Ethiopian sesame seed in the two trade types buyers order by name, Humera type and Wollega type, cleaned and graded to the specification you send us. Humera type is the whitish seed most often asked for, for its aroma and sweet taste; Wollega type is bought mainly for its higher oil content.
Choosing the type
- Humera type: whitish seed, valued for its aroma and sweet taste, and cleaned to 99% purity. The type most often specified for bakery and confectionery work.
- Wollega type: higher oil content and cleaned to 98.5% purity, so it is usually bought for crushing rather than for the table.

How we quote
Send the purity, moisture, admixture and oil-content figures you work to, with the tonnage and the destination port. We confirm what is achievable from the current crop before you commit to anything, then come back with a landed cost covering the goods, inland movement to Djibouti, freight, insurance and documentation. A shipment that fails the specification does not travel.
