News Capsule: Sesame Market Update: Support Expected from Korea Tenders, Brazil Supply May Decline
★ The sesame market is currently धीमा (slow), but improvement is expected in the coming months.
★ South Korea is likely to issue new tenders of around 12,000 MT during April–May
★ Trading activity in India has slowed due to the end of the marketing season, with prices holding at lower levels
★ China demand may increase, with preference for closer origins like India due to freight advantage
★ Brazil’s crop is expected to be smaller this year, which could provide price support
★ Overall, the market remains weak at present, but Korea tenders, improving Chinese demand, and lower Brazilian supply may support sesame prices in the near term.
