Sesame seeds are one of the oldest cultivated crops in the world. Yet even in today’s era of modern logistics and certification, a serious problem continues to disrupt global supply chains and damage importer trust: inconsistent quality and misleading documentation.
This is the single biggest issue faced by buyers in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia—and it’s why so many businesses hesitate to change suppliers.
How the Problem Starts
The problem begins long before a shipment leaves the warehouse. Unlike regulated commodities with standardized controls, sesame seeds are often traded by volume-focused brokers who prioritize price over quality.
When demand spikes, suppliers may cut corners:
-
Mixing old and new harvests to fill orders
-
Skipping proper cleaning and moisture control
-
Substituting lower-grade seeds to maintain profit margins
On paper, the documents look perfect. In reality, the shipment is anything but.
The Real Impact on Buyers
I’ve seen it happen repeatedly:
✅ Containers arriving with visible mold because the moisture content exceeded safe levels.
✅ Shipments rejected by customs for lacking correct phytosanitary certification.
✅ Bags infested with insects because fumigation was skipped.
✅ Buyers forced to reprocess or discard entire lots—losing thousands in costs and customer trust.
One importer in the UAE shared on Quora:
“We switched suppliers because the product was cheaper, but the damage was immediate. Three containers were rejected. Our client relationships were severely impacted.”
This is not a rare story. It happens every season.
Why It Persists
Even reputable exporters sometimes struggle because:
-
Supply chains are fragmented. Farmers, processors, and brokers each handle part of the process, but accountability gets lost.
-
Inspection is inconsistent. Without rigorous third-party checks, you can’t be sure what’s in the bag.
-
Certifications can be forged. It’s an uncomfortable truth—but real certificates must be verified directly.
