Economics of Sesame and Its Use Dynamics in Ethiopia

  • How is sesame oil extracted?
  • Sesame oil is mainly extracted by pressing; however, sometimes seeds are mechanically pre-pressed followed by solvent extraction. During conventional processing, severe heat treatment during the oil extraction, not only affects the oil quality but also denatures the protein in the meal which is ultimately fed to animals as a protein source.
  • Does Ethiopia produce Sesame seeds?
  • In Ethiopia, sesame seed production and export alone is twice larger than all other oil seeds together. Humera, North Gondar, and Wollega zones are the major sesame-growing areas in the country for local consumption and export market . The latter two zones produce more than 60% of the country’s total sesame annual yield .
  • What oilseeds are used in Ethiopia?
  • Nine oilseeds namely noug, gomenzer, linseed, soybean, sunflower, castor, sesame, ground nut and cotton are important in Ethiopia for edible oil consumption. During the last 60 years, 156 varieties with their production practices were registered. Sesame contributes significantly to the foreign currency earnings next to coffee.
  • Can genetic engineering improve oil content and seed yield in sesame plants?
  • Genetic engineering techniques have been used to enhance the oil content and seed yield in sesame plants by targeting essential enzymes involved in oil synthesis, including diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT), phospholipid diacylglycerol acyltransferases (PDAT), fatty acid desaturases (FAD), and cytochrome b 5 (Muthulakshmi et al., 2021).
