After Sunday holiday, market arrival today on Monday higher than normal to all local markets in Gujarat. Local market is down by $30 per mt.  Prices hits at rock bottom due to heavy presser in the market of Gujarat State. Rain has also started which is good for the sowing of new sesame seeds. If there will be good rain in coming days which is required for the sesame crop than market can go further down. Today overall Indian Sesame Market is down. Last year crop i.e. winter crop of 2016 is available at lower prices than summer crop

Tanzania/Mozambique:

Whenever there is foreign visitors come to origin for visitors to buy or to see the cultivation, etc. local market will be stable or will go little up due to local people sentiment that there are foreigners came to market and there will be buying or demand. 

Market is stable and chines buyer prefer to buy new crop due FFA is lower in the new crop. They compare the prices and quality of other origin vis-à-vis to Tanzania and Mozambique and then they will buy. There is demand at lower prices from China.

Report on China Demand (A Biggest Buyer of the World for Sesame) :

  1. Yet there is huge quantity of sesame cargo lying at the port (Main port of China Qingdao and Tianjin).
  2. Chines importers has imported cargo are waiting to sale the cargo which they have bought at higher prices.
  3. Still Sellers presser of selling cargo which they have imported at higher level.
  4. Tanzania and Mozambique at lower level prices and people have places orders from $1150 to $980. The cargo will reach by next month beginning at that time market will be stable or can be little higher.
  5. Market sentiments are stable at this level.
  6. New Sesame sowing has started in China. Chines new crop will arrive in the month of September. 

According to personal views Prices will be stable and it may stop going down furthers. There will be demand at lower level prices. 

India market will is weaker even after Korean tender demand. The Total quantity India got about 4200 mt. out of 6000mt. which will not affect the Indian market at all. But this level is fair enough for the market for Sesame seeds.
