Trend : Firm
Sesame Seeds
Sesame seeds prices have been stable with no major bullish or bearish trend until we have more clarity on crop size and more importantly Weather patterns in the next 3-4 weeks. It has been continuously raining in most parts of Gujarat, which might affect the crop a little. But, any rains in September first half could have devastating effect.
Demand – S Korean tender (9800 Mts) was awarded last week; major supplier is India again. Prices were lower than current market, owing to bearish sentiments and new crop speculations. Other markets demand is steadily getting back to normal. Chinese demand is also expected to increase due to the Autumn festival in September.
Supply – Rains have already affected the Chinese sesame crop and may create issues in India crop if weather doesn’t change soon. Harvest should start from September mid onwards until October mid in different parts of India.
Trend : Stable (+/ -$50) (Bullish – only if rains spoil crops)
