Earlier Report Observations

The sesame oil market in Sudan opened the period with a volume of 25 200 t in 2018. That year, financial stability measures, including inflation control at around 19.5% and real GDP growth of approximately 4%, supported agricultural sector conditions. Additionally, the activation of the interbank market improved financing access for agricultural trade. However, by 2019, market volume declined to 21 900 t, even as global sesame prices remained stable—a factor that typically underpins producer margins but did not prevent the contraction.

Market volume continued to decrease in 2020, falling to 19 900 t. A sharp rebound followed in 2021, with volume surging by 38% to 27 500 t, reaching the highest point in the observed period. This recovery brought the market back above its 2018 level.

In the following two years, the market stabilized near the 27 000 t mark. Volume eased slightly to 26 900 t in 2022 and then to 26 100 t in 2023, indicating a period of consolidation after the 2021 peak.
