Sesaco operates a fully integrated supply chain from seed development through ingredient sales
The world's first shatter resistant sesame
About Us
Since 1979, Sesaco has been focused on building a sustainable supply chain to increase the production and consumption of sesame. While long valued as an important food throughout Asia & the Mediterranean, insecurity in traditional supply channels and the inherent production difficulties associated with a shattering crop prevented large scale commercialization.
In 2008, Sesaco made a major leap forward with the invention and commercial release of improved non-dehiscent (IND) sesame varieties capable of full mechanical harvest. This fundamentally changed the way sesame has been cultivated and harvested for 5,500 years and is a critical anchor in securing the supply necessary to expand further ingredient development.
We believe strongly in the beneficial impact of sesame on the planet and are driven to increase production and consumption accordingly.
