NEW DELHI/SEOUL. In India, the Diwali celebrations are just around the corner. At the same time, South Korea has announced that a new sesame seed tender will take place next week.

The Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food Trade Corporation has now announced a new tender through which the country intends to purchase a total of 3,000 mt of standard quality sesame seeds. Bidders can register until 4 November 2024 and the evaluation will take place the following day. Shipments must be received at the port of Busan by 20 December.
