Earlier Report Observations
Between 2018 and 2020, the Australian sesame oil and fractions market volume expanded from 4 486 tonnes to 5 344 tonnes. This growth coincided with long-term industry drivers noted in 2018, including rising global sesame demand, Australia's proximity to international markets, high crop prices, and the availability of suitable agricultural land, which supported the development of domestic production and overall market capacity.
After reaching a peak in 2020, the market contracted to 5 049 tonnes in 2021 and further to 4 379 tonnes in 2022, before recovering to 4 862 tonnes in 2023.
