Sesame seeds are cultivated primarily for their high-quality oil content, grown across nearly 70 countries. In Pakistan, sesame is produced in multiple districts under both irrigated and rain-fed conditions. Renowned for their rich oil composition and high protein levels (up to 22%), sesame seeds are considered a premium oilseed crop suitable for hot, arid climates. They are widely used for edible oil extraction, culinary applications, and nutritional formulations.
