Low admixture and uniform kernels give candy makers repeatable roasting colour and flavour — critical for Huế-style mè xửng, sesame brittle, and bars where seed is the star ingredient.

Recommended: Natural white or hulled sesame

Rice Crackers & Bakery

Bánh Tráng Mè & Toppings
Uniform colour after sortex grading

Even seed size and colour make our sesame ideal for sesame rice crackers, breadsticks, burger buns, and baked snacks where visual consistency drives repeat purchase.

Recommended: Natural white or hulled sesame

Black Sesame Desserts

Chè Mè Đen, Powders & Drinks
Deep uniform colour; clean taste

Traditional black sesame sweet soup and the modern health segment of powders, milks, and fillings need consistently dark, clean-tasting seed. Ours is colour-sorted for this use.

Recommended: Black sesame, 25 KG PP bags

Hulling & Re-Export

Processing for Japan, Korea & EU
Graded for mechanical hulling lines

Uniform kernel size, controlled moisture, and low admixture give hulling processors stable yields and premium-grade output for demanding re-export customers.

Recommended: Natural white sesame, multi-container

Trading & Distribution

Wholesalers & Food Service
Custom packing & buyer marks available

Trading houses in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi redistribute sesame nationwide. We support custom bag weights, private marks, and mixed-variety containers on request.

Recommended: 25/50 KG PP bags with buyer branding

Frequently Asked Questions — Sesame Seeds to Vietnam

What is the minimum order quantity for sesame seeds to Vietnam?

Our standard MOQ for Vietnamese buyers is 5 metric tons (MT). Most oil crushers, confectionery plants, and hulling processors order full container loads of 18-19 MT (20ft FCL), and volume pricing applies for multi-container and contract orders. Pre-shipment samples of 500 g to 2 kg are couriered to Vietnam within 5-7 days.

How long does shipping take from Karachi to Ho Chi Minh City or Haiphong?

Sailings from Karachi Port (KICT/SAPT) reach Ho Chi Minh City (Cat Lai / Cai Mep) in approximately 10-14 days and Haiphong in 12-16 days depending on the carrier and routing. We ship via major carriers including Maersk, MSC, CMA CGM, and COSCO, and share the booking confirmation and vessel schedule at order confirmation.

What documents do you provide for Vietnamese customs and plant-quarantine clearance?

Every shipment to Vietnam includes a Phytosanitary Certificate issued by Pakistan's Department of Plant Protection meeting the requirements of Vietnam's Plant Protection Department, a Certificate of Analysis, Certificate of Origin, Bill of Lading, commercial invoice, and packing list. Fumigation certificates and third-party inspection (SGS or equivalent) are available on request, and we coordinate with your customs broker to pre-clear any queries.

Can you supply hulling-grade sesame for Vietnam's re-export processors?

Yes. Vietnamese hulling and re-export processors serving Japan, Korea, and EU buyers need uniform kernel size, low admixture, and consistent moisture for stable hulling yields. We grade lots specifically for mechanical hulling lines and support custom packing, buyer marks, and mixed-variety containers.

What payment terms do you accept for Vietnamese buyers?

We accept T/T (telegraphic transfer, typically 30% advance with balance against scanned shipping documents) and irrevocable LC at sight from recognized banks. For established repeat buyers we can discuss CAD terms. All prices are quoted FOB Karachi, CFR, or CIF Vietnamese ports in USD.
