Premium Sesame Seeds from Kenya
Sesame seeds are harvested from sesame plants, dried to safe moisture levels, and mechanically cleaned to remove debris, dirt, and foreign matter. The seeds are sorted by density, colour, and size to achieve uniform quality, then packed in food-grade polypropylene bags, kraft sacks, or bulk containers for export. Both white and black sesame varieties meet international food safety standards and phytosanitary requirements for shipment to importing countries.
Sesame seeds are sourced and exported by Jabali Madini Ltd from Kenya through the Port of Mombasa to oil millers, tahini manufacturers, and food processors across East Africa, West Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Asia. Steady demand exists from sesame oil producers, bakery suppliers, and ingredient distributors serving the food manufacturing sector. The product is available FOB Mombasa in 20-foot container quantities with lead times of 2 to 4 weeks. Export documentation includes phytosanitary certificates, certificates of origin, bills of lading, and quality testing reports.
