About this product
Humera-type sesame earns a premium for its bold seed, whitish color and high oil content, which give tahini makers a smooth, sweet paste. Israel, the UAE and Turkey take most of Ethiopia’s sesame exports, much of it for tahini and halva.
Ethiopia’s sesame harvest runs from October to December, and Hajuta ships new-crop Humera from November through May. Each lot goes through full machine cleaning and fumigation before Hajuta packs it in 50 kg PP bags for loading at Djibouti.
Hajuta confirms final specifications for each lot against the agreed pre-shipment sample.
