In 2023, sesame seed losses in China stood at 36,000 metric tons. The forecast for 2024-2028 shows a slight decline, with losses projected to remain at 36,000 metric tons until 2026 and decrease to 35,000 metric tons in 2027 and 2028. This represents a modest decrease of approximately 2.78% in losses from 2026 to 2027 and stability in the subsequent year. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for sesame seed losses is negligible, indicating a stable trend.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of climate change on agricultural outputs and potential shifts in domestic policies that could influence sesame seed production and loss management. Continuous monitoring of technological advancements in farming techniques is also crucial, as they may help mitigate losses.
