Sesame production has been steadily decreasing compared to previous years. Although current yields are aligned with the sowing levels, weak arrivals in the market have caused prices to rise by ₹7-8 per kg over the past week. If demand remains strong, prices could increase by an additional ₹10 per kg in the near future. However, further price hikes beyond this could negatively impact the market, as cheaper imported sesame may start arriving.
