Sesame Seeds from Nigeria: Exporter, Supplier, Shipping
Nigerian white sesame seeds sourced across Kano, Jigawa, Nasarawa, and Benue, cleaned and graded to confectionery, tahini, and oil pressing standards.
Nigeria is one of the largest global suppliers of white sesame, and our sourcing network covers the northern belt where the highest oil content lots are grown. We buy at harvest, hold in inspected storage, and load against a signed contract with your specification attached.
Every consignment is cleaned to the contracted admixture level, checked for moisture and FFA, and photographed at loading. Buyers receive the pre-shipment inspection report before the container leaves.
