2. Mr. Gebru Alemu, Ethiopian Envoy to China, spoke about the important position of the sesame industry in Ethiopia for the Participants. Sesame is one of the oldest oil crops in the world. It grows in tropical and subtropical regions. In the past 10 years, sesame has been the main export product of Ethiopia. Ethiopia has been expanding exports of sesame for several years. It is the second only to coffee in Ethiopia’s export earnings. Crops. Ethiopia needs to increase revenue by adding value-added methods. Not only does it export raw materials, but the government encourages exporters and producers to invest in the production of value-added products.

Sesame is a labor-intensive industry, and productivity must be improved, requiring more investment, better technology and processing equipment. Ethiopia has established an agricultural industrial park to promote agricultural development and hopes that more Chinese companies will settle in the park. Continue to maintain stable cooperation in the global epidemic environment.

Question: There has been no trend of increasing production in West Africa for two or three years. Has the planting area reached its peak?

Answer: A most of the farmers in West Africa have found the best way to grow sesame. The price of sesame is not very good with other crops. Other crops are supported by the government, and the government encourages people to plant more other crops. We can't expect sesame production to continue to expand unless prices rise sharply and farmers have a renewed enthusiasm for planting. There won't be much enthusiasm for planting at the current price.

Question: This year, both buyers and sellers benefit more from the export price of peanuts in Sudan. Will farmers plant more peanuts and reduce sesame planting?

Answer: A peanuts and sesame are basically the same. Peanuts are in the west of Sudan and sesame is in the East. I don't think that farmers who grow sesame will plant peanuts. Other factors, such as rainfall, will also affect the yield of the two crops. Their planting and harvesting time is the same, and planting and harvesting will not affect the planting of sesame.
